Lost my mind for a second and bought a 1962 Kaiser 5 ton

Hi from Vermont!!
My wife bought me this thing for my birthday; my 2 year old daughter and I drove it about 120 miles home, exhaust leak, non working signal lights and all. The baby refers to it as "my green truck". Looking forward to getting the lighting working and it registered.

Welcome from Colchester. If you care to meet some of the "local" military vehicle crowd the annual VT military vehicle show is next weekend way up in Waterbury. Also at the end of the month is the Weare, NH show, a little bit closer to you.

Thank you!! I don't think the Jug will be ready for next weekend, but please get us info on the show in weare? None of the lights work, or the horn, etc. I'm an electronic controls guy by trade, so I can dehack it and build a harness for it over this weekend, and get the gauges replaced or working, etc.

If you ain't got pictures then is isn't true .

You don't have to bring the truck to attend the show. There should be a couple 5 tons there as well as 2.5 tons, jeeps, etc. Maybe a few parts for sale as well. The wiring is pretty straight forward and you should be able to find replacement harnesses to install without much hassle if you wanted to go that route. Is this the 5 ton with the m135 bed (with the wheelwells)? That one had a 6602 gas engine.

I can't get the forum to accept my photos.

Yes it is. It used to have a fifth wheel, it was bobbed and had the troop bed put on it. We are considering doing a quad cab (we have 6 kids) to it. I may take my bike up to Waterbury, my Dad and I are supposed to go for s ride anyway. I joined the Merrimack valley club on line too.

Easiest way I've found to post pics is make an IMGUR account. www.imgur.com -- when you upload a photo, it gives you the URL link to use on here. Really simple and easy. And free.

I like imgur as well.

But Steel Soldiers doesn't do remote hosting. We host the images here, so that when incompetent (or evil, or both) companies like Photobucket break the internet, we'll still have all our images and our threads will still be informational.

So he'll need to upload the images here.

I admit I'm a newbie to this site. But, I've been on here since yesterday, using images posted to IMGUR.
When you post an image on here, it gives the choice to use a URL (web address) for the image.

Yeah, I think the site (SS) is saving the image from Imgur.
