The last time I put in an EUC I got the same line from GL....periodic review..(it had been a while since I bought anything).
The day after I did an on line chat with one of the gals out at GL HQ my EUC cleared....go figure.
I had a TS before I retired and it had been reviewed...didn't seem...
A 600 is a medium wrecker body (see pic) so I think it would fit on a bobbed chasis if you put 5 ton front springs on it.
That being said the deuce only has 140 HP and will drag azz with a heavy load hung out behind it.
You will also have issues insuring it (ask me how I know).
No power...
The M915 was designed to be a line haul tractor for moving general cargo over various terrains (mostly improved roads) and road conditions.....no transfer case or front wheel drive.
The M916/920 were designed to travel mostly on rough terrain while hauling heavy equipment on flatbed trailers...
If you have someone to pump the brakes while you bleed them you dont need the power bleeder.
Be aware that until you are familiar with deuce brakes accessing the master cylinder fill cap can be a beotch.
You have to remove the small line that goes into the cap and then remove the cap...
In AL when you buy anything with an SF-97 you have to get an AL title in your name. Not a big deal just some money and time. You then use the AL title to transfer the ownership to the buyer and he then gets a title in his name.
Unless the vehicle is older than 1976...then you can't get a...
Your jumper cables may be too small......I have a set made out of welding cable....will start anything from a VW bug to a D8 dozer if you are jumping from a hot set of batteries.
You will have electrical issues.
That is the main problem you will see addressed on this forum with the CUCV's.
That is not to say that it is a bad vehicle...just that it comes with it's own set of grimlins.
The good news is that most of them have been addressed here and you can find...
You said you are going on Tuesday...does that mean you have a confirmed pick up appointment?
It has been a couple of years since I was down there but you need to call and see if you need an escort. I had a military ID so I got in without one. Some bases reqire that you have someone from GL to...
The NTC 250 is tougher than woodpecker lips and in a 5 ton will pull ells half acre in low range if you can chain up to it.
That being said it is never going to be a super powerful engine....it has a lot of torque and that is what it is built for.
The big problem in the 5 tons is the...

Google is your friend.
There used to be a lot of aftermarket speed parts for the 302 six banger...try doing a Google and see.
I think I remember there being headers, custom intakes for larger carbs, cam kits, etc. available through some speed shops.
At one time the 302 was a very popular hot rod and racing engine.
If you are talking about the one with the push pad gear selector I fail to see the attraction.
With no mechanical linkage to the tranny if the electronics go out you are screwed if you need to bug out (or just move the thing) .
That is the issue I had with the PLS trucks and some of the...
If you have the lift capability (as mentioned above) the 250 gallon "totes" are the way to go. Using a 12 volt pump with in-line filter you can drive around to locations that will give you UMO and fill the tote up.
I use a pickup tube made of PVC pipe with a screen on the bottom to prevent...
If I am not going to make a lot of sharp turns I tie the wheel but give it a little slack for slight turns.
Using a couple of heavy rubber tarp straps seems to give it plenty of play but doesn't allow it to turn far enough to get the wheels cattywhaumpus (yes...that is an official redneck...
