    5 Ton 4x4 Conversion

    John, Cool idea. You thinking of using that truck up on Route 12 as the donor truck? If you are, I would be interested in the dropside bed. I think that 923 with the Duece bed looks pretty cool. Talk to you soon at the Sussex Show. John

    Working on the MKT

    mkcoe, Looks really good. Do you know if Mike has more of those NOS pigtails laying around? I have to do the same thing on an Air Force MKT-85. I guess it was a M2A Gas burner equipped trailer. Thanks for posting the pics of the crossover and pigtail upgrade, nice for reference. John
