RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: No CDL/Antique plates- Driving to other Counter to popular belief, if one reads the pertinent military manuals, you will see that both regulation and law require that overweight/overwidth military vehicles be permitted and routed just as oversize commercial vehicles would...

Bjorn, I'd recommend dropping a PM to artillerydan on this website - he likely can answer this question. Were I at home, I probably could to. Sorry, no more help. Best wishes, David Doyle

The frame on the wrecker is also substantially beefier than that of the other trucks.

Yep, that is an Engineer's Contact Maintainence Truck - I believe that is the one that used to be owned by TacticalTruck. There are not many of these around, rather quickly the army learned the truck was overburdened, and began mounting this type of be on five tons instead. Best wishes, David Doyle

RE: Here is the pic The description indeed sounds like an Engineer's Contact Maintenance Truck. IIRC, the heaviest of all deuces, and as Kenny mentioned, on mt "to buy" list - but recently enough items have been knocked off this list may play money is shot. Best wishes, David

It is indeed a 1982. Hope this helps, David Doyle

Here is the pic Here you are (hope I have the size issue right - don't remember what the limits are. HTH, David Doyle

It might take a while - but the answer is yes - however, its merely an extra long wheel base cab and chassis (as used by the M36 and M292) - typical application was a basis for a engineer's contact maintance truck. HTH, David Doyle

The bridge weight classification of a vehicle deals with more than its gross weight, it also factors in the distribuition of the weight - thus taking the weight off of the data plate, converting it to tons, and rounding it, does not always work. I've got a couple of TMs that deal with this...

I have examined the resin machine guns made by Jon Shoop closely - until you pick them up, they are indistinguishable from the real thing - they even feed belted ammo. An absolutely perfect replica. Regards, David Doyle

I've not bought deuce canvas from Dave, but I have bought canvas for other vehicles from him, and I've been very satisfied with both the product and service. HTH, David Doyle

I've also done a book specifically on High Speed Tractors that has a lot of photos in it. I should be home this weekend, so I should be to email you a photo (and another fellow his GOER photos too). If you wanna buy a high speed tractor book - they are available various places on the net, or...

I am still amassing the info on some of this - and some of this info I have. When I get home (later this week) I'll see what I can find out for you. BTW, I got the CD - thank you very much! Thanks, David

Kenny is right. Originally the headlights were mounted on a separate plate which was in turn mounted to the front panel view 6 rubber-cushioned studs. High mounted lights were used on winch trucks, low mounted lights on non-winch trucks. I don't have my notes with me about the date of this...

The 1940-s GMC has a hood that opens much like that of a Reo, and even has removable side panels similiar to the Reo's. The 1950-s GMC (M135/M211 type) has a hood that does not have removable side panels (the edge of the hood turns down and runs all the way to the fenders). In the 1950s the...
