Cut it in the middle and you can hide the quick link.

If it is a military M1009, M1008, M1028, etc the 8th digit on the VIN will be a "J".

Bought an M1009 from GSA that had been cannibalized after it broke down. Luckily I had all the parts that were missing. After I replaced the missing parts and troubleshot the breakdown problem to a bad fuel pump, the engine started right up. After it blew out some carbon buildup in the...

Look at the specs by clicking on the link below the NSN and it will give the length and width.

I put my 9 year old daughter behind the wheel of the deuce with it in 1st-low range. She drove it all over the back field and grinned like the Cheshire cat.

If I were to bob a deuce and leave it a 6 X 6, I would simply shorten the frame with a Z cut and weld it back. You will have to relocate the fuel tank, though.

Tomorrow morning 8:30 am Central time. Don't forget about Daylight savings time tonight.

I'm not surprised. They are loose a surprising amount of the time, too.

Dream on, kid. NYC is not a vehicle friendly place.

Did you replace the battery?

Welcome to the "I got screwed by GL Club". They are like ebay, they don't give a crap if they piss off 10,000 people because they have 10,000,000 more customers.

Look for Carnac's Deuce vin thread and post your deuce's vin there.

A Daihatsu CHARADE? Is it just pretending to be a car?
