Ah, THAT would make sense. Good on you!

The bumper bumpers are incorrect - the 99th ID was active from only 1942-45. In more recent years it is the 99th Regional Support Command, based at Ft. Dix/Lakehurst Air Base. Nice trailers!

That's a great save if I ever saw one. I think it's worth a couple grand if you can get it running and quick spray-bomb it. Clean it up a little, I don't think it would be hard to find it a home.

Looks awesome! I still say a gun truck is in your future...

Your last best bet at finding out what it is, is to contact David Doyle (here he's ddoyle), he might know more info. That, and you can write Military Vehicles Magazine, they might put your short letter with a pic or two in the front couple pages with a request for more info on the truck. After...

TacticalTruck owns the world's only M124 10-ton that was used as a test bed for RO/RO operations in the 1960s, and it had a huge weight in the ass end of it for static load testing. Perhaps this was the reason the thick plate was installed? I thick the rollbar is simply to protect the driver...

I ordered from them in the past, and done good, but I have heard of cases like this where the customer got something in a lot worse condition than they expected. Hope it works out for you....

Nice save, and a good deal too. Glad it turned out to be a runner as well!

I'm sure not ALL the halftracks had them, but the SCR-508 was one of the more common sets used. Very nice rig!

Milky white on the dipstick usually means water in the oil. Maybe some dumbass just put water in the oil filler cap because they were careless, dumb, or abusing equipment just to get it surplussed (don't laugh, it happens). Also, if the oil filler cap were loose sometime in it's recent...

Nice ride! Hope my future M1009 is as nice, and gets wheeled as much!

That would come in REAL handy at Haspin rally. After 3 days of offroading, you tend to get a little covered in mud and dust.

I've not heard of a C-HETT, but there is a C-HET. Usually it refers to the M911 tank transporter or the M1070 tank transporter.

There's a lot of good mods in this thread. Wow, 110 pages so far! You guys rock the CUCV!

Wow. So, what's it like having money?

When I towed the M37 behind the deuce, I have lockout hubs on the front axle so that wasn't an issue, but for the tow out to Haspin in 2010, I removed the rear driveshaft. My top speed for the trip was 52 mph on the flat and level. If you don't have lockouts, and you ever choose to NOT use a...

Wow - I sold 9 deuces in the last 5 years. If anyone said "I'll give you $12,000 for any one of the nice trucks I sold, I would gift wrap it and put a giant bow on top for free. Just. Wow.

Most maintenance in the military is done by 18 year olds who don't care too much because they don't own the vehicles. They do the bare minimum to get by when the motor pool sergeant isn't looking. Keep that in mind.

Gotta paint that sucker up, restore her to preserve her for future generations to enjoy. Welcome to the disease.

Try Bismarck Guns. They did a great job making a M2HB dummy for me. The owner makes custom one-offs all the time. Last time I chatted with him he was making a dummy Flak 88 for a reenactor. His stuff takes time to make but he does it right. Just an option - you didn't specify that it had...
