Welcome to the site Phillip....the love of the vehicles is what unites folks from around the world.
I also thank you and your country for the way our soldiers that did not make it home...
"Tank" was filmed at Fort Benning, GA. If you have seen the movie you will recoginze the MP station in the movie as the same one that is in use today.
Another movie filmed there was "We Were Soldiers"......you can't miss the jump towers in the background in the scene where they were loading...
That's why Hobbits live underground.
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
I got mine from Summit and got it installed yesterday......not as quiet as I thought it would be but is has a nice mellow sound....since it was a NA engine it was louder than the multi.
I will try to post pics.
The deuce is slow but they are steady.....figure it like this.....if (and this is a big if) you average 50 MPH you are going to cover 500 miles in 10 hours...that is a lot of real estate.....but after ten hours in a deuce you are going to be ready for a break...trust me....I towed a deuce with a...
I have a dropside deuce bed mounted on a Bolster Trailer.
The tongue is adjustable and it will haul a load. They are also about a foot or so lower than a deuce bed.

A certain Gooberment surplus auction site has so many they are selling them.
Dam big ones :shock:. That truck may have issues......looks like it needs a body lift kit.
Most people go with 395's max on a bobber.....I used 1100x20's on mine but only due to financial constraints.
You can get an offset that will raise the pintle hitch up and the trailer will be almost level.
I think I got mine for about 20-25 bucks.
Sorry...no pics
Hawkshaw.......where are you located??
I second the Dawn dish washing liquid...for some reason that stuff is slicker than owl snot, I use a 50/50 mix with water....I don't recommend anything petroleum based as a tire lube.
If you don't have a duckbill hammer you can use a dull mattock to break the bead. It doesn't have the mass of...

There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71 Blackbird (The Air Force/NASA super fast, highest flying reconnaissance jet, nicknamed, "The Sled"), but we were the fastest guys...
Looks like it was made by Oshkosh or FMC......cool rig.
Unless I needed that boom I would lose it and make a cargo truck out of it.
It prob has a PTO that could be used to power something else.
You can pull the M105 but will have no brakes....no prob for an F250 unless there is a big load in the trailer.
I pulled a Mobile Kitchen Trailer from Knoxville to Alabama with my son's F250 and had no prob.
You will need a pintle hitch to go in your receiver...you can get them at Tractor...
