I suppose I should own up to it. That truck is mine. It will be heading south shortly to have a motor installed by a good friend, Tommy Craig, in Perry, FL. I kind of liked all the guessing about whose truck this actually was! I am sorry for being so secretive. I just don't believe in...

I'll say it again...MILITARYRESTORATION's price is very reasonable. Had I responded first, I would have said I have a really cherry early 90s M149A2...tan...fresh CARC...like new 1100 XLs...garage kept...$2150. Located in MD...and don't really want to sell it...but I will say I won't take a...

While I usually like to use Shell Rotella 15W40 for the reasons stated above, I will also use Mobil Delvac 15W40 or even Valvoline 15W40 if the price difference is big. NAPA brand oil is Valvoline or so I was told. Really, you can't go wrong with a name brand oil. I don't believe you will...

Beautiful truck! I have an 83 A2C, too. Did you get yours from Lejeune? Mine came from there about a year or so ago. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, GFCP! Congrats on the safe and successful recovery.

I realize you told us it was dangerous after the fact. What gave you the idea that it would be safe to do before you started? Perhaps, the fact that the trailer DID NOT have a pintle hitch in the rear should have told you the trailer was not intended to be towed in tandem. Perhaps, the fact...

Did you use transit tags? How much were they?

No trailer (or truck for that matter) is worth risking life and limb. The M105 is not designed to be towed in series. That is why there is no pintle hitch in the rear. Even the M332 ammo trailers that have pintle hitches are not designed to be towed faster than 15 MPH in tandem. The beds you...

I agree with AH...start with a deuce. They are fairly cheap and are a lot of fun.

I am with MADDAWG on this. Contrary to what most people say and think, a deuce is a 50 mph truck +/- 2 MPH. Yeah, guys like to push their trucks...but to what end? So, they end up getting somewhere about 10 minutes quicker than they would have (over the span of driving an hour or more)...

I have two mint M332s in a garage. I basically visit them a couple times a month. I probably should sell one, but I am too lazy to advertise it and really would rather just enjoy looking at them than get a few hundred bucks.

I was just going to make a joke about them being available about 350 KM south of Moscow, but I see now that is the truth. I love the URALs. My wife is Russian so I have an affinity for all things Russian. Anyway, I have resisted buying an Ural because of parts availability. Good luck in your...

In order to hook up to the rear lifting shackle mounting points, you'd have to remove the bumperettes. That, in and of itself, would take you a bit of time. I do not think the towbar will hook up without removing these. I suppose they could be torched off if the truck is a parts truck. That...

It is a multifuel 5 ton. I seem to think it was an M543A2.

Training won't do it. The military wreckers were NOT designed to tow this way and they don't have the same equipment to hook up to a truck that civvy wreckers do.

The biggest issue is whether your wrecker is tagged for such an operation and whether you have the appropriate license to do so. Also, check with your insurer to make sure you are insured to tow a vehicle with your wrecker. I would pay someone to move it. It does not sound like you need to...

James, I am not sure they are as nice as your collection...but I will add that I am happy with the trucks I own. Thanks for the compliments, guys!

...still more.

I am selling my M35A3 for $11,850. That is what I have in it. Come one, come all. The truck is very nice, but has some surface rust on the driver's bed side and a bit around the rivets on the hood. The paint is faded, but mainly solid. The tires are nice. Fiberglass troop seats. No cargo...

James is correct...1400s are too big for a deuce.
