Would like to see pictures. My advice is to not post info on the board about a truck. It would suck if some one decided they wanted it more. Simply post pictures and ask what poeple think.

I would use a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer and a one ton dually. I have see other on the site use 3/4 tons though. My concern would be stopping.

Where did you purchase it from?

It's a nice location. I plan on taking my truck.

I agree with the posts above. Driving a deuce while towing back to AZ is going to put you to a test. Drove 2.5 hours on Sunday it's a work out. I would get a price to ship and weight that against the risk of failure.

sounds like you know what you want. I would reccomend a winch. Post some pictures when you find the truck. :beer:

Idea's Service the airpack with air tool oil Change all the spring vent on the axles, tc, and trans, Drain the fuel filters Change Air filter Check oil, and all gear lube

Wow nice photo's

First off I applaud you on your efforts. Here are my thoughts on driving a M35a2 into south america. First would would need to buy a deuce. Then before you go off on a 2K mile trip you would have to rebuild it. I mean EVERYTHING not only to make it realible but to make you a deuce expert...

Hardtop:drool: and winch!!!! score......:beer: Take your time you'll get the brake fixed and be :driver: shortly. Also, i would change all the axle, tc, and trans spring vents. Change all the gear lubein every thing, change the air filter, fuel filters, oil while your there.

You would be better off to save your money and buy one out right. They can range from 2k-5k or less. Keep in ind the cost of the truck is relitively cheap (was in my case). The true operating cost, repairs, and maintenace is were the money comes in. As for driving, if you break down your...

I was looking at the old steel soldiers site in the duece section. I like the way the tm's and several sticky threads are at the begining of the forum. No hunting or search required and the most useful posts are righ there. Any chance we could go back to that format in the deuce section?

Thats one different looking truck, i would agree that bed is not a good choice.

Creative that's for sure, now i have seen a couple truck pools and a truck driving through a pool.

Any numbers on the black, green, or brown in CARC?

Buying from a private party is easier than the government. 5 ton for a newbie. I would say not a good idea, because of insurance and cdl requirement.

I did not pack the axle boot with grease. I just understand why it should be filled.

Interested thread, maybe a list of pros/cons? My thoughts, I would rather have a problem with an air assit steering than a full hydraulic system while i was off roading back in the hills. I'm not an expert, but are you thinking of using a hydrualic cylinder, pump, and hyrdro box that...

I had fun doing mine[thumbzup] Also, since your doing all that work make sure your axle vent is working or replace it.

Mine were sealed so i use my finger and lubricated them with grease.
