Went on a 600 mile hot shot run for another enthusiast to bring back a W300 motorhome for him. I've logged about 11,000 miles on the big yellow power wagon since I got it running last June. Making 2 runs up to Montana sure helped. It's nice having a truck that's a driver :-)

Very nice truck, like it more every time I see it. 2 trips to Montana, very cool...I happen to live here!

GWW, the rear end is a '01 F350 Dana 80 with 5:38 gears. GMC Dana 60 upfront. That's why I went with the 10 lug wheels cuz the GMC axle is standard bolt pattern and Ford is metric. The 8-10 lug adapters are how I got the same bolt pattern all around.

66, my mom lives in Seeley Lake, Mt. Very nice up there in western Montana.

I'd bet you got a question or two every time you fuelled up!

Folks get plenty of time to look at it cuz it ain't very fast when loaded down. But it will fly in double overdrive when empty. It cruises 75 mph at 1,800 rpm. When towing it's a different story, with the travel trailer and razor the GCVW is 25,000 lbs. On the 7% grades it climbs about 19 mph. 4% grades it's about 29 mph and on the flats about 63 mph at 2,150 rpm.

Are you running an engine brake?

10-4 The Pac Brake works really well too. Also helps the I already have a on board air compressor.

Lookin' good Mike! Judging by the ebay ad I saw the enthusiast got a smokin' deal on that W camper!

A lot of work and money required to get that smoking deal up and going!
