RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I went down to WV and picked up my Semi because i was just letting it waste away down there and figured it should be makin me money instead.

GRN96WS6 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Are tires still good on it after sitting so long? I can't imagine replacing all of them being cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Are tires still good on it after sitting so long? I can't imagine replacing all of them being cheap! I was surprised to find no problems so far...no cracks...no flat spots but I just put all new wheels and tires on it a few months before i parked it. I plan on replacing the steer tires before I put it on the road to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 SWEET! I'd love to have a semi like that. Not that I would need one, I just think it would be really cool to have. I wish I had a semi and a race car just chillin in some other state somewhere. What is that car, an old Plymouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 How does that work getting the contracts with yards to pull and deliver containers around the city? Yes, I just lease it on with Container Port or a similar company and they dispatch work to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my 69 Dodge Dart, it was bought new from Spitzer Dodge and has never been tagged, I still have the original title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS69 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Wow, that is interesting, I take it you are from WV? Was it hard to get road ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I finally got back to work on the truck yesterday. I am hoping to have it finished by middle of next week and ill put up some new pics this weekend. @RS69- I am from WV and so far I have had to inspect all the air lines, brakes, electrical etc and ive been really lucky that everything is still in great shape. I have a appointment in 2 weeks for a DOT inspection and ill see what they have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Painted by yourself? How much experience do you have with body work? I'd like to do something similar to my truck. Just need to pull/pound some dents out, sand it down, and hit it real quick. I don't need perfect, I need it to not rust. Looks good IMO.
