5Tons on the Hi, To address the question about 5tons on the trail: We had the M819 (215" wheelbase) on the trails in 07'. There was no problem at all and those who attended the first rally can confirm. No trees were ever harmed either. I think the M813 would do fine. Thanks for the...

Hi and welcome to another MoPar Man! As stated, buy an MV from a private source.

Hi, I know Wolf.Dose will be there in spirit! I enjoy the pics you post of your offroad rallies. It would be really nice to see that M813 Lance. Do they allow crossbow up by you during bow season? Someones gotta bring some deer backstrap to eat... :drool:

Hey! Wow this year has flown by. I can't believe I forgot to start this year's event thread. Its getting closer to that time of year....Please consider attending the: 4th Annual Steel Soldiers Military Vehicle Rally at Rausch Creek Offroad Park October 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th. Just 25 min...

Hi, Congrats Man! Finally, hahaha... You certainly got a nice one. That would be neat to see it on the trails at Rausch Creek! Thanks for the pics.

Hey FDNY, I'm glad to see your enjoying your truck, it looks great. [thumbzup] I also say thank you and give you alot of credit for being the first to apply, making a good argument and winning. I will share this info with the other guys and we'll have a beach bivouc/convoy in the future...

Hi, Nice find! I like the bed and cab modifications!

Hi, Wow thank you RC4x4 for the info! Yeah I was guessing between 8-10,000lb. I'd love to see that load testing report when its scanned. I wouldn't want to lift more than 1,500lbs. off the side.... Thank you Bjorn for those pics and insight on materials. I like your fence attachment on...

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Man that was a nice truck! It'll be fun trying to find those sheave blocks etc. Those pics are very helpful. I'll probably just end up fabricating the stake pocket adaptors and the trunnion support and find similar sheaves... In terms of the chains used to...

More Pics Hi, Thank you for the tip RC4x4 and for the photos and bed info Bjorn. Yes the mounts that attach to the Deuce frame are riveted. As to decking I have a few choices...There are two traditional saw mills within a 10 mile radius of me so I was thinking either White Oak or Locust as...

Hi, Thank you DesertDeuce and Cranetruck for the dataplate and rear winch operation dataplate photos! I took some more detailed photos of mine and I noticed a difference between mine and Cranetrucks: Mine only has one pop-up sheave clevis offset in the center of the bed and Cranetruck's bed...

Hi, No the frame is not special... I am already have a decent M35A2 (the one I drove to pick it up) so I am deciding whether to convert my current deuce into a 756 or just buy sheetmetal, and engine/tranny etc. and complete this.... Have not decided..

Hi, Yeah no data plate... They weren't even sure it came with any sheetmetal when purchased many years ago... Oh I'm sure I'll need photos, thanks in advance! I have looked through many TMs that show the data plates for almost all the Deuce versions but I've never found a representation...

Hi, Thanks DD! When I was doing some research on the site I found your pics.... I am jealous, that thing is immaculate! I may ask for some detailed shots things in the future...is that ok? Thanks for the pics, the tail light and reflector boxes that attach under the bed are nearly rotted...

Hi, Yeah this thing had to be saved. I did not expect though to get some extras with the truck.... I also got: - the metal slats that clamp the wood decking to the bed, - the metal drop in headboard and metal drop in sides with troop seats. I am missing the tailgate but that can be...

Hi, There are a handful of forum members here with this unique version of Deuce and a half. Just by typing in "M756A2" in the search box gives a bunch of pics and details. I don't mind reiterating it here though. The M756A2 is a baby/mini-me oil field winch or boom truck. It can erect or...

Hi, Thanks it going to be a fun project. Angus that would be correct on the location. The tolls for the entire trip were almost as much as the fuel cost, haha. $150 in fuel $120 in tolls emr, you can go to your nearest pilot store or GA airport or go to David Clark: Headset Communication...

Hi, I want to first give a huge thanks to maddawg308 as he is the person who informed me of this forlorn M756A2 with the hope that this unique piece of equipment would be saved from the scrapheap. I kept putting off the recovery for over a year but it kept nagging me so I finally acted. I...

.....Hahaha at the time I didn't think about it much but yeah that is a funny picture!! Yes MACVSOG it was a great weekend. See you and Lex at aberdeen. Let me know when you arrive and we'll meet up. Here are some pics of the scout car in action. It is very easy to operate if your a person...

Shooting Demonstrations Hi, Thanks for looking. Here are some demo pics. Some even got to try out their rifle fired grenade launcher adaptors! I loved that Ithaca Police Special 12ga. :razz:
