roger on the bugly. its dang cool. wonder what kind of engine it has. like toi see whats in the RV parts.

I would say its an oil field truck. but it is pretty cool nonetheless.

UH-1, mostly recycled from viet nam due to the looks of them. the crane truck was out of the casserne motor pool. standard army green. we did not have enough work to warrant one just for us. Permasens was the town name.

in my unit, in Germany, we used them to remove and install main rotors on helicopters. usually engines were done inside with an overhead crane. once used one to replace a tail boom. it took a pretty good operator and lots of hands on help.

interesting for a 71' to still be non turbo and exhaust under the cab with muffler. it looks like i has other upgrades like suspension seat. nice winch too. good save! please post pictures of paint. if its anything like your rocker repairs it will be great.

Love my thorlos. had them for I don't know how long. warmest chushiest feet gear I have . even works well hiking in summer. wick moisture. long wearing.

Dang. that sucks donkey *****. the price of meat these days just makes it that much worse.

the bottle for the windshield washer fluid was mounted to the driver side drop down engine bay panel. a white plastic bottle. it had a rubber siphon tube that came through the firewall. usually through one of the same holes for the steering wheel shaft or similar near it. not sure how...

Mine is completely the light green inside with bare floors. a lot of these were heavily modified inside for the end use of the unit(s) they served.

so...what about the VFD's, the colleges, the forest service, the police and other government agencies both state and federal that continue to operate these vehicles on road. how do we come to a place where the government can declare " do as I say not as I do". what happened to a government...

the five tons from the sixties had the air intake mounted on right front fender top. so having the elbow face that direction is probably why. if you can get a better picture of the data tag on the block it might confirm that it is actually an LDT or an LDS. I seem to recall the 5 tons had an...

this is a great time for you. most people rarely venture beyond what they have already known or done. Just take a picture before teardown, during and after. almost all of the parts will be very heavy so plan, prepare and leave time to walk away if you get frustrated. its going to be messy...

welcome back. kind of amazing how many of them are still kicking around in VFD service around the country.

I have seen a military version of this for deuce. they have even showed up on gov liq site several years ago. never owned one or ridden in a truck with them. not a five ton but some research about that may be in order.

Howdy and welcome from Northern edge of Colorado. Sounds like a good purchase-like to see pics if possible.

Did you try undoing the front engine block mounts a little? if you can raise the front of the engine just an inch it may be enough. not too hard if you can get a good lift on the engine without mucking up the oil pan. by the way, great job moving radiator out of the way without disconnecting...

plenty of elbow room too! I suppose a small beverage container and lounge chair would be over the top.

howdy, welcome to the site from northern colorado. you might also look to past threads (and current) to see if you can find info as someone else may have already been through what you are asking about. pictures are always helpful to you and others.

Hgun--interesting---as the "parking brake" is actually on the transfer case not the drive wheels. that wheel may not be the problem. next time check the drum brake on the back of the transfer case for heat and smoke. if it is always hard to apply the parking brake it is likely the pads are...

I remember going thru this last year when I did my gaskets and resurfaced the heads. I found that the development of the engine design was such that it predated a change in "standard" thread designs. seems about WWII the standard of one single thread type was deleted. guess which one. I have...
