Not to nit-pick or anything, but don't you mean "fuel tank"?

Gas tank would be accurate for this truck. It looks really clean.Not to nit-pick or anything, but don't you mean "fuel tank"?

Jack's in Tucson will probably be the easiest to find a "Gas" tank.

Wow...looks kewl!
Pardon me for asking a noobie question: What is it?
Did it come from the factory with that bed?
With this bed, are rears single on purpose?
What was it's main purpose the military used it for?
Some many questions, so little time.

no, he actually sold it to some guy who wanted it for a rock crawler so the one under it is just a random one stuck under it to move it

Now that's a nice find..its the rarely seen ones that are crowd pullers. That will be a fine project to bring back to spec. Keep us all posted on progress.

will do, first on the list is a good cleanup. Inside the cab should be quick considering the seats are sitting in the back of it right now.

I am just amazed someone would actually sell it just for the axles/scrap.
