Still looks to me like it's missing an axle shaft on the right. I never noticed the winch in the G fn L pics either, thats some win! How is the 6.5 handling the load?

Nice looking trucks. I really like the setup with the gooseneck trailer.

Woohoo, be home Saturday with the new truck. Your fleet if CUCVs would leave a small government green with envy.

Back from work, conducted an inventory (showdown OCIE/TA-50) for the INF Company in WPB.
The trip: Would I do it again like I did………….No.
If I had more time to stop and see things and take my time……..Maybe.
Looks like I got about 13 miles to the gallon pulling the gooseneck trailer with the crew cab on top. I was doing an AVG of about 68 MPH. It pulled great but I spent more on fuel than planned.
The crew cab truck: It does have issues ….Looks like all the fluids were drained…good thing is they didn’t punch a hole in the oil pan/trans pan/ radiator. They did cut the lower radiator hose.
The truck looks like it sat somewhere damp…light rust under the truck on the rear diff/driveshaft/rear springs. A little rust on the driver’s door where the door seals on the rubber.
The pass side rear axle shaft is missing...? not sure yet.
I'll post a lot of pictures.....got to get some sleep....zzzzzzzz
