Thanks for the comment. I was at the DOT auction lot today and looked at some of the trucks. Most are short enough wheel base but not too short so that I think they could go either way without a WB modification.

Are the protection valves and johnny bar a major project or just a little more complicated than other trailer hookups?

I didn"t look the trucks over real close but from what I have seen at these sales over the years I think there may be some better at another sale. The main reason I want to go this route is my dad and I have had real good luck with the pickups we have bought there. The one I am driving now is the third and I am pretty sure the fourth will be purchased at this sale. The one I am driving has nearlly 200k on it and mechanically I would be comfortable driving it anywhere in the nation. The body not so much. These trucks are fleet maintained and since they are using taxpayer dollars if something needs fixing it is fixed even if it is going on the block soon and if it isn"t fixed they tell you what is up. That mostly goes for the State trucks. The stuff on the sale from other entities is another story.

There is always the possibility that when sale time comes I may very well be blown out of the water on the bigger stuff but I at least expect to come home with a 1/2 t pickup.
