    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today I made up this template for a dash switch panel I'll be cutting out of some left over diamond plate from an old truck box. I'll paint it in 383 before its mounted.

    Tire options and where to buy

    Hey Fuzzy! Not to dig up an old thread, but I tried sending you a message here and it won't work. Still in the business? I'm looking to make a purchase of some 395s. Let me know, I'd like to talk with you about it.

    Hey all! So I've been lurking on the forum for some time... always looking for an excuse to buy a 5 ton. Well, I finally found one! And then I found this m931a2 to fit the bill. She's a 2012 recon, first owner got her and an m929 from the auction in Michigan in 2013 and drove them back to VT...

    Reporting for duty from Western Massachusetts

    Hey all - I'm brand new to the forum. Never lurked, just up and joined when I was redirected here when I was looking up info on M35s. Great site and I hope you all can help me with my path to Deuce heaven and maybe one day I can return the favor to someone else. I currently have a '78 Jeep...
