There are truck washes in the desert (Iraq). We were required to spray down our vehicles atleast once a week before dispatching.
It looks like the door is painted tan, very indigative of an NTC vehicle. Also, the door is to thin to be uparmoured, those things are thick!! :) I think it's NTC...
your missing part would be the voltage regulator for the 25 amp generator. The cannon plug that behind your ether cannister used to plug into the 25 amp regulator. Sometime in the trucks history, the 60 amp conversion was installed, hence the cable running from said cannon plug to your 60 amp...
Jon,
They came out around Vietnam, i think, and are still used today in small numbers. I had an NBC / CBR storage room full of the bottles with nitrogen cartrages. Thgis was beofre my unit deployed from new orleans to Iraq, no telling where those 100 something bottles went after Katrina had...
another way to zero in on the year of manufacture.. some dueces i looked at sitting around the motorpool have a contract number on the data plate.. some are long.. some are short.. but one thing they all had in common was to numbers in the group seperated by hyphens.. for example...

Seeing that your truck has the Generotor to Altenator cable running along side the engine head, that is where the 25 Amp voltage regulator bolted to the fire wall. Think about how long it's been since your engine compartment was painted.
Ken,
A little paint, some tires.. it'll look good as new rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl .. I could really use that cab off the pipe line truck, looks in better condition that mine ;) One word, the truck looks like a money pit.. The truck looks like it's been sitting submerged in the south...
The STE/ICE has been superceded by the MSD ( forgot the meaning ). The MSD is a rugged laptop that does everything the STE/ICE can do plus be able to read and troubleshoot the newer vehicles with computer controlled engine systems, ie. CAT. The computer runs about 10K by itself and has an...
5200 Locks aren't that tough. they'll take a lot of abuse from chisels, hammers, and bolt cutters, but give me an F wrench and a 18 in pry bar and that locks off in 5 secs. i was always the master key in the motor pool when some stupid Joe lost the key for the his vehicle
There's always painting the start button the same color as the dsash. It had me fooled for like 5 min once when i jumped in a duece after not driving one for 5 yrs. everything on the dash was green.. i had to remeber where the start button was, and being green didn't help me remeber. I keep...
