Bob86ZZ4 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is a beautiful build. I've seen it. Seller is a real stand-up guy too. Looks pretty well priced to me. http://www.racingjunk.com/Class-8-Truck-Conversions/182618640/2003-International-HD-Jeep-Hauler-5th-Wheel-Tow-Vehicl.html '03 United Specialties truck conversion, Freightliner FL112, Cat C12, 10 sp Autoshift, 295" w/b, 26' living quarters.

sdixon747 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's Jay Sevigny's rig. It's a nice setup and has been well taken care of.

SuiteSuccess Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 As Steve says Jay Sevigny's truck. Bed was built by Waylon Long (2L Custom Trucks) and modified by JW Morgan. Sad to see Bluenoser (Jay) is selling.

rickeieio Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 While I would stop short of saying that's a smokin' deal, the price is very attractive. You can't buy a good truck and convert it for what he's asking. Someone who's on the fence should grab this one.

Broncohauler Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is the 2nd truck I herd JW worked on after being built by 2 L. Was it a up grade or a fabrication problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 This is the 2nd truck I herd JW worked on after being built by 2 L. Was it a up grade or a fabrication problem? Combination of both. JW first got it because Jay dropped his trailer out of his hitch and it rode for a while suspended from the back plate of the bed. JW repaired that and as a tribute to the fab, the back plate held the trailer from separating from the truck for couple hundred miles. He also modified the side panels for access and beefed it up a bit if I recall. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

oscarvan Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Darn, I could put my series Land Rover on the back....... however, that would put me at 80 (EIGHTY) feet LOA...... there's a few places we go I would NOT get in to.... (Barely get in to them with my one ton dually.) Whatever I get will have to be a short nosed, short singled beast.

Chad Heiser Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wondered what happened to Bluenoser. He used to be regular here, but I hadn't seen anything from him in a long time.

GoldRush Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Didnt he have a bunch of maintenance issues with his truck? I maybe incorrect but I thought he ran into a bunch of expensive problems a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Didnt he have a bunch of maintenance issues with his truck? I maybe incorrect but I thought he ran into a bunch of expensive problems a few years ago? He did while in or going to Canada. Was his Freedomline transmission. To my knowledge they were all corrected. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

rickeieio Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I believe his problems were a mis-diagnosed oil leak, from the tranny. Many shops and $$$$ later, someone knew what it took to fix correctly.

GoldRush Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 That all sounds correct. I remember there being quite a few shops involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
