Welcome to the group, from north Alabama! You came to the right place. There are folks on here that know every bolt on these trucks, and are happy to help if you need it. We also LOVE pictures, so please do post some. I'm interested in how you plan to hook up your hydraulic winch. Mine doesn't...

I wonder how much that prototype cost? Apparently they weren't up to the task of "replacing the Army tank". 🤣

Welcome to the forum! Glad you're here.

I am not a 5 ton expert by any means, but I see a lot of work needed and a lot of potential. Apparently it has been sitting for a while. Do you know anything about its past? Also, Ken: "nope ropes"? 🤣 first time I've heard em called that. I'm gonna use it.

Wow, a Commodore 64! I miss those old games. I sold my Atari 2600 in 1989 for $75. 😳 who knew?

Hello and welcome to the forum! Looks like wiser heads than mine have already answered your question. I will add my opinion, for what its worth. The problems that you describe are all fixable, with money and time (plus a lot of work). I wouldn't call that truck a total lost cause, but it is not...

Good deal, congrats. Hagerty has treated me right so far.

I haven't been inside my TC yet. But while the access panels are off it's a good time to check the bolts on the Jack shaft. Mine had two loose bolts and one missing bolt.

Wow yall are making great progress! And those pictures look great too. Gotta love that Louisiana weather. Shorts in January! 🤣 it's 34 degrees here. Keep up the good work.

I have a friend who is considering one of these for his landscaping business. Would it be appropriate for hauling dirt and grading on 1-2 acre lots, or is it overkill? He has a skid steer, but sometimes needs a little more power. And I'm trying to spread the "green disease" 🤣

You will need a 13/16" Budd socket. Might find one at Oreilleys, definitely at a parts store that caters to semi trucks Edit: online they are listed at Home depot and Lowe's.

It looks like a lot of truck for the price. Drive it before you buy it, for sure. Daily driving a deuce of any sort will get expensive maintenance-wise in a hurry. It can be done, though. Good luck!

Yes, what Frank said. Driver's side studs are reverse thread.

Welcome back, to the forum and to the Deuce club. That looks like a pretty solid truck. Does it run?

Nice job on the camper, Chucky. Looks cozy but comfortable. Where to next?

Nice! She looks a lot better already.

Greetings. You do realize that you've asked a group of MV enthusiasts whether you should scrap a CUCV? I doubt anyone here would tell you to scrap it unless there is major frame rust or some other really bad issue. They are definitely desirable, and if you decide to sell, it should be fairly...

Was he a traveler, or a transplant? Alaska is a long dam way from Texas. That is very cool either way!
