anyone got the spec on an mkt? size? weight? I was told they are not to be towed by a 5 ton? why not?

Was at my local town festival yesterday and there was a vendor selling custom made signs. It is a real nice aluminum reflective sign just like a street sign. With all the comradery going on in my local mvpa group of 5 tons vs deuces (5 tons winning) I just couldn't resist having this sign made.

ok, sounds crazy, but can it? Can a 5 ton flat tow a 55 ton tank? using the big heavy tow bar of course. I know the engine has plenty of power, it will only go a few miles, VERY slowly,,but can anyone think of a reason it CANT be done?

my 5 ton with a deuce bed has no troop seats. I made some wooden uprights to hold the top bows and corners so could put a top on. But I decided I might not want the top on all the time so I wanted some real troop seats. I couldn't find any reasonably priced or close enough that I could get...

OK, OK, I KNOW its crazy, but what the heck, I will ask anyhow. Has anyone ever seen, done, etc any camouflage colored flames? Maybe just a flame in a black/brown over the green base? I had a CRAZY idea while looking at Elmo today to put camo flame on the hood and front. ELMO isint a...

From what I understand a main difference in a M39 series truck (older (54) five ton) and the newer 800 series, is the longer nose? You may know or not, but my bridge truck has a 671 Detroit diesel in it. The engine is soooo long that the radiator Had to be put outside the original grill! I...

Looking for a michelin xzl 16.00x20 tire for a spare. Am in Kansas city, the closer the better.

the extra cab is on and bolted down. will stretch the side out tomorrow and put plenty of reinforcements in the floor and sides. Still have not decided if the bed will remain as far back as it is now, then put spare tire there with a bed mounted hist or push bed forward to center it over the wheels.

Took a short 3 hour trip from Kansas city to Fulton, mo for a visit to the east wind airsoft meet today. Saw a few military vehicles on the way, a few sitting on the side of the raod for sale and a few current issue in transit, thought I would share some pics.

Finally got a bed for the 5 ton. i will chop 20 inches off the rear frame and mount it just about where it is in the pictures. the cab will go to the bed and be a 4 door cab, that will go on later this week or next week. wanted to put the bed all the way at the back of the frame, but it jut...

Ok, I need someone to clarify the way the front axle engagement is supposed to work in my 1954 5 ton bridge truck. does it only work in 1st and reverse? or should it work in ANY gear? I am not sure it is working properly at all, i may be imagining it, but it seemed to only work in first when i...

Well, after watching the video of the deuce doing donuts in the snow the other day, i just had to do it myself in my bridge truck. I have the 16x20 tires on it singled out so i wasn't sure that it would even spin the tires in the snow. it snowed about 4-6 inches of real powdery snow last night...
