Great post, I think that's an excellent idea, pics of the 37's earning their keep.
Bill, I think you hit the image "tab" or the url "tab", not necessary any more, simply cut & paste.
I hope you don't mind, I nic'ed a pic of yours for the demo, nice hand held trouble lamp, too!

Here's your photo. The Web Shots program has a very cumberson method for linking your photos to a forum. I use MyPicGallery.com and it is much simpler to share and link photos there. When you have your Web Shot Photo showing that you wish to link then just at the lower right edge of the photo you will see a green/white bar with download in white letters. Just to the left you'll see several icons. the second one to the left of the green/white bar is the one you click on. You'll see a small copy of your photo there in a large white box. At the top you can check what size you want to post (the photo below is 425 pixels). Then use the bottom selection "Post in a forum" and click on the URL in the small window. It will turn all blue. Now right click on the blue link and click copy. Now go to this page of the G741 and in the "Post a reply" dialog box right click and then click on paste. Now the link to your photo is in the box and when you submit your post it will show up in the post.

I haven't hauled many loads in my truck, but I did use it to flip over a 1700lb concrete 5 step and landing that was behind my house. I needed it moved and flipped over in order to smash it. I drilled a hole into the step, put a 3/4" bolt though it, hooked a chain onto the truck, put it in low range, and presto! Step was flipped and dragged across the lawn to where I needed it. Sorry, no pics! Love using the truck as a work horse!

I was using the method you described to link to Webshots but I was installing it between the Img link above. Thanks for the tip.

OMG that is just plain abuse !!!

Here is a load of Cubs...

1800kg or 1.8 tons that was the max I've loaded in my truck.
I've loaded 1 cubic meter of stones (1.4 ton) plus 8 bags of 50kg of concrete.
The rear was sitting down some 4 or 5" but the truck handled it very well.
I took it easy in the beginning of the trip but after a while I was tired of going 80km/h (50mph) on the highway so I've ended up doing some 120km/h (75mph).
It braked straight, and I mean a lot better than empty. The diesel engine really moved the thing easily.
I'm still using the same rear springs and shocks 10 years after.

Okay i found this picture on the net,looks pretty much loaded up to me,and double wheels at the back...dont know how fast you would go with the doubles on the back though...

That is a very interesting picture. The M is being shipped to Africa to go to the sight of the crash of the "Lady Be Good" a B24 that over flew their home base and crashed in the middle of the desert. Years later it was found nearly complete and all but on of the crews bodies was found. Here is a link to a quick article.

Today was the day, and one pallet of redi-mix was moved the 4 miles. 42, 80 pound bags which comes out to 3,360 pounds not counting both of us. Drove fine and I even forgot and did my second gear start once and it still pulled away from a light. I did take it slow (maybe 40mph) as I knew my stopping distance was increased. After these pics I put a pair of 5 ton house jacks under the frame to unload the springs a bit.

Nice job !! Doesn't look any lower than a Vietnam era guntruck !!! The jacks are a good idea too.
