580, I had looked at 1 thread but didn't know there were others...

Gotcha, I understand about the relocation of equipment to a DRMO?GL site, but I guess my question is more broad... So trucks are only going to be USAF? If the flapper valve is not a sure fire indicator then another way to tell? The unit #'s have been painted over on this example...

:funny: I haven't heard that line used in a while... Showing your age MD.....

I had recently noted references to late model "Air Force" trucks that seemed to have more upgrades and one particular external feature of the lidded exhaust.... Are these trucks limited to the Air Force bases or maybe Guard units? Can they be found on Army or Marine bases? For instance is this...

Not too sure the truck would remain roadworthy. Tires have to be balanced and if a solid tire is unbalanced then it could sling apart. Might have a low maximum speed. Think I would look into it some more before filling up the tires. For instance, when you fill a tractor tire with water for...

Thanks for the update Trango....... If you see my other recent posts, I may be headed to the woods in the near future and was exploring my options for additional traction.

rofl Frank, you sound like another ol' timer....In the famous words of the Duke in True Grit (paraphrased for apropriatness): "He reminds me of me".

No disrespect intended but I think my original thought was correct........... Not necessarily ugly but I don't know that it adds anything to the truck.

You are not very far (243 miles) away. If I go with the Det. Locker, I will have to talk with you about purchase and installation. On mapquest, when I think about driving the deuce some distance away, I have to remember to switch the directions from shortest time to shortest distance.... The...

I assume you would know.... Rockwell military 2.5 ton is a 16 spline?

Pulling a thread out of the dungeon.... Did anyone get a locker? If so, performance? Thanks JR

That is a nice lookin "1988" truck. 9.00x20 or 11.00x20? May be the distortion of the pic but the tires look bigger than 9.00s.

:oops: :oops: .... I didn't bother to read it... trying to get to the pic... :P Now if you where alittle more devious then you could have played me like a trout... "Now JR just look at the location of the reflectors..... 87-89 are spaced alittle differently....etc."

How can you tell it is a 87-89?

Not worried about the re-sale. I can buy 5 deuces for the price of a 1 low mileage medium duty truck. The M35's pay for themselves. I guess we are fortunate not many companies consider using 2.5 and 5 tons as everyday trucks or they would be much more expensive. Most people like the comfort...

I am impressed. How can you tell all that from the pic?

Re: RE: Suggested paint colors for Deuce (other than OD or c Cap, I can see what you mean with the white trucks and black accent on Memphis Equip. :)

Re: RE: Re: RE: Suggested paint colors for Deuce (other than Thanks for the reference. I had not looked at Memphis in a long time. Really like the yellow with black accent.

Just remember...you asked...... I am afraid it would like alittle like a vinyl top does on the old Lincolns. That is not a good thing.

I am simply amazed by the small business (and large business) owners of this great country. We are blessed with such an opportunity..... a person can literally buy almost anything you want at almost anytime. This availability costs money. I have noted that many foreigners (even from 1st world...
