Great 1st truck, hope your budget can handle the future additions. There's no turning back now.

Nice rig! I know the kids absolutely love these trucks especially if you give them a toot-toot, haha

Thank you! It's funny, because the kids like it when it goes toot toot and the parents like it when it goes braap braap. Everyone wins!

VERY nice looking truck! I've had only a few, not like some folks here, but have ALWAYS kept my first truck, 1965 M35a2 hard top with winch. Got a special place, ya know.

Soooo this whole time I thought I had a Hercules with a c turbo....... Wrong! It's a D turbo, and the engine tag says mfd in 2 of 92!! The more you know.....
I especially love the advertised HP of 4, seems accurate. Onward and upward!!!

Maybe 134hp? C turbo has a super strong whistle, D is quieter and actually produces a VERY small amount of HP more than C......idk about mfg date.....military does weird stuff.Soooo this whole time I thought I had a Hercules with a c turbo.......

I think its actually 164, either way guessing the original puked and in went this one. It's strange, this turbo whistles pretty loud, which is why I thought it was the C originally, but I looked at it today while I was under the truck and there it was, stamped on the bottom of the unit, Schweitzer D. I take it as a win, if the D is this loud, I don't want a C

From what I've read, it varies by who's typing
. 134 appears correct for this particular tag though.

I was gonna say... if you have a "C" turbo, there will be absolutely NO DOUBT in your mind... be cause your mind quits working after about 30 minutes of driving it!

I think you need to get the Deuce dyno-tested to sort out the 4hp - 134hp - 167hp mystery! 
There is a chance it makes a full 80hp at the wheels!
It is a good surprise to find out that they dropped a late production multi into the truck. Have you checked the transmission, too? Maybe it was a whole driveline transplant!
