Sizing and design of a system is not a big issue. It has been done before. The good news is a found a Knuckle boom cheap. So I will use the knuckle boom to load/unload and have the dump bed for hauling bulk material. It has a 17' reach and 2750lbs at full reach. That should handle most of my...

Thanks for the info M813RC! I hope that i can find it when I pant my truck.

I can use all the bows and corners for my M813 cargo bed. I spoke to your sales guy and said you have a bunch of them.

Great idea. I think it was a learning experience for everyone. Most people would have given up! nice work! I think you should take what you have learned and build a bed that is wider and a bit longer. post up pictures with the new tires on.

Did I mention that I am moving to Falmouth. So I am back and forth between Falmouth/ Bridgewater/ Boston. We should start a Cape/ Mass group! Good to see you 5ton beach buggy! Still love that truck. My M813 is a close second. Going to get some 1400 r 20 in Penn. soon. Found a good source of...

I live in Boston right now. I am keeping my M813 in Bridgewater. I work for a trucking company and we can handle any repairs or modifications on deuces or 5 Tons. I can get Cummins turbo set ups, turbo Cummins 350 and 400 for sale complete. I am looking for bows and a cargo cover for my M813. I...

Wow! Sorry for your lose:(. But I am one of those guys who slows down to see the carnage at accidents. So let's see them! nopicsIt would make a great mailbox. Let's see the high school kids bang that off with a baseball bat!

lots of good info. I checked out the Peltor Powercom and piratecom too. They both look good. It is nice to have the wireless true! The prices are a little higher right now on e-bay $375+ for each. I am going to stick with some wires, because I want to get away from transmitting next to my head...

Sounds cool! Hey that is great if it works for you. I know there are guys selling those set ups on here for a few hundred bucks, but i am trying to keep the cab uncluttered and the wiring simple. Plus the old military headsets are uncomfortable to me. Feels like having a plungers on my ears...

Connect two people with the RRP660 intercom and DSP for the best in audio clarity for unparalleled communications. (can expand up to 6-persons) The ultimate VOX Intercom system for clear driver and co-driver communications is the perfect plug-in and race system. Also features high-output...

I have a M813 5 Ton cargo with a NTC 250. It is loud at idle but, I wear hearing protection while driving, so on radio or talking to your passengers. I have looked into the military headsets that they use on Helicopters and other vehicles, but I remember from being in the Corp. That these are...

Hey Ripcord01 I can build you one of those, but material costs would be high and then about price to fab it. What is your budget? Do you have anything to trade? :-D

great videos! Man those trucks can haul. I would imagine Shale is very dense and heavy, your truck dumped it no problem. Can wait to haul material in my M813. I am installing a dump hoist next week.

Nice job! I like the twin receiver set up!

I have decided to go with a dump hoist at this point. I am on a budget right now, But I will be looking into it again soon!

I may go? Anyone want to bring a 5 ton dump bed with them!:) I want one for my M813. Looking for a Cargo cover too. Yes, I want Jerry cans too!

I am interested in putting a dump bed on my M813, but I can't find any in New England. I have found some older deuce and 1/2 dumps in OK shape. are all dump beds the same Or are the 5 ton dump more heavy duty? They all look the same? What should I look out for?

I wasn't saying that gas engines are bad. Just that gas goes bad and gums up the works. I have started gas engines after 5 yrs. They just need the carbs rebuild when you get them home and the squirrel nuts cleaned out! Still waiting for more pictures of the bridge truck and I think the wrecker...

I spoke to a great local guy who has lots of experience with military vehicles of all kinds. He said that it is definitely synthetic and I should be able to mix other synthetic oils with what I have. He told me to check my transmission too. So if you have thinnish golden gear oil that doesn't...

I might pick up the wrecker? It is a gas engine, so I doubt it runs. The bridge truck is way up in VT. if it runs and drives. I might try to get it home. But, the bridge truck is class B license and oversized truck. It will take some extra paperwork to get it home to Massachusetts. Money is...
