    My 1st "Non U.S." MV post!

    @Guyfang right had a bit of long day yesterday i didn't think they simply used the one same cab for all different variations of the build and @WillWagner interesting because i know quite a few trucks that had solid of a flat fender that didn't care for sitting/standing on it but i guess that...

    My 1st "Non U.S." MV post!

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    not to be rather a bit offtopic (nothing to do with gasoline that is) but I wonder how 'bad' a relatively small amount the usual heavily-processed oils you find in food store would be in a multifuel truck assuming the tank was already about half filled with really good stuff if not just simply...

    Air ride suspension

    @264charlie I haven't exactly seen a lot of everyday news (versus test drives near the workshop etc) but even although its a different category of suspension you could maybe nevertheless compare up to https://www.edisonmotors.ca/lseries as they apparently have choose to use this type...

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    hey @G744 if you would like something very un-military different that literally ate through bunker-c oil like as if there was no tomorrow figuratively speaking then just look at this https://brasstrainmodels.com/images/UP_GTELs/UP_GTEL_8500hp-X1.jpg hehe!

    Any projects in flight for small gun trucks? M-Gators, M37 replicas, Toyota technicals?

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    btw I don't need a dollar for this as its not even my story in any way but..umm well..yeah..just go read this and don't look at me with that "what..the..heck!??" sour face afterward (and theres even at least one relationship to the military too as per this direct comment )

    If I had a Dollar for Every Time....

    @Adrok got to love it when you run into someone who doesn't even need to physically look up at all if you know what i really meant there? even then umm well geeze yeah when you keep going back many to the same small food store (think just a few employees if not sometimes only one all day long)...

    No emergency braking!

    @MatthewWBailey considering that its only for emergency purpose relatively speaking I guess that I won't be surprised if perhaps indeed noone knew it was put back on wrong till the one day someone does need it and it doesn't work

    USCG SPC SW 24’ Boat

    @tmuenster although its a bit of 'orange and apple' thing at times the same applies to a lot of other mechanical stuffs, cue an industrial-designed 4-banger diesel refitted for vehicle usage being a slow powerplant but would last well over 200k miles versus a car manufacturer designed 4-banger...

    Deuce pulling a pintle hitch trailer

    In regarding to @KN6KXR theres "one little catch", the m930-series had airbrakes so thats likely why it wasn't an issue for typical cdl, the m35/m36 on other hand are basically hydraulic [just to keep english simple] which would had possibly likely be a sort of "light truck with no airbrake...
