Get a Benson and you can get an arch and a sag In the same POS trailer.
When I'm empty this Benson I pull has a 3" drop from trailer axle to trailer axle. From the fifth wheel to the front spread axle is only a 3" drop. Why? IDK but I can tell you that's exactly how mine looks with concentrated weight.

My western does that, hasn't broke in half yet but I'm putting no where near coil weight on it.Get a Benson and you can get an arch and a sag In the same POS trailer.

That's awesome! I was asking around to see if anyone needed help with a run, but I haven't heard much about anything local.

Congrats bud! I'm afraid to take a real vacation, I might like it, and then resent it's absence. My use or lose is spent doing farm work or helping friends/family.

C18, Cyclone machine ductile iron liners with C rings. 2-HX82's that were SmokingCat's idea so it's his fault if they don't work. It's basically snowballed into a giant hole I've shoveled money in since November. It should move under its own power tomorrow. Then it's off to get deckplate bent and a few stainless panels. Then hopefully it can hook to a trailer and get the piss ran out of it.
Lots of potential bugs with a complete truck build. Stripped down and frame blasted and painted, hood repaint, new exhaust, front and rear bumpers, Hoge radius fenders, engine swap with everything Cummins related burned at the stake. New aluminum 5th wheel, complete drum to disk brake swap. There are very few parts on this truck that you could order off the VIN anymore.
Not to mention lots of shiny stuff.

Impressive, how much are you going to work it? Is it a Sunday driver kinda truck. What do you think it will make power wise?C18, Cyclone machine ductile iron liners with C rings. 2-HX82's that were SmokingCat's idea so it's his fault if they don't work.

My usual couple loads a week. Don't know Power wise. Will find out in a few months. Similar C15 made 1100 so that should be easy enough.
