    5 ton bed on a Deuce?

    It won't look all that different from the (already available) long bed types. Don't cut anything, just fit it, I think you will be pleased with the result.

    Need advice on a custom project

    Looks like a huge project you decided to invest time effort and money into. So ok there is absolutely nothing wrong at all in "going your own way" with it. Purists etc do not need to have a look in (let alone a say) So do what it looks like your planning to do. The way you want to do it. As you...

    War and peace 2015

    So we set off at 4 AM Friday morning, 17th July to get a clean unhindered run (as the motorway M20 was "stacked" with trucks that were hindered by migrants at the Dover crossing to the continent). In any event we were diverted by the police onto a smaller alternate road (A20) for the last 14...

    New deuce owner. Help me figure out what I've got

    Welcome to the site and the hobby. A good truck to work on and bring up to the spec you want. Agreed with the standard deuce comment. Check the layout of your trucks oil sump/s, and the position of the starter motor. (left or right side) Refer to the TMs And there you will have your recognition.

    Just picked up my M101A2

    Welcome to the site, (and now) A nice military "thing" would be great to tow and use that trailer with, and to make it feel at home. And give you (and the other half) a really involved hobby.

    M1009 Down

    Good post, very informative. Hopefully owners of these (types of) trucks will be carrying out some pressure washing and inspections. <safety rules>. But then so does self preservation.

    Welcome to the hobby. If you want something reliable and not to complicated to start with, try a nice condition deuce first. Thing is to have someone let you try one, talk about the ups and downs, same with a bigger unit. Good luck in your quest.
