If you are only going to be a one time buyer from GL I would try to find a private seller locally. It takes a lot of time and effort to deal with them.
You also get instant gratification since you can drive your prize home.
There are a lot of good SS troops in your neck of the woods. You...
If it is an 800 series 5 ton the cab tubs are the same size...the 900 series cab was wider.
Are you going to put the cabs back to back and have "suicide doors" or do it another way?
Sounds like an interesting project.
There are several folks on this site that work their MV's like rented mules.
I have hauled several loads of scrap metal, dirt, gravel etc. in my deuce.
5 tons are probably better suited for your purpose since they carry more and are more heavy duty than a deuce.
You will need to find an...
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD.
As stated at the beginning of the thread you can run all kinds of stuff in a diesel engine....I run my Ford diesel Ranger on 50/50 diesel/veggie in the summer.

We had everything in the Motor Pool from...
Ok......I am not trying to be a dik here.......but it is called house paint for a reason.
Vehicles need tough paint ......I will go out on a limb here and say that if you ever get a bad fuel leak and diesel sprays all over the paint you are going to have some serious issues.
I see CARC...
Most automobile exhaust shops can't bend the big tubing used on the J-pipe.
I had a ell of a time getting a flanged pipe to go on the NA multi in the M275......I ended up using band clamps and flex pipe. I was installing a muffler on it so it was a custom job anyway.
I was watching a M1009 at Redstone last week and it sold for more than the last M916 I bought.:shock:
Unless you are going to buy a lot of stuff frome GL it is usually safer and more cost effective to buy one from a private owner. You pay more but you can preview and drive the vehicle and if...
Just in case you haven't had the pleasure of meeting SCSG-G4 (Mike from SC), he is the MKT guru around here.
If you have problems send him a PM...he is a great guy and has sources for all kinds of MKT stuff.
