Excellent info! I don't have the numbers as I didn't knew they existed (dur) but also the FD painted it Red. I'll take a grinder to it this weekend and see what I can come up with. [thumbzup]
The SF-97 says 00012526329 but I haven't gotten to it on the frame yet. It has about five layers of paint from the V-FD. I'll get back to you on this.
Woo..good point good sir. :mrgreen:
Not to delegate the legwork here but any references to AF markings on a deuce? I'd really like to make it...
When was the A1 replaced from service? I know gassers should have been gone long before 1966 but some slip..who knows.
Never any bias for blue huh GE? :razz:
I have a USAF 1966 KJ that was converted from a gasser. The old style tail lights, old exhaust, extra radiator space, USAF safety stickers, etc..etc.. leads me to believe this. The old style gas tank is military in nature but nothing I can visually reference from searching. The multi in it now...

Here's a few pictures of some brush trucks I just picked up. The first is a 1969 KJ that is stock plus a master battery cutoff. Paperwork in the glove box suggested it served in the aftermath of Katrina moving food. Luckily a detailed schedule showed the FD unit was relocated prior to the storm...
I had State Farm for my M35A2s ($35/mo) but they discontinued it when it came time to renew. From my understanding they don't find the agreement "favorable" aka they arn't making enough for the risk involved. I'm not pleased with them.
I'd like to mention Brian at GSA's Forestry and Fire Prevention Branch in Louisiana for his willingness to help and all-in-all good company. Though I came fully prepared, he offered his facilities and services to make sure things went smoothly and tossed a few freebies my way. I promised to...
Deuce towbaring a deuce in hilly East Texas. Results:
259 miles
62 gallons (55 gal old JP8 & 7 gal WMO)
4.17 MPG
Top Speed: 52 MPH
Avg. Speed: 37 MPH
