No tug in our motor pool, BUT..... We DO HAVE a Deuce, a 5-ton Semi-Tractor, a Medium Tow Bar and a HEAVY Tow Bar too. Thinking outside the box, I'm visualizing BIG TOW recovery IN MY DREAMS. If it weren't for that TOTAL DEMIL requirement, I'd love to mount the cockpit section as though...

I have TWO of the drop-sides, but no bed, headboard nor tailgate. Not sure if I'll ever sell them or just continue collecting parts for an entire bed. They make handy ramps for light loads... kinda steep for a 4' high deuce bed but great for a utility trailer, m105 or other lower load height...

A belated WELCOME ABOARD and glad to see you come out of the shadows. Best wishes on your joining the MV Motor Pool. John San Angelo, Texas, USA

DIGEL or GAS-X will help that.

Live Steam?!?!? Oh my! What gauge do they run there? Any of the MV's hauling motive power or rolling stock?

That #1 pic - the orange one - is worthy of an MV Calendar !!!

Who said "on a government plane??? I WANT a C-130 (or newer/larger) of my own for these recoveries ! ! ! Oh, and a surplussed airfield would be handy to have too.

. I dream of someday AIRLIFTING as a recovery option... Maybe from the HAWAII auction site where closing prices are notoriously LOW. It's said in the Bible: Proverbs 29:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 Where there is no vision (dream), the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Your build is indeed very interesting. I respectfully suggest that you keep all the details in one place and create a NEW THREAD specifically for this project. It will be better archived on the SS website that way as well. Thank you. John

BACKGROUND: When we first got our Deuce it was a cab and chassis witht he cab being firetruck RED and the frame being black. The bed we bought separately was CARC 3-Color Camo. For a quick fix I simply over-sprayed the red cab with NO surface prep except a quick wash and wipe down - NO Sanding...

I've always thought they look like a locomotive sans the tracks. Seeing yours in "traffic" seems to emphasized that comparison. She sure looks like a locomotive to me !!!

Date(s) please? Is there a web link for this event?

I like the idea of scabbing it onto a Deuce frame and drivetrain and making it roadworthy. :driver::grd::D:tank:[thumbzup]

Have you considered just going with your present lifting point and adding weight (sandbags? Tires?) to the light end until she balances???? Just sayin'...
