Geof, I'll be sending you an e-mail concerning a white Volvo. White Volvos have been and are availiable, it's just that the prices are too high. I have been trying to find one at the right price. That's the rub. onezman

Chuck, I think a lot of us are awaiting your report and hopefully many pictures. onezman

Geof wants a white one. I like white too! White only. I have access to Red Volvos, but no white ones as of now, doggone it! Do you need to have one with those side fuel tank farings Geof? If you send me the other information I asked for in my last E-mail, I will try to find a white one as...

Chris, I haven't seen any dealers that do frame work. Any frame shop should be able to handle it though. A far more important item is knowing what to look for when buying a used tractor. There are numerous pitfalls, even for an experienced tractor driver. It is not uncommon a for company...

Hi guys, There is plenty of room to haul two full size motorcycles behind the sleeper in front of a fiver with a 202 inch wheelbase. The shorter the wheelbase the shorter the tractor will turn. I don't have a formula for this but there probably is one. The 202 inch wheelbase turns real...

Good question Chris, Most OTR tandem axle tractors have a 38 or 40K rear axle rating. This means that when crossing weigh scales, a commercial vehicle can legally weigh the respective amounts above on the rear axles only. When one axle is removed from a tandem, so is 1/2 of the rear axle GVW...

Great looking rigs Warpath. Bet you cant wait till Dec 10. onezman

Hi Warpath, I went to the Showhauler site you posted. Their Frame contruction does look much stronger than anything I have seen. Looking at the bottom rear of the unit, it appears to me that using that low a structural configuration might lack sufficient ground clearance. The rear of the...

Warpath, Thanks for posting the picture of my latest conversion. This Volvo has already been sold. I have a link below concerning the Super 10 Transmission. The transmission in this Volvo is not the "top two". Otherwise, it's identical. Super 10 onezman [This message was edited by warpath...

Thanks for the update Warpath. Sounds like they know what they are doing. After all that time they have been doing it, I guess they would. I have converted anther Volvo, not really a conversion at all compared to what you are doing. This converted Volvo is already sold, but the site is below...

Hi Warpath, IM reading your posts right along Bill. I for one really appreciate your detailed information and pictures. I hope you will take a picture of the frame after they stretch it, and before they put anything on it. Do you know how deep they will overlap the frame sandwich? How many...

Thanks for your kind post Fuzz. I really enjoyed meeting with you and your wife. Who wouldn't enjoyed the company of a retired airline pilot like yourself? I love talking trucks with someone who is really interested in trucks. You are always welcome anytime. I am retired too, well semi-retired...

Hi Double Trouble, I have been a student of class 6 class & class 8 trucks for about 7-8 years now. I made all the expensive mistakes along the way. I am a retired full time Rver. (Now semi-retired) For the past 18 months I have been buying, converting for RV purposes, registering as an RV...

What is the wheelbase on this truck? How big is the "big" sleeper? What is the HP of the Cummins? An 8 speed is pretty much an obsolete transmission. The HP on this truck is very likely 330 or less. Is there a hub mileage meter on the rear axle that corroborates the mileage? What do you know...

Aluminum wheels are thicker than steel wheels. That's why two aluminums wheels won't fit on either side. The studs are too short as Bill stated. There is plenty of room to install just one aluminum wheel on the outside of each dual wheel. That way the outside wheels are polished aluminum on...

Not on topic, but both of my Volvos have been sold. I'M now in the market for another one. Larry

Just a clarification. The article above was written by Larry Zeigler. Warpath contacted me, and asked if I would be interesting in contributing to his new forum. I agreed to do so. The article above was originally written by me on The Escapees Forum. I told Warpath he could publish any of my...

Right. I pour the ATF in just before filling the tanks. That assures a good mixture. Hint, don't let anyone wearing a suit see you do it. Here's a tip on how to prevent fuel theft. I have never had it happen to me, but better safe than sorry. (Hate to use a cliche'). The fuel caps on these...
