The dump truck had to go in for its yearly NYS inspection, so we made a ridealong video. Editing is a little choppy where I cut out the 3 minutes of warming the truck up -- first time using avidemux under Linux.
The truck is rated for 23,000# GVW, runs 8.25x20 rubber on original split rims, no power steering (by design!), Ford FT 391 gasoline V8, 4-speed transmission (unsynchronized first) with 2-speed electric shift rear end, and vacuum boosted hydraulic drum brakes. The parking brake is a driveshaft type drum, and does still work, though it won't keep you from moving in 1L or 2L.
And yes, we did pass inspection!
