That's it! Thank you Elwenil. I had not seen that one before ( :oops: ) and none of my references had it. I guess I need a new copy of Jane's. I did try poking about on the SO's website, but it was so tediously slow loading on my dinosaur dialup (please don't laugh at me, it's all I can get...

Can anyone identify this vehicle? It belongs to the Oakland County (Michigan) Sheriffs Office. (No, I don't want to debate why they have it, I just want to know what it is!). Cheers

Good writeup and pictures, thanks Sam! Cheers

I can safely testify that it IS a non-springer seat! Not a bad ride though. The truck drove really nicely and is in really good shape. All we had to do was top off the fluids, and none were seriously low. Truck fired right up, all the lights worked, even the windshield wipers (and boy did...

I have been wanting a newer style fitted tarp for my ISO bed M813A1 (15' bed). I tried and found that the one for the 14' bed just won't work since the tarp is actually 13.5' long and the bow points were in the wrong place. And by tried, I mean dragged the tarp up there and pulled and grunted...

That truck is gorgeous! And ditto on the 8-ball... Cheers

You have to post the actual pictures on this forum. Look under FAQ's above, it will explain it. Remember that as you add the pics, they show to be in reverse order until you hit 'submit', then they post in the order you added them. That is a really nice 113, good job. Many of us have that...

Yep, seen some that had yellow showing through too, no data plates, etc. Cheers

Very true Mike, particularly with the Marines who buy what they need. I believe the green trailer in the pic is a Holden MT020 (wish I had one!), I wondered what the Marines call it. On Ft Hood I saw some equipment trailers that did have an M number though (which surprised me), but for the life...

Okay, here are ours. We have to keep them low because trees on the route WILL rip them right of your truck, pole and all (right Sarge?? :shock: ). Cheers

A while back I saw some military trailers that were very similar to civilian equipment trailers like the red one below. I don't remember the M number designation for those, does anyone know? How about for the USMC trailer below? May be a Marine specific unit (photo courtesy of Halftrack)...

Yes, when you don't actually need armour, the sheet metal cab took 21,000# off the vehicle weight (!). The doors on both cab types are on the sides near the rear (where the star is on the armoured cab). Cheers

Is this the 14' bed you are talking about? If so, it is the standard 5-ton dropside bed. The drop panels, incidentally, are the same as on the deuce A2C. Now, just to confuse the issue, Marine M813s also had a 15' dropside bed as a refit, but there is no fixed section at the front, so they...

Could be a Kia, or... A little research shows that the AM715/AM720 were exported to Israel, Egypt and "other Middle East customers". Came in several different wheelbases. Lots of Mogs over there too, maybe someone switched beds on one. I like the older style M715 better. Okay, enough thread...

jpinst, check out this thread written by Sarge, it is a great step-by-step instruction course on repainting an MV in 3-colour camo. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=144148&highlight=#144148 Cheers added info: If the names/numbers like "383 green 34094"...

The Arab truck in pic 2 looks like an AM715 with a Unimog bed. Anyone know anything about that vehicle? Cheers

Cool, we shall await the results. Remember the three SS P's- paint it, picture it, post it! Cheers

Nice truck David, glad you found a good one at a good price. Semper Fi Brother, and cheers

Nice truck. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I like the A3 deuces. Does yours have the 3-point seatbelts? If so, would you mind posting some pics of how they are installed? Cheers

jpinst, in the end it's your truck, put whatever markings you like on it. That's the joy of owning it. If you decide to go with the Marine markings, check this thread, deuce markings are basically the same as 5-tons. (All done in 2" stencils)...
