Does your truck have the bumperettes and pintle hitch? Seems to me that if you mounted it where those would normally be, it would sit more flush (beneath the bed more) and allow the tailgate to lower. What is your plan for brake lights? The bumper looks good, IMHO. Edit: sorry, missed the part...

Man I love the 'do' on that skull. Everything looks awesome!

Glad you're ok.

I hope you enjoy it! Getting hands on is the best way to learn about any new truck, I believe. If you don't already have them, the TMs (Technical Manuals) are very useful for troubleshooting, and are available for free download on the main page of this site. Good luck!

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! That is a clean looking truck. Do you have big plans for it? Daily driver, weekend toy? I've always liked those M1009s.

Yes, the one I have is a JBL Charge 5. About the size of a football. Mine came from Wally World, around $130.

That is really cool.

I like my JBL amplified bluetooth speaker. Has good sound and gets loud enough to hear in my Deuce. They make lots of different sizes. Not sure about the "military" aspect but I suppose you could paint it. Just a thought, FWIW.

I had never heard of this channel before, but I'll definitely check it out more. Thanks for sharing!

Nice truck, congrats! They look good in red, too.

Cool video, thanks for sharing! I'm curious about the specs on the drivetrain. Top speed? Able to pull itself up hills? Is it loaded with sensors and electronics? I'm more into the history of the original trucks. But it is interesting to see what new companies are doing with the design.

Don't know how much those usually run, but it sounds like you got a steal of a deal! And look, you even have money left over. 😁

Ken, I remember reading a post on here that mentioned an Air National Guard unit using crew cab F350s. I can't seem to find it atm. I'll keep looking.

Go, Lil Pete! This is an awesome story. I'm all for saving these old trucks, if at all possible. They don't build em like that anymore.

I'd like to share my opinion on prices. Granted, this is only my opinion. The price of EVERYthing has gotten crazy within the past few years. A grease burger and fries at the drive thru costs around $10 where I live. Prices on new vehicles have doubled or tripled in a very short time. I think...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! From the picture, I would say that is a good looking truck. I do not claim to be a 5 ton expert by any means, hopefully some of the members who are will chime in. Here is my two cents: All of the performance issues that you describe could be caused by dirty fuel. If...

Nice job on the install! Very slick. It's always good to know what's back there, and that camera should make hooking up a trailer much easier. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the new truck! I don't know much about the gassers, so I can't help there. You can try searching on Google, just type in what you're searching for, then type "site: steelsoldiers" it works better than the on-site search. Hope this helps.

Chucky, if you needed help making your tire payments, you should have told us. We could pass the hat. At least the repo man put blocks under it!
