HI nope its in the cab and so is the log book from my unit,when we turned it in to USPFO here.
There is also a set of snow chains in the l/s (under door) bii box.

I always think its nice, to think that a truck made it through the military and through pvt. people and from being scrapped, to eventually make it all the way back to a familair owner. Congrats man, have fun with her!

 

[WILDBOY6X6]

I have some pics of my 1st use of it well just to move this in yard (no 7 pin plug you know) but is fun to see a 53' tlr on it.

For whatever reason, seeing a civilian trailed unit on the back of any military truck is always my favorite pictures to view. It always puts a direct comparison right in front of your eyes. Thanks.

I just bought my first 5 ton as well. I will pick it up friday morning early and have pics and video to share shortly after. It is a 90s year 931 BMY. Bought from private seller here in Oregon.
