41chevy Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Saw this DM for sale about a mile from my yard.Paint and body done by 40 grit, Rustoleum and a cheap brush. No info ,not even a phone number..Name and number on door is disconnected too..at a closed down factory. What was really interesting was the system to pressurize the tank I assume.....Paul Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22129-interesting-dm-6-series/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 That was the first thing we learned in advertising class - do not for any reason make it easy for a buyer to contact you!

hatcity Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Can't see what the pressure system looks like.Alot of times, they would have a deoderant spray to cut down on obnoxious odors.Also could be to put a lite spray of diesel into box so debris doesn't freeze in winter Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22129-interesting-dm-6-series/#findComment-94256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I have had to do the same thing to get a junk truck home with a bad lift pump. It was on a old S-series IHC 1900. We ran a air line from the bleeder on a air tank into the fuel tank through the fill hole and clamped a bunch of rags around it to halfway seal it. We opened a petcock in the line so it kept air pressure in the tank to force diesel up to the pump. It got us home, but we had to keep stopping to let the air build up in the leaky ol' binder.

41chevy Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 It has the roll off set up on it the tank is on the pass side A phone number and a 8250.00 price on it. The fuel tank set up is hooked to the air tank.... You get up to the cab the door bottoms,roof edges and cab corners are metal tape. For those from the Island it was an old Jamacia Ash than Gershaws truck.
