They are both the same model. BTW I do have a 10-ton :)

Good question, I will measure it.

My town retired them years ago. Rather then letting them sit there I made them an offer and they accepted. The next one arrived today.

I just saved a few retired military trucks from the scrap heap. Here is the first one of those to arrive. I will wait until Spring then evaluate them to see what to fix and what to dismantle for parts.

I have never taken it any distance but I bet 4 MPG would be a good day.

I should state that its a steep hill, no brakes, soft soil, and certain death of you go off road at speed.

Sorry I haven't been following up here... In winter prep mode. Look for Lempster NH, Rt 10, then follow Olds Rd to where it goes into the woods. At the very end, at the top of the mountain there is a house. thats it. You can see it here...

Lempster

About 5 miles from my house is an early 50s M211. It belongs to an older man who used it to go back and forth to his off the grid mountain camp. He is now too old to use the cabin and the deuce has been sitting. Because I am known around here for my collection of retired military trucks it has...

Pics just for you :-)

I have a neighbor with a very early deuce. Its a gas /automatic, I'm guessing 50s. The machine runs, moves but its rough and has no bed. I'm sure I could get it for scrap price but its going to cost me time and equipment to get it out of where it sits. The gentleman lives in a part of NH that is...

After everything was said and done there has been a final verdict. The deuce has became a parts truck. First I pulled the glass to use in my other military trucks but the final blow was my starter went in my original deuce and I stole it from this one. Once that happened I just started pulling...

I have one...

I used spray cans and it took all day. I still have to get to the interior paint. It really looks good even with the mickey mouse paint job I did. Rustoleum to the rescue! Its huge and mean as **** but also a bit impractical. I know thats hard to say from a man who drives his M923 almost daily...

OUCH! Unless you know something about that truck I don't, I disagree. Then again perhaps you're the previous owner from VA that owned it ten years ago and know something I dont :) From what I have determined the truck needs: 11 new tires, seats (I do that myself and its cheap), all the glass...

You have a good eye. Thats a mechanical bell that dings when you backup.

I spent a few hours with the pressure washer today. The truck cleaned up nicely but I am still unsure if it would be worth the money to bring it back to nice. here are some pictures...

I just purchased a 1965 M123, v8 cimmins diesel that at some point had the 5th wheel removed and was converted to a forestry truck. So far all I have done is removed the tank and got rid of the awful firetruck red that faded to pink over time. I thought I might share it here as I have never seen...

This is military truck number 8 in my yard. My neighbors are sure i'm nuts.
