I'm looking for a HDT conversion to pull my 24' enclosed trailer (might upgrade to 28' trailer) and race car and that we can live in at the track. I found this up in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. 1989 White Peterbilt 2002 24‘ conversion package 425 HP CAT engine 9 Speed Transmission Propane Furnace...

Are there more pictures posted somewhere else? or are they all on this thread? Thanks!

ITs always something!

Thanks for the insight. I'll keep you posted. I see another business opportunity here!

Heavy duty trailer hitch. Anyone have thoughts on this? Thanks! Dick

What will those 10 panels cost? How large are they? Manufacturer? Where do you get them? Inquiring minds will want to know! Thanks!

Does anyone know who builds this hitch? Was it custom made? Any idea how it works? Hydraulic cylinder that moves the hitch up and down? Its on the back of a Kingsley coach and is billed as a 40,000# hitch. Thanks!

Ethanol is nothing about a fraudulent hope being perpretrated on the American people by a special interest group and lawmakers who have been duped by their money. If the truth about the energy and water needed to make ethanol were known, the public would rise up. The IRL, Indianapolis Motor...

Kenn: Are you going to build a truck to pull the race car in a trailer? or were you thinking of a garage on the truck for the race car? Thanks! Dick

Nice job. Nice pictures. Keep us posted.

The gas jobs are good candidates for conversion to CNG; cuts your fuel costs by 40% or more.

I wonder what happened to the old truck!

Ideally I'd like to put a NASCAR-style lift gate on the back and put the race car in box with all the tires and tools!

I've noticed the Fed Ex Custom Critical HD straight trucks with large sleepers over the years. Saw another big one today. I did some research on the Fed Ex web site and discovered that the owner-operators who lease to Fed Ex Customer Critical cannot use a truck more than five years old. Then...

I can't get the links to work. Is this truck done? Anyone know where the pictures are? Thanks!

Where is home where you're having all this unusual weather?

First, I'm not an engineer, fabricator, nor welder. But I've watched lots of things built, have asked lots of questions over the years, and try to use as much common sense as possible. There are two types of loads: static and dynamic. If you were cantalevering the bed out beyond the box for...

There is a lesson in your experience for all of us! I want a truck to pull my race trailer that I can camp in for two or three days at the race track. One of the guys I race with started out with a 3/4 ton FWD pickup with a crew or extended cab, long box that he put a slide-in camper into and...

If you're in a area with lots of vacant warehouse or shop space, you've got lots of potential locations to contact. But if things in your area are "doing well" and there just isn't alot of vacant space, then you've got a challenge. Having to pay for a place to work might keep you moving along...

geokaye ... you have some interesting comments about slides. Is there anything good about slides? The comment from the guy with the band equipment is halarious. If we can patent common sense, put it in a bottle or pill, and get FDA approval ... we'd be rich!

Talking about the hose for the dumping the grey and black tanks took me back 15 years ago when I went racing quite often with a friend who had a Prevost. He started with a GMC motorhome (Toronado front wheel drive), then a Bluebird, and had four or five custom built Prevosts before he retired...

Lift the back wheels off the ground? Holy smokes! I'm impressed. Do the leveling jacks typically have that much traveling and power? What kind are they? What kind of race car do you have? Thanks for the info!

It appears to me that there are a number of different kinds of rear suspensions on big trucks; traditional leaf springs and some kind of air suspension. Can someone point me to an article or link that explains the difference and possibly the pros and cons. I'm interested in a HDT conversion...

What happened to ToolSet Motorhomes? The link doesn't work. Dick
