New Cat Hauler

[Packrat]

Good Morning,
Thought you all would like to see my new Cat hauler. My requirements were:
1) Somewhat unique
2) Cheap
3) Cat power
Been dickerin' for a year and finally closed the deal Friday and drove her home. Hopefully I'll post an "after" picture in a year.

Good looking old truck. Can't see the pump all that well. Is that an "A" or "B" model 3406?


I see now. Its a "B". Does it have jakes?

[Packrat]

No Jake. I've got a lot to learn about the engine. There's only 260k miles on it and it sounds good. I need to find out what is involved in adding a Jake.

I have installed quite a few Jakes on them at the Cat dealer years ago and it,s not too complicated so just go by the instructions.

I didnt know they put Cats in Generals, I've only ever seen Cummins and Detroits in them. Nice truck!

I have to imagine that insurance is a bit hefty for that combo..but wouldnt drive/much less haul without it! nice rig

If you historic tag it insurance is not that bad on a road tractor. I just went through it. I am trying to post some pics but the wifes laptop is not coperating. If anyone needs the broker I went through send me a pm.

For antique trucks check with gulfway insurance in florida. You will be pleased with their prices and it allows you to pull your trailers and haul your toys to shows. I had my 69 white 9000 antique plated and insured with them for under $400 per year, including my 72 lowboy trailers coverages.

I'll second what Kansas Cat said.

I have a 1983 Peterbilt, 1969 Freightliner and 1942 Trailmobile insured through Gulfway for right at $400.00 per year. I can drive, tow and haul anything I want, as long as its not for commercial purposes.

The policy is a Traveler Insurance Company policy, a quality company with whom you will not have a problem if there is a claim.

I called them based upon Orrin's recommendation. They were easy to deal with, just needing a description of the equipment, normal basic information and emailed pictures.

They are the bees knees as far as I am concerned.

Tom I never saw but one Cat truck engine in a Mack and it came into the Cat dealer for me to repair. There could have been more put in but as I said that was the first and only one I ever saw in a Mack.I guess if you order and pay the price you can get what you want in a truck.
