truck hauling
My gooseneck has treadplate ramps and a built in winch, so I can self load and unload as long as it rolls, but as I told you privately I can only carry one at a time.
Derek Taylor
It does currently still have the axles and chunks in it, but I do plan on removing them to use as spare parts and to remove weight and to free up movement. It pulls great and tracks pretty much in line with the truck. Since the tires interchange, you have tons of spares.
I have never titled...
From what i understand you do need a CDL to drive a 5-ton, but not a 2 1/2-ton truck. The 2 1/2-ton Deuce trucks only weigh around 13,000# and are rated for a 5,000# payload, so they total out to 18,000# max, which is well under the 26,000# CDL limit. They also only have one fuel tank and are...
Deuce trailer
Here are some pics of mine. I used it to carry Deuce parts to rallies. I used a M105 front end. The spare tire makes a great step for climbing up into the trailer, so great that I added another on the passengers side. One thing I learned from experience at the GA rally, add a...
Another welcome from Ringgold, GA. I have over two dozen trucks and nearly as many trailers in stock up here, so you can look at a good variety of stuff. I have project trucks or trucks ready to drive out the gate. I also have tons of parts from trucks we had to cut up. Come up and see us...
"PS I think he said this had a Cummings 250(?) engine. He did say that it was so fast that it would scare you."
I am sure that this was meant as a joke. Since you were on the telephone, you couldn't see him smiling.

Contact member Mark3395. He lives in Illinois and is all the time picking up stuff at Redstone and Warner Robbins. He might be able to pick it up and bring it up with a truck he bought.

I am glad that he is trying to promote these old military trucks. The more people that find out about them, the more they will become normalized and the less hassle we will have to put up with.
Also, the more people that find out about them, the more potential buyers I have.
Mark is a...
I would do it if I had to. You do what you have to do to get the job done. I think the key to doing these relatively risky/dangerous things safely is to makes slow changes. You won't have to worry about accelerating too fast, that won't be a problem. Just go slow and allow plenty of room for...
trailer split
I had something come up and missed the auction. I might be able to assist with recovery and possibly delivery in exchange for trailers.

rare Deuces
Not a particular model, but I have only seen a few Deuces made by Curtis-Wright. I bid on them and wish I had gone higher now. I do have a Reo M109 and a 1962 Studebaker-Packard. If I am not mistaken, the Study was the first make and year for the multi-fuel motor.
Not that it...
"Guys - if you want to know who you are dealing with - go to the HOME web site for the
corporation that owns GL Look at the name and the photo of the "3rd partner" - then ask your self why this company is based in Wash. DC And where the real money is coming from "
I went to the link, after...

And just think, there a quite a few people out there that want the Government to run Health care...:roll: "
Just because it says "Government" in their name and they are located on bases does not mean that they are part of the...
I am in north GA and am trying to ramp up into a nice truck and parts yard. I currently have around two dozen trucks and have storage trailers for seperating out the parts from trucks we cut up. Stop by if you ever come up through Chattanooga.
I do technically have a website, but have not...
problem
I had what I think is the same problem on one of the first Deuces I ever bought. I got it home and it drove great. I pulled it into a parking space and the next time I went to drive it it wouldn't back up. It was just like you said, you let out on the clutch to back up and it would...
cheap hard tops
There was a guy on here just a few days ago that said he found a whole bunch of trucks that were about to be scrapped. I think he was in MO. He said he could get all of the tops for $200 each. That is more my style, or lack thereof.

Mark,
I have been talking to M16TY about helping me with the stuff I have there at Fort Campbell. He said he is about 30 miles south of it. He said he has plenty of room and would be happy to let me store stuff there, even if he is not there.
I will be going to Fort Campbell soon to...
I took and copied the non-export disclaimer and put it on my letterhead and every time I sell a EUC item I have them sign it and put it with their paperwork.
Derek Taylor
Ty said he was covered up for the next couple of weeks, which is exactly how long I have to get those trailers out of there. He was kind enough to offer to let me store them offbase at his place if I needed to.
I am really hoping the M818 I am picking up Monday at Redstone works. Fingers...
