well, it looks like a real basket-case, but it's still going to go for alot I bet.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wait a minute! Do deuces have glow in the dark gauges? Maybe this is a return of the radium hysteria that affected electronics, like the R390 receivers?Actually, the new demil requirement is guages removed and frame cut in certain spots, according to the GL people at Fort Sam.
They gave me an SF-97 for my M35A2 that had no data plate.But the data plates have been removed. Will they issue a SF-97?
A bet it will go for a gazzillion dollars.

I emailed the coding office last week, got an email back requesting contact information, forwarded my contact info and haven't heard a thing since......Do you think it's time for a Freedom Of Information request for the facts?
I'm not sure if I believe the demil code change, at least not permanently. These truck have been surplused out for 50 years or more, I doubt they have suddenly become a threat to FedGov.
I can imagine some GS-6 sitting in a cubicle within the Pentagon, watching CNN, and if he sees a beat up, worn out deuce driving around a war zone in Somalia, then "SIR! We gotta change the demil code on these old trucks!"
I can think of a couple of reasons why it is possible. First a couple of background questions for you: Are you familiar with the HMMWV? How about the M151?Was this an attempt at humor? I don't see how this is even remotely possible....
Thank you Chuck; well put. But remember, we do know that deuces HAVE been changed to Demil F, and the discussion is if they stay that way, get changed to something else, or back to where they were. Yes, stop chopping and wipe down your old beauties with a clean chamois.
