Hey Matt, maybe there needs to be an organized field trip to this place sometime in the next couple of weeks. What do you think?

It's a dirty job... but somebody has to do it!

Software development and SQA is ruling my life right now... . so it may be a while until I can get over there at a reasonable hour. Such is life... .

HH, When you get there see if he has additional printed information. We need to know what $$$ are needed & what is available in the accessory dpeartment. Can the conversion be done by us? What do they do with the left over parts? What parts do they use? Can I put on a 60' walkin? Can I put a 8' bed behind either? Oo.

I'll see what I can dig up...

That would be cool to build one from a 3500 and extend the frame and add another rear to have tandem axles and then put a big 5th wheel on the back. Maybe thats what Ill do when the body of my truck falls apart since Im keeping it forever now (they ruined the new ones!! Theyre too dang quiet!!!!!!I'll never buy one!!!!!!!!!!)

Wirenut,



Think air tag axle! This could be your second axle. Then think of the rear chrome all the way across with LED lights & mini DODGE RAM mud flaps in lights. You could box in the rear with stainless, then cover all your bolts with chrome covers. I'm not sure about a greasy 5th wheel but a greasless Plate Mate might due.

Just some thoughts that I'm considering.

This could be better than I thought!

So, is there any new news on this place, this thread seems to have died. I hope none of you have lost interest in converting.

Hi Scott,

The last I heard, Holeshot Holset was going to pay a visit to the plant. I emailed him again to ask for a specific W900 conversion. I tried a call into them but I was to late to reach anybody. Lets hope HH will have better luck. I understand he lives very close to the plant.

Thats the latest.

I'll see if maybe sometime in the near future I can arrange a visit... .

[HoleshotHolset]
