    Hello from lake charles la

    Welcome aboard. With that flapper exhaust stack, I believe it is an Air Force Deuce. I understand that they aren't beat up as bad in general as the army trucks. I have one similar to that one (VIN is only 8 digits away) and it is in great shape and well maintained. Doug

    Letter from Defense Logistics Agency

    I've had 5 EUCs approved, and picked up 4 of the lots, but only received one DLA letter. But then, I live so far out in the boonies, we just got word that Truman won the election.

    Any tow bars available rent/buy So.TX/LA/MS?

    I think I've got one lined up to borrow, but I probably eventually need to buy one. Thanks to all.

    SuperTech 85-140W GL-5

    Probably the base oil for most of the brands are made by one or other of the big guys, but it is the additive packages that are different. It's good to know the Walmart brand is also compatible. I've been checking out the different sources of GL-5 and called the technical folks for the...

    Hello, Noob here in North Dakota

    Welcome fellow Noobe. I think you're just in time, the way the Gov't. is dumping deuces now.

    Any tow bars available rent/buy So.TX/LA/MS?

    A DCM/CMP field grade would be a roughly equal value of around $550 with shipping or taxes. Unfortunately, I don't have any field grades.:cry:

    Any tow bars available rent/buy So.TX/LA/MS?

    I have been bitten bad by the Deuce bug. I'm waiting on EUCs for trucks waiting at Shelby and Redstone. Does anyone have a tow bar I can rent or buy from Houston to Mobile to Jackson,MS? I live north of Baton Rouge and travel frequently along the Gulf Coast from Houston to Laurel, MS. I'm...

    Filter Change...Story included

    Did the double gasket deal on my wife's Toyota truck about 25 years ago. When the red light came one, my wife thought she could reach the next exit on the interstate. She didn't make it, and a rebuilt engine cost me $1200 in 1985 dollars. That was her first day on the new job, too. She...

    Redstone Deuces - 2 questions

    I previewed them (this was Camp Shelby, not Redstone). Flipped the switch, and if the air buzzer worked, I got in and pushed the starter. Only 2 of the 10 or so I checked out actually started. Several didn't even buzz. At Shelby, you can only preview with an appointment, and the GL person...

    Redstone Deuces - 2 questions

    They finally called me back, and my two trucks are on site. Now just waiting on EUC approval. I also just won two M109 and one M35a2 trucks at Shelby today. Maybe I can use one of them to tow my two Redestone deuces home. One of them starts and has good brake pedal pressure, the others...

    Redstone Deuces - 2 questions

    I'm frustrated looking for options to get mine home I'm a new member, but been lurking as a guest since I read Sarge's Katrina story several years ago. Sarge, You're just a good man, and the drinks are on me when we meet.:beer: Anyway, I won my first two deuces last week - 4107/3547 and...

    Beauregard Recovery

    Nope, always low bidder so far. There seem to be a lot of trucks in the lot with no lot numbers assigned yet, so I'm hoping I'll get lucky someday if they don't ship them to Redstone.

    Beauregard Recovery

    Donnie, I think I saw your truck sitting outside the fence when I was there a couple of weeks ago. It was really nice looking. Congrats, Doug

    First EUC, the wait is killing me

    My first EUC Auction ended 2/26 Submitted EUC with B&W DL copy on 2/27 by email to eucinfo@govliquidation.com Didn't hear anything, so on 5th day (3/4), got on GL chat to find status - they couldn't find it, so forwarded email directly to Heidi (lovely lady), who forwarded it onto the EUC...

    105 recovery

    BKubu, I also just won a M105 trailer, and today bought a 10-ton Reese pintle hook from Tractor Supply. I've heard of some folks here not having their trailer ring fit their hook. Is the 15-ton hook larger, or is the 10-ton hook OK?

    Another sucessful recovery (2 M35s) with lessons learned

    Nice trucks. I wish I had a deuce when I was at VaTech 40 years ago. Those dirt mountain roads still call to me. Would have made a great party truck, too. Nice trucks! Old Hokie in LA
