I am in a bind now. I had a deal worked out with some one who lives close to this area, but it fell though. So now I have to get the truck home or at least stored some where until I get home from Iraq. Part of the deal included him getting it, getting it running, and storing it until I get...

I found out the military bought and used Kawasaki three wheelers in the 80’s. I have heard they used specially built brackets and racks. I was told they were KLT 250’s. If there is truth to this, could some one please post confirmation and maybe even photographs? I am VERY interested in locating...

I was hoping to grab a deuce tanker, but they are way beyond my financial reach. Plus, I am wondering if I really require a tanker that big. M37’s are really starting to grow on me and I am thinking I would rather have a M37 based tanker, if possible. Any ideas?

If you were to buy a multi fuel engine for a project, which would be the best choice? Listed below if the criteria I would use to select the right engine. I am very new to this subject matter so any input you all have would be appreciated. 1. Maintenance cost 2. Longevity 3. Sensitivity to...

In need of help gathering information on these old deuces I want to build one of these when I get home. I love this body style but I know absolutely nothing about them. Now, I am not saying I am getting into this right now. I just want to gather the information so I can be ready to make...

I am in need of a tow bar and one adaptor suitable for towing a deuce. I have one of the adapter ends already, but if the price is right I do not mind buying a set.

I have some questions and I do not wish to be “that guy” and repost stuff that has already been covered. So, being since I have a knack for NOT locating threads that covers my questions, I was hoping you all could help me by posting the links that will answer them. By the way, I know new...

I am always coming across parts and “gotta-haves” over here. Right now I am looking for tow bar accessories I would need to flat tow a deuce. Can some one post detailed photographs of these pieces so I will recognize them if I see them. I think I found a brand new adapter in the scrap yard. I...

Yeah, I feel like an idiot. I placed bids on three deuces and I thought two did not go through. That is why I continued to bid. I bid on one, it failed (or so I thought) so I bid on another. Again, I thought that one did not go through so I bid on a third and it worked just fine and let me know...

This is a Deuce that was left behind by a unit that once occupied this area. They left long before I arrived and left this poor truck behind. It has set for quite a while and will not be going back to the states. Unless I can pull off the rescue I am working on that is. Shhh.

Papabear and the guys at Iron Mikes took my wife and son it and made them feel at home in this unfamiliar town. She has not had any one she can count on while I am in Iraq and it is a relief to know that she does now. Plus, Papabear was kind enough to take on to military vehicles I bought and...

I have seen several vehicles that I wanted and are not that common in the mainland. Have any of you bought anything from Guam or Hawaii and had it shipped? If so what is the average cost? Is there an affordable way to get a large vehicle to the States from one of these locations?

This is a tank yard here in Mosul. There are a lot of cool relics out here. I even found some old soviet equipment with GM engines. I am a little confused on that one. Sadly, there is also some mangled U.S. equipment in the same yard. I have not included those photographs for obvious reasons...

My aircraft tug recently made it home and will not start? From what I hear, it does turn over though. So, what would cause this? I know, I know, that is a pretty vague question. But I am only looking for any common problems I should look for. I will be home on R&R hopefully soon and I do not...

I did not really know which forum this should go in. These are the aircraft tuggers we bought quite a while back. They are finally home and now non running. They both turn over though so I guess that is a good start at least. The Dodge is a donor. I plan to use the engine for the Cummins swap...

This is a truck my wife found for sale. I have always wanted one of these in original trim. The truck is complete and runs. One problem I have is I do not think it has the original engine. But, I want to get verification first. I have seen these in much worse shape going for much more than the...
