    THE VOLVO...Ugly semi truck crawler hauler build thread

    hopefully I dont have to find out!!! The motor is pretty simple to work on. Everything really for that matter. Its all just big. I do know a few guys that own Semi trucks and worst case DEVEL on here is a big rig tow truck driver. Might turn my cheap wheelin trip into a spendy one...

    I havent got the numbers off the motor yet. There were a few different configurations. HP will be right around 300 and torque around the 800 mark. It should do what I need it to.....I hope. As for mileage I really dont know. All the interwebbin Ive done has resulted in a TON of old...

    Thank ya! Im really hoping this will save us some money. The plan is to sell my F350 and buy a cheap 1/2 ton truck to use for work. The f350 isnt paid for so that will eliminate a payment. Hopefully resulting in more wheeling trips. We will see.

    THE VOLVO...Ugly semi truck crawler hauler build thread

    I really didnt get many pics of it before it went under the knife. I mentioned the seats. They were bad. Both front seats were air ride, both were awful. The shocks were bad, air bags leaked, all the hinges were worn on the bases SO.....they just got yanked and thrown away. Everyone Ive...
