Anyone try this? There are lots of well cared for Fire Trucks out there. Then a few minutes later this popped up. Deuce and half chassis or a 5 ton? What you guys think?

Where do you get rivets like that, the O-rings, and the tool? Doesn't the action of drawing the rivet tight completely crush the o-ring? or is that the intention?

Thanks! That is what I was looking for.

My enclosed race trailer has a steel skeleton, 16" on center, with an aluminum skin that was attached by self-tapping sheet metal screws. The screws use a square (Robertson) bit (four points) and have an eight point "female" on the oval head of the screw. I've looked and looked and cannot find...

Anyone building new, this should be the only way to go. Mr. Dragon, I presume you're talking Peterbilt 379 or 359 Extended Hood, twin external exhaust stacks, no bunk over cab, lots of chrome, lots of lights, visor, train whistle, and CAT engine (that way you can proudly wear the CAT hat going...

Price is pretty low. I suspect that something might be wrong with it. The added box appears to be HUGE. You'd have to really look close at the construction and "the systems" that have been put into it. Might be a diamond in the rough ... or a money pit.

I agree 100% with Mr. Blizzards observations on the weight and balance importance. Tandem axles solves a bunch of front end weight problems ... unless you get everything too far forward!

Calculating weight and balance (Center of Gravity ... CG) will be key; especially if you go with a single axle in back. Get the CG to far forward and you'll overload the front axle, too far back and you'll be doing wheelies. Think about the heavy stuff and where it will be going. The CG...

Search the specs for the kind of truck you're thinking about. You'll see "BBC" which is Bumper to Back of Cab. For a Peterbilt 379 I think its 132" or 11'. Good luck. What kind of software are you using for the drawing?

Weight and balance is critical. Gordy knows of what he speaks.

why isn't it a toter home? What do you pull with it?

That sure is nice. Good idea on the fuel tanks.

Has anyone seem it? Anyone have pictures? Brad Keselowski shares vision for NASCAR's future DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Stroll through the compound where NASCAR's traveling circus lives, and it's easy to find Brad Keselowski's abode. Just look for the motor home that doesn't resemble anyone...

From the standpoint of DMV ... does iet become a big pickup truck with large cap enclosed box then? You might want to check with the companies that sell the MDT trucks converted for pulling large fifth wheel horse trailers, race trailers, and RV's. Many of those don't have have a toilet or...

Very nice!

Has anyone tried using "rescue tape" instead of heat-shrink on battery cables? Rescue Tape - World's #1 Brand of Silicone Tape! Rescue Tape . . . • Is Self-Fusing! • Incredible 950 PSI Tensile Strength! • Insulates 8,000 Volts per layer! • Withstands 500° F Degrees of heat! • Remains flexible...

Exchanged e-mail with a racer friend who is flying down for the 24 hours. Had they known about your trailer, they might have driven down and brought it back!

Had I known that a month ago ... I would have driven my Suburban down (equipped to pull my 24' enclosed race trailer) and brought your trailer back today! We flew down last Sunday (could have left from Suburban Chicago at 10pm on Saturday night) and left The Villages at 8am Sunday. Lots of...

Fusable (sp?) link. The alternator on my race car went out one time. Look it to a alternator/generator/starter repair guy. Been in the business most of life (now 60). Reputed to know everything there was to know about those three things. Fixed mine up. He asked if I had a "fusable link" in...

I wonder if that accident the family had with the truck conversion pulling the race trailer somewhere in the plains states where I think five people were killed has anything to do with this.

Thanks! I actually know the owner, we've been racing together somewhat for the last seven years. I've walked by the coach a few times. I think that is a price reduction!

Wow! Any links to the regulations?

Have you weighed the truck? Do you think you'll have a front axle weight problem? Whenever I see at T/C motorhome with little or no rear overhang and the generator, water tanks, waste tanks, etc. are ahead of the rear axle(s), I wonder how much weight of the truck is on the front axle and if...

It is interesting looking. It would be helpful if you rotated the pictures and provided pricing. Good luck with it. That must be quite the rig to drive through Wabeno in!

Thanks! Looks slick on 16. Did weld the end of the tank back on? or how did you fasten the end back on?
