Ok I think I'll look for a M54A2 in good shape with a winch and if I can't find one ill go for a M35A2. Because the more I think about it why not just get a 5ton? Everyone has a deuce haha plus as much as I will probably drive it mpg wont matter much.

That makes pretty good sense. Here a few questions what is the general MPG of the 54 with an lds? I understand the deuce is about 8-10 on a good day correct? I have pretty good avalibility to WMO WVO etc(why I want a multi) does MPG change much running alternate fuels? Also I've been looking...

cool I did not know that. so it seems everyone thinks a deuce would be a better choice for me. Why do you think so? Is it better at something as compaired to the 54?

Thanks for the heads up, a few years ago a looked at a deuce with an LDS the had the FDC bypassed for $4300 in great shape. I should have bought it but oh well. Also the FDC can be put back into service correct? also I agree power steering on a 19,000+ lbs truck would be nice. What are your...

Hello all, after years of reading and looking and learning I have finally narrowed my MV search down to 2. The classic M35A2 or the bigger brother M54A2. I want a multi fuel so the 800 and 900 series was out for me and a manual trans is more than a must have. I understand the multi's are low on...

I'm driving through Indiana and was told there's a military salvage yard in South Bend, does anyone have any info on it?

Well guys as promised I didnt leave you out in the cold... Totally.... Im sorry that's the best picture I could get because I didn't want stop the car and take a look because of property issues that I'm not about to get into with the owner. Like I said earlier they are very private and as I...

I won't trust me. And don't forget "they" not "it" haha I can see 2 from the road and I know there's a few more there too, along with a couple old farmal A or B's maybe I don't remember anymore.

well I didnt get a chance to take any pictures today. Tomorrow morning I plan on going out there. and Flingarrows, thanks for the generous offer but honestly there is no way I could get one of them, I can dream though.

Haha ok I'll see what I can do, I might be able to run out before work tomorrow and grab a few shots from the road but I'm not going in any closer until I have someone else with a closer relationship to the owner. and that might take awhile guys so dont hold your breath.

Hmm ok I might have to actually take a look at these. Say one has a "good" hull as in not rusted through, what would be a going price for something like that? How about one with a bad hull?

Ok although I do no have the cash, place, or most of the equipment to even attempt a restoration on a dukw, I have to ask. How far gone is too far? I ask because I recently drove by a spot close to my house that I forgot has at least two dukw's but if I remember its more like 6 or 8. there in...

Your drawings are very cool, I've always wanted to be able to draw, but I never could get it down.

Yeah it should be a fun time, thanks for the info everyone.

I searched and only found one yard in Rolla, is there any more? I don't have a MV yet but I like to look at all the green iron and hey a sweet deal on a deuce would be nice. I'm going on vacation starting wen, going from peru IL down to Joplin MO and have plenty of time to stop and check stuff...
