Thanks for posting this question and risking the pummeling by those pointing out someone may have asked a similar question back in 1957. My horn has not worked since I got the truck. After reading the helpful answers, I took my horn button off to see if it had rust, corrosion, etc. Nope...

It won't quite break your thumbs, but it will hurt like he!! for a couple of weeks. Off road or on mud roads, especially narrow ones, stay on top of your wheel. Unlike a jeep or a 4wd truck, the momentum of a deuce going sideways is hard to overcome. Better to not get going sideways in the...

I like it -- kind of reminds me of the rigs made up for the movies in the 60's that showed folks trying to capture African animals live. All you need is a seat on the front fender.

Just did a search on the numbers -- I tried it before with no luck, but now it comes up with a couple of hits that are somewhat cryptic, but I think it may be some sort of louvered identification panel. Now the question would be for what, FLIR, Thermal, IR, Other?

I see it on HMMWVs, FMVs, and other wheeled vehicles. A recruiter at a display said it was supposed to protect from shrapnel or fragments, but you know you can't trust recruiters. . It is very thin and light, not sure what it could do. The side channels are held on with adhesive tape, and...

Wow,with so many threads on the same topic, its hard to know where to post. If you want an "authentic" solution for locking a deuce, weld one chain link vertically to the edge of the door, another to the cab door edge next to the first one, paint them green and use a padlock. I was thinking...

Hello, A couple of weeks ago, I googled for HMMWVs for sale, and came across a dealer who had a number of rebuilt HMMWVs as well as some stripped HMMWVs for sale. I think they were out east somewhere. Naturally, I forgot to save it as a favorite, and can't seem to recreate the google...

Mine was $2900 from GL a month ago -- super clean, 9300 miles since rebuild. Needed a master cylinder rebuild, but except for a few rust spots that I need to touch up, it's in super shape. I spent a couple of hours looking it over before the auction, so I knew what I was getting. It even...

Would love to see one in Northern MO

Here's a shot of a current howitzer from the 3d ID, first of the 9th Field Artillery showing the bumper markings on it.

Just wondered if anyon had given any thought to building out a Toyota "technical" gun truck like you see all over the news. If you have thought about it, what are the challenges you have considered? I wouldn't mind having one, but it is down the list a ways.

Looks like there may be some numbers on the rear, maybe a picture of them would help?

I suspect you have one of the experimental all aluminum deuces. They won't trip the magnetic sensor.

Guessing 4th Infantry Division. The F would denote Field Artillery. the order this is in, would indicate 9th bn, 1st Field Artillery brigade, however a google search can't find that unit ever existed. The 1st bn 9th FA is part if the 3rd ID. CML typically means a Chemical company, but I don't...

I wonder if the date might be a julian date -- the 207th day of 1971, for example, would be written as 1207, of course so would the same date for 1981, 1991, etc.

Definitely sounds like a good deal. It will be interesting to watch it progress as you work on it.

Glad you make it home. Surprised they didn't paint out the bumper numbers before they turned it over to you. They did for the two trucks and the trailer I picked up there. Not sure why, maybe they finally figured out it didn't really matter.

Maybe you should leave the coasts and move to the middle of the country. I'd be happy to let you use my MVs for free, would drive them for you, and would probably not worry about fuel reimbursement unless I had to burn over a half tank.

Thanks for re-starting this thread. I got several good ideas. Finally broke loose the lug nuts on the left front of my new 818. Rockwell 3/4 -- no good. Craftsman 3/4 inch breaker bar with 6 1/2 foot cheater -- broke the breaker bar (exchanging broken tools at Sears is one of my favorite...

Nice looking truck
