Other than being a foot longer, what's the "advantage" of the ISO bed? Does it still have the troop seats?

I wonder how rare/common the ISO bed really is? I've never seen or heard of such a thing until now. And that's one happy-looking guy behind the wheel! And 70MPH...wow! That's quite something!

Sweet looking truck! Gonna be a daily driver now?

That is a STRANGE looking truck!

When you say "green camo" are you referring to the 3-color pattern like it currently has? Or more of a "woodland" style?

Your story made me chuckle. Everyone who says I'll be unpopular doesn't really have the up-close and in-person experience with MVs that enthusiasts like us do. In my case, I wanted one because of how well they do offroad but it was a quick, slippery slope to deciding I'd have an old pre-LMTV...

I say leave her as is, maybe just a refresh of the original colors. I like the 3-color camo on the M939 series 5 tons myself. With a Deuce I'm a fan of the solid 3-83 green.

Sounds like a good score and a fun project to boot! I actually kinda like the red paint job, believe it or not. Keep us posted on how any restoration work goes!

That's the reaction I get when I tell friends I want a Deuce or 5 ton as a daily driver. "You're gonna get like 5 MPG!" "Everyone will be flipping you off on the freeway!" etc. I personally enjoy them laughing at me, since I can imagine I'll have the last laugh later when my truck can do...

Looks good!

I actually kinda like the red paint job! That's a M54, huh?

Both those trucks look great!

Looks good!

It should be in here. I've seen it before. I have a hard copy though, and looking at that it's Army TM 9-2320-272-10. Hope that helps.

...But a 6 hour Deuce trip home should be an adventure you'll remember for the rest of your life. Have you ever ridden in or been behind the wheel of one before? I have been in the driver's seat myself, but it was trying to roll-start one by being towed around by a material handler forklift...

I'm a Deuce newbie myself with little mechanical experience but it looks decent from pictures. I'd say go look at it for sure! Ask the owner to not start it the day you go look at it. If the engine is warm when you inspect it, walk away, they're hiding something. (Unless, of course, you want...

Congragulations! Did someone stencil "Mad-man racing" on there? That's pretty funny... I agree 100%, Deuces are bad-@$$!

Congrats! You'll love it...

I say go for it, being in a similar situation myself. I've only just started learning to drive myself, and my first time behind the wheel of a stick shift was in a Deuce! (That's another story though). At one point it looked like I might have a '71 Deuce dumped on my lamp for free as a first...

So the previous owner modified it into a tractor by removing the bed? Looks like it has good bones, should be a fun project!
