Oh, barf, another bling bling truck. Just get in line behind us and paint it OD green like everyone else, and you won't get latrine duty next Steel Soldiers rally...

RE: m125 How much, Jeff? I find it interesting that camouflage on US military trucks wasn't standardarized until 1973 or 1974, at which point the M125s should have been surplussed out. Yet, there it is above in MERDC livery.

Well, after looking over the piss-poor welding job a previous owner did on the 18" frame rail extensions (see above pic) along with about 2 or 3 torch-cut frame crossmembers in the back, I think I can safely say, that this trailer is not safe to put too much weight on. Not to mention that with...

There is a M-38 (not A1) for sale near me I am toying with the idea of picking up. What are the specs of the jeep, mechanically? Type of tranny, type of axles, gearing, HP, etc. Thanks. i am trying to determine whether this thing is original or a bitsa (bitsa this, bitsa that).

RE: Re: RE: Step deck going to Chambersburg then to Michigan He needs four deuces and a 5-ton picked up in Chambersburg before Nov. 30.

Looks great Bjorn! Like I said, it looked like something was missing....

David, wasn't the bed of the 10-ton M125 the same as a 5-ton cargo?

Hey, I'd buy that for a dollar! Well, 400 dollars anyways. Very good deal!

Nope - that used to be an antenna deployment trailer. The wire reels on the back end are a dead giveaway. The racks used to carry sections of antennas such as the ones in the link below. I have seen these trailer antenna sets in their entirety - lots of ham radio gear...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Body Filler I have seen a friend of mine use lead on a hot rod project of his about 12 years ago. If you know how to apply it correctly, the finish is smoother than Bondo and fiberglass, and it is easier to work when hardened than you would think. There is a hazard of...

I doubt that vehicle would be approved for highway use, CUCVFAN. It looks overwidth. The HEMTT is barely within legal guidelines for highway travel. But you're right - it would be cool!

Do you know if this beast is for sale? If it was a 10-ton M125, it may be able to be salvaged by hacking off the rear axle and part of the frame, and grafting on a 5-ton bed.

RE: Re: RE: Early Deuce Artillary Piece The larger artillery pieces such as 155s had to be hauled behind 5-ton trucks. The deuces could do it, but really only on level ground. The larger 175mm, 203mm/8 inch pieces were designed to be towed behind the Mack M125 10-ton cargo, but those towed...

Very nice job, Bjorn! There looks like there should be something behind the cab, according to the picture from the manual. What is missing?

That flick would have been more exciting if the bed was loaded with dirt or rocks. Course, probably the truck would've disassembled itself upon landing.

Makes me sad, this was a nice one. Hope my keeper I get early next year is this nice. Ran like a top, made it pretty too. But it was off to a new home, someone who will use it and was thrilled to have one this nice. A couple pics of the truck...

According to Four Wheeler magazine a few years back, the CJ-5 series of Jeeps and their derivatives (M38A1, CJ-6, etc.) have seen more trail miles than anything else on Earth, hands down. Millions produced from 1953 to 1983, and a few other countries made them as well. Didn't have a chance...

Great find. Too bad the ones that get sent to DRMO in this country either get bombed, or get scrapped. They would be a great little crane to have around the property.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the trailer, I was thinking about mounting a few tool boxes, a genset, small water tank, chow box, etc. to it and hauling it behind a deuce for a camping equipment trailer. But I wanted an opinion of the audience here to see what you all though about this...

Well I picked up the orphan M103. I'm not really sure of the designation - it could be a M105 without the body, the data plate is faded to the point of non-legibility. All I know is it is a 1965 2-wheel trailer, and looks hideous. But the price was right. Got the hitch put on my truck...
