The M720 will wander all over the road above 25mph (at least towing 2 in tandem). The M832 and M1022 tow great. These have lots of potential for project. Have a M832 with boxbeam from rails to support a MEP009B 200kw I put together in our Fire Dept. On scene drop the whole thing on the ground...
Our BN Scout Plt went thru an average of 3 engines per FAV during a 4wk FTX at Yakima (circa 86-87). Uncle gave them an EXPENSIVE to maintain toy. Very high on the cool index though.
Anyone here from Hawaii? Looking to acquire from DRMS a firetruck but looking for help with condition info. I'm told located at Kapolei, HI.
Would be RORO back to CONUS. Would need help getting from DRMS to port.

Every time I see on the news some poor ignorant clueless reporter or State Dept drone flying around the mideast is some POS Mi-___ it confirms what a moronic "occupation" is. Fly in a Russian chopper or walk is an easy choice. WALK...
Two searchlights listed on gsaxcess.gov - NASA surplus located Edwards CA. Obviously military. I don't know what process if for auction/disposal of GSA equipment that does not get reused.
Standard 1-1/2" firehose that DOD buys has brass NPSH ends (25ft lengths). NPSH is same as pipe thread. The US fire business used NH (also called NST) for 1-1/2" fire hose so NPSH is of no ues. Large amounts of it NPSH (new/unused) comes thru surplus system.
