Today I was perusing the local Buy/Sell magizine and I see: "Army 2-Ton truck. 4x4, front and back winches, diesel, 5 speed with low/high range". :shock: I gave the guy a call and its' one of those "it belonged to Dad and we used it on the farm" stories. 8) He said it has a steel flatbed with...

When I found the Chemical Shelter trailers in a local boneyard I asked if they had any other MV's. :?: I was shown two CCKW's that had been Civil Defense vehicles. 8) The yard guy said they had been there at least nineteen years. They had surface rust and exposure damange. They can probably be...

I got one of the chemical shelter trailers back to my shop Thursday. I also got to do a lot closer check of the rest of them. Only two of them have everything listed in the TM (one of them I have here). The rest are missing the door unit and other various pieces. Most of what is missing was...

I am going to buy the $500.00 trailer. :D When I went back to get a better look at it I was told that there were also some other MV's (trucks and jeeps) and that I could go scrounging through the yard. 8) I ran across these CHEMICAL SHELTER TRAILERS out on the back forty. :shock: They...

While scrounging through a local bone yard I came across a brand new 1 1/2 ton military trailer. :shock: It was purchased from the manufacturer by a private party and never went to the government. 8) The owner never used it and it was purchased by the salvage yard at an auction. It is...

I was offered a deuce for $4000.00 today. :D I cranked it and it is a "whistler turbo". The engine sounds good with no clatter, knocks, or excess smoke. It has a soft top, winch, and needs paint. The wood on the side racks is shot. The rear tires are fair to good but the front ones are dished...

Anybody running propane or giggle juice (nox) on a deuce or 5-ton? Thought it might be helpful if you needed to pass a slower vehicle.

I have seen 915's on the GL website but they were usually FUBAR. I just wondered if anybody had one in operating condition. :?: I once had the dubious pleasure of convoying from Fort Benning, GA to Fort Irwin CA in a 915. They had the 400 Comeapart and Cat 15 speed automatic in them and we...

For those of us who just have to be different I submit the ultimate Military Vehicle RV. :shock: With a little modification this beast would be a hit at any MV show. 8) It goes up for sale the 8th of this month at GL in Montgomey, AL. And get this folks, THERE ARE 3 OF THEM!!! :D It says...

I am putting the finishing touches on my new 24x60 shop (Wreckerman's Skunk Works). :D I designed this building before I got bit by the MV bug and only put a 8x10 roll up door on one of the narrow ends (my office is at the other end). :shock: Will a duece go through a 8 foot wide door? Due to...

Howdy all. I am a newbie here but I love the site. :) I am posting this because it may save a great vehicle from the torch. :cry: I am located in NE Ala. and there is a gas burner 5-ton wrecker near me for sale. It may be a Studebaker. Here is the history of the truck as I know it: It was...
