re Flames: Artworks unlimited is where I am going to have the pin stiping done. Patrick is a lad from Wis. and so is his bride. Not sure why all the midwesterners end up in Oregon. It is 10 above and gorgeous today. Let me know about the mods to your M-11, I just knew we were going to get...

OPM: That was/is my truck in Coos Bay. I am back in Mn but the truck is in Coos Bay being pin striped and lettered. I am flying back out on the 10th and will spend a week bumming up and down the coast. Where are you, maybe we can hook up. I saw a Newmar Mountain Aire this weekend that I...

Prior to taking off to a ski trip in Montana and some hiking in the Coos bay area of Oregon, I added a toy and some, lights to my 610. The toy was an XM satellite radio. This is way cool, 170 plus stations of any kind of music sportsl, news, and weather. I also took out the Delco cassett deck...

Dana: I was looking very seriously at converting my Volvo to a motorhome, but finances and not knowing about this board stopped me. I was going to use a 610 because you get the sleeper area for free. I can't find much difference in prices between a day cab and a sleeper, and wanted the extra...

Geof: When I had both axels, and locked the differential between, both sets of tires spun, this was bob tailed on a gravel incline. From what I know about traction, especially in snow, you want minimal surface area and a deep lugged tire that will not pack with snow. Don't know jack about...

Geoff: Dual axels do not necessarily improve traction. They improve the floatation and may keep you from sinking into a surface, but you need enough psi on a tire surface to get the tread to work and deform a bit, to get a grip on a surface. My post on building my own, the combination of...

Just wanted to update on the bed that has been made for me at Bayer auto for my Volvo 610. I will put together a detailed cost breakdown, but just for your thoughts: The bed as pictured (I am going to send warpath some pictures) has been modified from the base price by adding two additional...

Just wondering what others are going to do with the sleeper area of the 610's or any other sleeper cab for that matter. I have a single bunk and thinking about leaving it as is. Would like to put a small refrig back there and place to make coffee. Not sure where to put everything. I will...

On Truck paper www.truckpaper.com there is a new listing for 99 and 00 Volvo 610s with M11 Cummis and AUTOSHIFT. I called and they are comming in from a local trucking company that are swapping out their Volvos for lighter weight Freightliners. The 99s are in the high 400 thousand to high 500...

Does this forum have any rules about sharing information about "good buys" we may find as we are building our own. i.e. I found a good price on a 3000 watt prosine inverter and the guy has another one, is okay to bring this to the forums attention if my only reason is to share information? TIA...
