    to me, it dosent look like a mk6 from the inside, a std mk 1. but look at the turret. that is a turret from a ferret with the missle mounts on the side. it also has a browning mount in the turret, you can tell by the round hole in the front of the mount. for $1000, GRAB IT! as far as moving it...

    5 ton finally got a bed

    I have seen several different variations on 4 door cabs on deuces, 5 tons, etc. Actually yours is one that inspired me to build this truck i am doing now. The goal is to keep it as military looking as possible. If the military were to build a truck like this, this is what they would build. I am...

    Frame size?

    my bridge truck has a section of frame through the middle that is 12 inches tall, it is riveted to the original 9 inch tall frame, factory. was told this is because of the extra long wheel base.

    sprage in my 5 ton bridge truck

    Ok, I need someone to clarify the way the front axle engagement is supposed to work in my 1954 5 ton bridge truck. does it only work in 1st and reverse? or should it work in ANY gear? I am not sure it is working properly at all, i may be imagining it, but it seemed to only work in first when i...

    5 ton doing donuts, question about sprage transfer case

    Well, after watching the video of the deuce doing donuts in the snow the other day, i just had to do it myself in my bridge truck. I have the 16x20 tires on it singled out so i wasn't sure that it would even spin the tires in the snow. it snowed about 4-6 inches of real powdery snow last night...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    plan? you have to have a plan to stretch a cab? I figures I would attach a big chain to the rear of the cab and the other end to a tree , slam the transfer case in low and ease out on the clutch and see what happens. actually i have a donor cab with doors, going to join the two cabs together on...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    yeah the wheels are custom wheels, the fronts are dish out and are at the right width in the rear. the fronts are mounted to allow the narrowest possible way, the other way would moput almost the entire whelel outside the fender! I will have to take the hubs apart, might as well serive the...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    the front is now 108 out sodes of the tires, the rear is much about 101 now, it was 115 with the 14.00's on it. I plan on using it to pull a trailer to ahul my ferret around with. I love driving the ferret around, but the longer trips sure would be nicer with a truck and trailer. plus I can put...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    I gotta figure out how to get the spacers out. I assume i need to take the hubs apart? need new studs? anyone know? I will definitely be taking them out of the front, not sure about the rear. have to see how much the tires stick out of the sides with the bed on. and you were right, i do notice...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    the grill is that way (for now) because the radiator is back in there. the Detroit engine is so long that the radiator would not fit under the hood, so it was put outside the factory location. i am going to extend the front end out to make it appear a bit more militaryish and stock ish looking...

    Bridge truck on 53's

    truck already has a 6-71 detroit in it and with the 14.00 it was top speed around 70ish or so, with the 16.00 it should have a bit more, as if i want more! it will also have a/c in the cab, an onboard generator that starts remotely, it will run the a/c. i will keep it a soft top as all military...
