Like any forum... only when you don't really need it. Been there with my old 80s camaro... local cop stopped my in hs to figure out what i was doing. he couldnt stop laughing when i explained it.

I was browsing yesterday and came across this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?94079-military-truck-cup-holders&highlight=cup+holder might help you out.

What did I do? I read this entire thread from post 1 to here. and saved some pictures along the way while formulating my ideas for what I want in my deuce.

Assuming you have the standard issue A2 multifuel in your truck, yep. I do not believe the A3's cat engine will be happy if you play with alternative fuels however. For the A2, you can either run on 100% of the following: Diesel, Kerosene, Jet Fuel, Waste or New Motor Oil and even Automatic...

And to answer your other question. Your truck will run on waste motor oil. So filter it through a pump system with 1 micron filters a couple of times to make sure the oil is clean, then add the oil to your fuel tank. The engine will run on it, burn it off as fuel and you don't have to dispose...

AHA! I thought the 280 was larger. I had looked at the 280 and the 109 as well as the expansible as options for a mobile shelter. Anything that is solid and can be converted to a room roughly 7x12 would be just fine. Some civillian rigs can be setup to have a side door and large loading ramp...

Thanks, ive already pushed this one to the back burner. It looks solid, but I'm looking a little closer to home now in hopes of finding something less risky.

That S280 looks awful small compared to what i thought it was! I've considered the M109 vans, if one turns up I may go for it. It was my original plan, but Ive kinda fallen for the ability to deliver the comm shelter to a location, and still have the truck available if needed. Plus, it would...

I'm aiming for the truck now. I can worry about the box later as it can either be something in the bed of the truck, or a trailer pulled by the truck. For this season I'm just hoping to get the truck and begin preps and testing its ability to get into "disaster areas". Obviously I'm hoping no...

Message Received. Widening search pattern. Anyone got some suggestions? I got the fever bad....

Yeah, Im a collector car guy myself. Run into that title issue before, my thought would be that if it is insured and tagged in another state that it might be possible to title easily in Okla. Thats why I put it in the iffy area, as I immediately took a step back on that. I hate red tape, so...

As the title says, I'm a noob with the Deuce Fever. I just hope this is the correct place to ask for such opinions. I'm looking for a multi-fuel turbo, that i can rely on. The use of multiple fuels will be mandatory at times. I'm aiming to set up a response vehicle for emergency...

Welcome from a fellow newbie just north of ya in Tulsa!

Excellent! I would love to come out to an event sometime!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I took a look at that S280 idea... not a bad solution! I think right now I'm going to aim for just getting a Deuce and seeing what to do from there. The idea of perhaps a trailer for the radio gear, leaving the truck as a truck for playing and hauling is...
