[Westech]

what do you want to know?

 

[clinto]

it's green, has 10 tires, is made of steel..........



It has a turbo....

 

[kipman]

what year about? what should I look for as the main problems. it does say dot 5 brake fluid, does that give any indication to the age. I am new to this so I am learning as I go, thanks Kipman

The big ol' "X" means it don't have a motor...and that one in the pics...isn't really its motor

Other than that though, it looks excellent! Congrats on your new win!

Pretty clean looking turbo charged, non winch deuce with ether start installed. Has a personnel heater and an air shift transfer case and looks to be held at the lot at DSCC.
On deuces, age is not relevant at all but I'd bet 70 or later. Looks like some seal work may be required inside that left front tire. Oh, new J pipe as well.

 

[alphadeltaromeo]

Hmm you have have the ether kit on yours...doesn't look like it has the flame heater.

I can tell you it is not a CUCV!

 

[ida34]

I can tell you that by the time your EUC clears it will probably be a couple of pounds lighter. A lot of people need parts and some get the euc cleared before you.

It looks great!!!! You are now infected with the green disease. I am so sorry.

OK Kenny, how do you tell it has an airshift tcase without an interior pic? Airline on the firewall maybe?
Or did you use your SuperKenny xray vision?

It's missing the ether bottle, you may want to get one.

Kip, I am Just 2hrs down in cincinnati. If you need any help, shoot me a pm.

 

[Stretch44875]

Just noticed the lancaster location. Couple of guys near you, I'm about 2 hours north.

 

[Recovry4x4]

You guessed it Paul, I could see the air line running down by the aircleaner housing. BTW can you take a pic of that cast piece you need? I'm about to fillet that trailer.

Because of the passenger side headlight door?

Welcome to the site and that looks like a clean duece you will find this site to be a wealth of information on the duece trucks and any other Military Vehicle you may come across. We like to joke, but there are some of the best folks around on this site. You will see it in their posts and when you meet them you will never forget them. I would study the posts and stickies about picking up a truck from GL and plan on driving it home.

I get mine insured and registered as a classic for a good deal less than my other vehicles cost to do the same for. If you can arrange for another Steel Soldier to go with you to pick it up you will find it to be a priceless option. I got mine started and drove it home over 300 miles with only a little air being added to the steering tire since the valve stem core was loose and leaked air. Mine still starts in less than a second and is very reliable. You will love the truck.

Did you notice it has air conditioning? See the drivers window

Kipman, it looks like you got a good looking truck. You've got both spot mirrors,lifting shackles, windshield wipers. Wood troop seat side racks and a rag top, tires don't look bad either. I hope when you pick it up all of the above mentioned parts are still there. These are things I look for and ida34 had it right about things coming up missing. I remember when I picked mine up; ten minutes after a guy needed my Purple K to get rid of the bees in his truck. At least he gave it back ---- empty.

 

[nattieleather]

Nice looking truck. To bad your held up at DRMO in Columbus. Most likely a National Guard truck since that is about all who turns stuff in there.

Keep us posted.

It doesn't look like it been carc'd . No elec horn cut out which should make it 1969 or newer
