    Hardtop with turret mount

    I have a really nice shape insulated hard top that has the turret ring cutout and reinforcing rings. It also has the water tight vinyl cover on it. I would probably prefer a standard top though. How much is the ring mount version worth? I haven't seen a lot of them out there, are they fairly...

    Geico insurance- Need help

    Does anyone have Geico insurance? If so, how and what is it listed as?

Their weight limit is...

    5 ton Single Rims

    It's been brought up before, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet. Has anyone welded deuce centers (whether cut-outs or made from plate steel) onto single 5 ton rims? The rims usually sell for $200-250 each, if you had some fab equipment you could (possibly) end up with massive beadlock rims...

    Determining Model Year

    I'm trying to figure out the model year of my truck. I know this has been covered many times (many, many times!!) but all the searches have links to older forums that no longer work, which seems to be a new, common problem. Anyway, can someone tell me or give me a good link to figure it out...

    Brush truck water capacity?

    I am looking at building an off-road (i.e. forests) spray truck for tree spraying. I've seen thread in the past about brush-fire trucks, but can't seem to find what I need. Although a 5 ton would certainly hold more water, I think the added curb weight would just lead to traction problems and...

    E-brake handle

    I need to get an e-brake handle for my M38 that has been converted from a transfer case e-brake to axle e-brake. I am extremely limited on space and thought a deuce e-brake handle might work well due to there small size. Any thoughts or recommendations on what might work better? I searched...

    5 ton GVW and GVWR

    Can anyone tell me what the empty weight and GVWR of a 5 ton is? M54 or M813 cargo. I know they vary allot, but the numbers I have seen online are all over the board- 15k to 23k empty and GVWR's up to 55k. The reason I ask is I want to know if I can register a 5 ton as a non CDL truck in...

    M105 Dump trailer?

    Has anyone out there converted an M105 trailer or similar to make it dump? The thought of using a long travel bottle jack as a piston, like the ones on engine hoists, seems appealing if it would work- but I don't know if a bottle jack would function at that kind of angle. It would be really...

    LDT-465 power output?

    I have see power ratings for the LDT-465 in the deuce's at 160 hp, but I have also seen the power ratings for the LDT-465 in the 5 tons at 205 hp. What's the difference between the two and what's the torque rating for each? Also, is there a good web site that has these specs listed?
