    Why should I buy a 5-ton?

    I drove my M813 to the Ga Rally and towed the Duece to play with. Hardly knew the Duece was behind me except on dirt when it refused to follow. I love the BIGGNESS of the 813, its power and the power steering. I have three five tons, but now I also have three dueces. I love my little dueceys...

    Caused an Accident Already

    When i picked my Duece up I stopped at a Wendys and parked the trailer in the Super Market lot next door. When I came out there was a new Ford pick-up wraped around a light pole. Driver was so busy looking at the Duece he did not see the pole. Caught it right between the headlights.

    Looking for dump truck

    Bulldog, as i said watch the sales. It takes some time but if you watch them all them you are there when no one else is looking. Akexc, Gl is government liquidation. They have the contract to sell all of Uncle's surplus. If you have been reading recent posts you will see that they pulled...

    Looking for dump truck

    You just have to watch the sales. I bought an M51a2 locally for $2500.00. A friend of mine bought 3 on GL. One nice 817 for around $3200.00 and two more for less than $2000.00 each He used the nice one to tow another 600 miles home and has since moved 750 loads of dirt out of his pond with...

    interesting use of a deuce

    I think that was the long wheel base version. Here in Ga some Vidalia sweet onion growers put side dump bodies on them to bring the onions out of the field.

    Identify this Cat! Please!

    I don't have much to offer but I think the 3406 was the inline 6 used in a lot of medium duty trucks. I have a friend with a GMC Topkick with the 3406 in it.

    Pickins Gettin Slim on GL

    In my experince of watching the sales, it always slows way down at the end of each year and then picks back up at the first of the next year. I don't have a clue about the number of trucks left to sell but there is an end somewhere. On the bright side I do think the value of the trucks we own...

    Kenny, hindsight is 20/20, but knowing what I know now we should have left your truck at the dirt piles and you ride with me. I unstand you like to climb, so you would have been wekcome to drive my truck at the Grand Canyon. I could not stand to see doghead watch all the fun and not get to...

    need advice, im a new collector

    That is a great looking Mutt. If it was cut someone did an excellent job putting it back together. If it was not cut then you stole it. Mine is painfully obvious were it was welded back together.

    I'm back and have another Deuce

    Man that's a great looking truck. It looks just like my M813. even down to the camo bed cover on a green truck. Only your cover looks new and mine is faded. My two employees and myself worked for a week to get it to look like that.

    GREAT JOB AMY. I really enjoyed meeting you at the Rally. Had a great time with DH at the Fl rally last year. I hope to be there again this year. For those of you watching the vidioes, that last run in the dark was something. The only way to make it was low range second gear full throtlle...

    Flat Tow m342a2?

    I was told by several people the glad hand hook-up on a duece would not work because of check-valves in the system. Works great on five tons but they were designed for it with a front glad hand hook-up and the Dueces were not. I fabricated a fitting for mine and it can be changed it 5 minutes...

    RE: Re: RE: Flat Tow m342a2? I see Gimp got in ahead of me. I also had great brakes by tying in to the towing truck.

    Flat Tow m342a2?

    RE: Re: RE: Flat Tow m342a2? I just towed my M35 A2 to the Ga. Rally. I used a regular M105 trailer cable to plug in to the towing M813 and spliced in a three wire extension cord to get to the rear. Just inserted bare copper into the right pin holes and secured that and spliced in the cord...

    Deuce Windshield Assy needed! UGLY PICS

    Bulbs should not be a problem. My NAPA dealer can get them as well as my large truck parts place. They are on e-bay all the time but usually sell for more than I can get them from these guys.

    Clint, the unknown new guy with the custom bed had a buddy driving a duece also. Maybe they will speak up and identify themselves. Clint, that custom bed job that looked so great was started the Sunday before the rally. Only took him three days to get it to that point. I only wish I could do...
