We've converted portions of a semi-trailer as living quarters, but the customer used his personal truck tractor to haul it around to tractor pulling events. A double drop (furniture van) is ideal for this. However, you are looking for something custom (unless you plan to do the conversion...

Jet A is over $1 per gallon more than diesel - at least here in PA. I am curious as to why you'd want to use that in your truck?

You better know what you're doing! Ask someone who has experience applying large sheets of vinyl - it is not as easy as the directions make it seem.

Doc, I think you are misunderstanding what geofkaye is talking about. These "new" tires are to replace dual tires on one side. I've NEVER seen a "utility" trailer with duallys - (translated 4 tires per axle). Super Singles replace 4 tires per axle to 2 tires per axle and are mostly used to...

We've done this type of conversion in the past. See: http://photos.transportdesigns.com/v/LivingQuarter/Kentucky . It was a 53ft double drop deck Kentucky semi trailer. We stripped the interior wall liner and converted the front 12ft "attic" plus an additional 4ft of the cargo deck by extending...

"Rolled it softly" hmmm - like driving it slowly up the side of mountain? Still - from the look of the interior - there has to be structural damage. Although - for the price... you might buy it, fix it up with plywood, put a wooden rocker on the roof and get a cameo on the next Beverly...

ACV: Actual Cash Value Seems like a lot for a roll over. Good project vehicle for a 40 something with time on his hands as he'll have it ready for retirement at 65. A salvage title follows a vehicle wherever it goes. It is an exclamation point if you try to resell it. I'd like to see who buys...

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot get a new truck tractor with super singles. Late in 2007 I had a customer attempt to purchase a new cab and chassis from PACCAR (Kenworth & Peterbilt). They cited a maintenance issue with the single rear tires. However, reports show that the super single...

Why?

Delamination of fiberglass from the substrate is a problem that has occurred ever since the product was developed and used extensively in the early 90's. Back then you'd se 40% (or more) of the semi trailers on the road using this design for their sidewalls. You'll notice it isn't used any...

I can understand the problems you are having with the 3M tape. We've used it for many years and have great success, but occasionally you have an area that will "pop". (I'd like to know who Trucker Willie is as I am unaware with anyone calling me and getting no satisfaction with this or any other...

Owen, If you are building it yourself, I'd recommend taking your profile (I assume you are writing about the vertical or horizontal radii) to a sheetmetal shop and having them custom form it for you. You can then wrap painted aluminum or stainless steel as an overlay. Hope this helps

Dear caddtech, My suggestion would be to stay away from the low horsepower truck. We built on chassis with that engine in the 90's. They went up for sale when the higher horsepower engines became more readily available earlier this decade. If you want a day cab they are fine, but installing a...

Hi Bill, I am glad to see that this site is back up. Over the years I've read some of the articles with interest and replied only rarely. It seems that there were (an likely still are) a number of members representing manufacturers hiding "behind the curtains". I for one want to put everything...
