    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    Not at all. Keep up your preservation. Mine is pretty boring too, just hanging parts and maintaining. I can't come close to building a new truck like some members have done.

    S-788 Shelter dolly project

    A couple of months ago I bought a S-788 shelter from another member. He had posted his story of acquisition, etc but ultimately decided to go another route. His loss, my gain. Anyway, after a recovery from northern GA back to my place on a 16ft car trailer it's now sitting in my driveway. I wish...

    What have you done with your 5 Ton

    Finished my extra Jerry can mount tonight. Put it right behind the curbside toolbox. Fit like it was made to go there.

    BOLO missing truck

    Seems there are less people around that still think like that. I'm no old timer, but thats how I was brought up too. I kind of feel like honor, integrity and trust are flexible values that most of the population call out only when it suits them, not a way of life. I hope this works out for you...

    BOLO missing truck

    Reg, I'm in your area I'll keep an eye out. Like everyone else here I'm always looking out for other MVs. He's not a Soldier by chance is he? I figure you'd have mentioned that by now but I'll ask anyway.

    Trailer value

    Sounds like a M103, but if it's a M116 I'd be interested. Got a pic?

    Blackout light and street light operation

    NOD = Night Observation Device. General term for night vision. I see nothing wrong with using BO lights in conjunction with white lights for a little extra "cool factor" if thats your thing. To my knowledge they don't violate any laws when used with white lights. I make it a habit to always...

    M5 turret remove

    I've never been inside one of those, but in those pics the turret basket looks tiny! Looks decent on the outside, but the inside looks rough. I'm guessing your starting a full restoration? Awesome she's getting saved. I look forward to seeing the process and the final result.

    S-250 or S280 shelter

    zguy ended up getting an S788, former Trojan Spirit, then decided that wasn't the route he wanted to go. I bought the S788 from him. Picked it up from from his place a few weeks ago and brought it home on a 16ft flatbed. Moving it off my trailer alone was fun. I ended up building a custom dolly...

    Deuces trapped in anchorage

    They look like they could be the A3s that came out of GL in Anchorage awhile back. They were all great looking trucks that went for big $$$. As I recall they were all past $10,000.

    weasel in the deep

    I've done vehicle recoveries, etc. Lift bags are the way to go. 32m (104ft) isn't too bad. It pushes sport diving limits but can be done safely with no specialized gear, lifting gear excluded. I used to dive with a crew and work for a company that can do this. We've got u/w navigation, SAR...

    ~~What Not to do with a Deuce~~

    Those looked like Soldiers trashing Uncle's Deuce for no reason what so ever. So who is the lucky sucker that ended up buying that particular truck from GL?

    Radio antennia location

    Rusty, What the story on that 1523E? Not many of those around. Is the KY-57 just a shell with jumpers installed to pass traffic through?
