Hi all, I've been trolling around here for a little while finding all sorts of good info. I've been looking to buy a deuce but have recently found this 5 ton up for auction locally. From what I can determine it was a tractor and has been converted to a flatbed. So some of my questions: Would it be feasible to convert this over to a stock bed? Maybe have to shorten up a stock bed due to shortened wheelbase? I know fuel mileage is not great on these but definitely would make a great recovery vehicle for future projects. I do have a class B license so should be fine (legally) driving this. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.
Auction details: Army Truck - 1968 Kaiser, M52a/a w/w - means flat bed, diesel-mutli fuel engine, 11.00 x 20 tires, front wench, 5-speed manual transmission, 15959.0 miles, hard cab, runs good, 5 ton 6x6, M52a w/w
