The Deuce brakes are slightly better than barely adequate in performance. Remember, this truck was designed in 1949 and went into series production in 1950. I don't believe the brakes have seen much improvement since then except for possibly upgraded linings, so you are talking 1950's braking...

Inadequate power and lack of speed. I'm assuming you had an 800 series 5 ton which is a much larger truck than the Deuce. You might want to think about a M54 5 ton cargo or M52 5 ton tractor. Closer in size to the Deuce and 50% more horsepower, its no Freightliner but may be a better compromise...

RE: This was 17,000 Halftrack - Awesome trailer! Tell me more about it, I am looking for something just like that. Make, capacity, etc.

NOT a good idea to 21,000 pounds with a Deuce. With a converter dolly and trailer with air brakes, maybe for short trips, but a 5 ton would be a much better choice!
