They only leave you with one winch, or are they in the box? That tooth pick could be useful if you get in a bind. Ask Becky if you can keep it

These are the standard for Western Star/Freightliner. To bad your not closer in this case,
because we run crash bars mounted in tow hook receptacle we have scads laying in a
pile.

That looks like what we need. I was hoping they would be in one of the toolboxes, or on a frame rail holder, but no luck.

Got a couple winches, but we pretty much chain every thing down.

I haven't tried Becky.

Is this the same Becky?

I had trouble finding tow hooks for our IHI 9200. Had to fabricate some myself. Used large ‘d’ rings welded to heavy plate and square stock. Seems
Our local (now sadly gone) heavy truck wrecking yard had sold all..

I think I have one or two for a 90's 9200

If only @Coaldust would have warned me -she's everywhere.

That's the problem with Fat Becky. Just when you think she's the solution for all your problems, she becomes the reason for all your problems.

It seems 385’s on our old international dump with dual steering boxes do allow a better ‘float’ over soft ground. Although (on this truck with walking beams) the steering radius does seem quite bad…)

Western star was built originally near us here in Kelowna.

Looks like a good solid rig!

Good luck with it!

Minus jakes, back then jakes were installed just ahead of engine installation, jakes were a option.
Jakes come as standard equipment now.

I was wondering if that was my Becky. She gets around.

 

[Coaldust]

This is why we can’t have nice things. Now, I have to go to the pawn shops and purchase my moose lamps back. Darn hooligans.

Well the positive side, it's not all negative, they left some wire. Believe it or not
crime is still capitalistic behavior, what's yours is mine and mine is mine.

They must be left handed and blind in one eye. They only took the right side lights. Maybe the left side is for tomorrow.
