Gary Lewis Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Gary, it's a 450. If it wasn't a diesel I'd say it has 5.56:1 rear. Remember, 450's have (oddball) ten lug wheels. The six new tires and brakes alone are worth $1,200. If you buy it, keep in mind the driveline. Diesel + Zf-5, means DMF or rattly mainshaft pocket bearings. 450 should have the massive solid beam drop axle up front. Keep the kingpins greased and you should never have wear or alignment problems. This one's early enough that it will have drum rears, so no parking brake on a 4x4 tailshaft. Hydroboost? Na, stupid vacuum pump. Wow, 5.56 gears - if gas powered. Tow anything. And I'd forgotten the 10-lug wheels. The ZF5 is worth something as well. Assuming it works nicely that truck would do Ray's job in its sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce moose4x4 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Ray, What size of axles are on your trailer? I would guess 3500lb or smaller. Some trailer manufactures use axle that don't have the four bolt flange out by the wheel hub to save money. You will need to look and see if your axles have them. Next you need to know what your wheel bolt pattern is to get the correct hub. NON Brake Trailers only have a hub no brake hub. So you will have to get 4 new wheel hubs of the correct bolt pattern for wheels. Here are some Oreilly's keep. https://rwd.firstcallonline.com/FirstCallOnline/product/details.html?po=DIRECT&pod=SEARCH_RESULTS_PART_TYPE&mfg=BB&partNumber=EB01-100&vid=14560&uuid= https://rwd.firstcallonline.com/FirstCallOnline/product/details.html?po=DIRECT&pod=SEARCH_RESULTS_PART_TYPE&mfg=BB&partNumber=EB01-105&vid=14560&uuid= https://rwd.firstcallonline.com/FirstCallOnline/product/details.html?po=DIRECT&pod=SEARCH_RESULTS_PART_TYPE&mfg=BB&partNumber=HD84546BX&vid=14560&uuid= These are for the common 3500lb axle. Just be sure to check wheel bolt pattern because my 16 foot trailer uses a bigger 5 on 5 pattern. All these links don't work Bruce. Thanks for the tip, I hadn't got that far yet. I am going to worry about the winch setup, and practice rolling some logs on and off the trailer. I will use the silverado for awhile. But if I find I need a better tow vehicle, at least I am getting educated on the F250 and up trucks. I really know very little about the heavy duty trucks. So this thread is a good mix match of knowledge. Sorry about that was using the garages page they use to look up parts.

Haven't checked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't checked though. Thanks Moose! Those worked. I havent pulled the wheels off the trailer yet. Tonight I will be working on the stove and trailer though. Im starting to fill my calendar for log retrieval already. Word is out locally that the weirdo with the sawmill is looking for logs. Im starting to get calls from people who dont want to pay a tree service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Ray, did you see this log hauler on FB this morning? Maybe it's just the snow on the roof but from my phone it look is like that one has the rear cab mount delete. Interested to know how they get the logs stacked like that on a slippery diamond plate bed before they throw the chain binders over. You'd think the truck would have small (and Beefy) stakes in each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think the truck would have small (and Beefy) stakes in each side. They must hammer some door stop like wedges under the outer logs until they're tied down? Then why not weld an L channel face down on each side? Unless it's used for other things at times. Or like I said, short stakes. They could even angle out to help get the load centered. But I am not a logger, and I'm sure they do things the most efficient way possible. (Except for Ray, of course... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
