Thanks...i just saw a 1990 5T 6x6 in an auction. This one has 250 hp Cummings, 5sp Allison auto, anti-lock air brakes. No winch or central tire inflation that I saw, with a soft top, and some kind of fire water tank and pumps and nozzles with control from the cab. I could part that out...
Hi everyone. I have already in a short time here been treated kindly and guided expertly. Thanks to everyone! As a disclaimer, I never really was involved with a forum before so if I don't have the proper etiquette initially let me know, please. I know somewhere on the threads I may find what I...
I would like to add, not from personal experience hauling water, but I used to pull 70 foot or longer power-poles on a dolly with a high center of gravity behind and already long line truck for the power company, and remembering my physics from college, I will say that if you drive imagining...

Wow! You are right. I do see what you are saying. Thank you for the wisdom, my friend! I am so glad I asked. This truck, I got for less than what the tires cost. Everything works. It is also registered and drive-able. I have already used it to buy steel, that was far too long for my regular...
Hi, I just read a "hello" from a new member and I thought it was a hela va good idea for me to introduce myself as well. My name is Jay and i live in Idaho. I am new to the forum, and new to the world of military vehicles as well. I bought an old school bus, a short one, but not a van type, and...
