Nice truck, congrats! They look good in red, too.

Cool video, thanks for sharing! I'm curious about the specs on the drivetrain. Top speed? Able to pull itself up hills? Is it loaded with sensors and electronics? I'm more into the history of the original trucks. But it is interesting to see what new companies are doing with the design.

Don't know how much those usually run, but it sounds like you got a steal of a deal! And look, you even have money left over. 😁

Ken, I remember reading a post on here that mentioned an Air National Guard unit using crew cab F350s. I can't seem to find it atm. I'll keep looking.

Go, Lil Pete! This is an awesome story. I'm all for saving these old trucks, if at all possible. They don't build em like that anymore.

I'd like to share my opinion on prices. Granted, this is only my opinion. The price of EVERYthing has gotten crazy within the past few years. A grease burger and fries at the drive thru costs around $10 where I live. Prices on new vehicles have doubled or tripled in a very short time. I think...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! From the picture, I would say that is a good looking truck. I do not claim to be a 5 ton expert by any means, hopefully some of the members who are will chime in. Here is my two cents: All of the performance issues that you describe could be caused by dirty fuel. If...

Nice job on the install! Very slick. It's always good to know what's back there, and that camera should make hooking up a trailer much easier. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the new truck! I don't know much about the gassers, so I can't help there. You can try searching on Google, just type in what you're searching for, then type "site: steelsoldiers" it works better than the on-site search. Hope this helps.

Chucky, if you needed help making your tire payments, you should have told us. We could pass the hat. At least the repo man put blocks under it!

Welcome, and congratulations on the new (to you) truck! I love the look of those M813s, with the can on the fender. Hope she runs well for you.

Subscribing. I need to do this to mine also. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, from Alabama! I don't know much about the 1078 myself, but you definitely came to the right place. Like @Mullaney said, the TMs will tell you everything you need to know. And if you get stuck, folks here are happy to help. Good luck!

Nice! That HMMWV looks to be in good shape. And the Vette is beautiful! I look forward to seeing your progress.

Congrats! Sounds like you have some fun work ahead. Just so you know, posting about a new MV around this group without photos is like waving a pork chop at a doberman. And if you could slip in a pic of that Vette? My Dad had a 66 with the 327. Good luck!

I love stories of older vehicles brought back to life. If you have money, tools, and time and you are willing to do some heavy lifting I would say go for it. As others already mentioned, plan to replace anything rubber. Belts, hoses, tires. Parts can still be found for these trucks, and the TMs...

I just measured mine. Looks to be 14 5/8". There is no space at the end of the slot when fully upright.

I see from your profile that you just joined, so welcome to Steel Soldiers! I found and bought my Deuce shortly before the pandemic hit. Good luck with your search.

Get it. Mount it. Seal it the best you can. Every brothel, er, tree house needs a gun ring.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, and good luck with your new truck! We would love to see some photos, when you get a chance to post some. All of my lighting issues were solved by replacing bulbs. If none of your lights work, I would suspect the 3 way switch is either set wrong, or possibly has loose...
