    Hey Goat, that is a five ton gun truck. There is a club made up of guys who crewed them in Veitnam. A lot of them went out and biult replicas of the gun trucks they served with. One of those trucks is in Columbus and I got to drive it in a perade the last time I was home.

    pretty cool looking...and pretty sweet that you got to drive one in a parade.

    ever seen the movie "Wages of Fear" it's an old black and white...it might even be in another language... but the movie is about four guys driving two deuces across...south america maybe? full of nitro with no safety suspension equipment.

    It was a very cool movie...there's a wild ass german guy who shaves while he's driving and stuff.

    I have not seen that movie, but I would like to. I have been getting very excited about finally owning a deuce. But it looks as though we will have to sell all of them. The money is just not there.

    Here are some gn truck photographs. The first is from Veitnam. The second is from one of the club meetings. And the third is the one I get to drive some times.

    The old timers that biult that truck get a kick out of drivng it to Burger King for lunch.

    whats the towing ability of one of these things.

    looking at the specs doesn't seem like it would be much...looking at the truck, seems like it would be A LOT

    The military under rates thier vehicles. They can tow a LOT more than what they are rated for. But to make them last the military sets very low limits for them.

    I was looking more at the engine output...it doesn't seem like that much...however, with the gearing that beast has, it's prolly enough to tow a house.

    I got a question...how the hell does that other guys deuce only have 288 hours on it. Aren't these things 30 plus years old?

    That is one reason. At some point in their 30 years of service that got a total over haul. Most military vehicles go through that. There is a base in Alabama that does it. The mojority of the drive train parts have little use on them. But, I also would not trust a 30 year old hour meter. I am sure they hours they show is far from acuate on most of them.

    mike that owns HREatv his one uncle bought one of the old surplus late 70's dodge 4x4 trucks and it had only 6,000 miles on it.

    sucks you have to sell them all. my one friend used to have a older duece that only had single wheels on the rear axles. it had a 292 chevy strait six with a auto tranny. it was a rare lighter duty model. it went threw a couple trannies and he got sick of it and sold it for $2000

    I do not think they ever came with a Chevy engine.
