    We'll I got my "new" trailer home. It's a M1000 tank transporter that I'm going to use for big loads. Bought it government surplus, needing a little TLC. Just spent $1,000 in tires and another $1,000 in hydraulic hoses. I suspect it will take a few more thousands before it is road ready, but I got it worth the money.

    Going to pull it with a 1985 Mack RD822sx. E9 Mack engine, 12 speed Mack trans, 20K front, 65K rears. I've got a Fuller AT1202 auxiliary sitting in the shop floor that I'm going to shoehorn into the driveline.

    About 3 weeks ago I saw about 10-15 of those being hauled westbound I-80 between Winnemucca and Reno. Was one of those yours?

    You going to have to change the fifthwheel to the one from a M1070 or will what you have work? I thought the M1000 had a bigger KP than usual and the steering wedge.

    Yes, it has the big kingpin with steering wedge. I do have a 5th wheel coming off of a M1070 from a surplus dealer.

    I actually just saw 4 of these moving southbound I35 in Austin tonight.

    I’m jealous of the truck, it looks great.
