I just saw a couple of 5 tons with dumps on them for sale the other day. First time I ever saw a 2.5 ton with one. Could still come in handy. Plenty handy.

Right, not a 2-1/2 ton, they had five lug nuts. It's a five ton. A really rugged old truck.

I sure would, here is the 93 Deuce and half than was made into a lube truck, at the under ground sand mine I use to
work at. Many broken axles, was repowered with a C7 Cat so it could go under ground. It was overloaded, full of fuel
and oil across the scale was 32,500 pounds, but was a joy to drive, well sort of!

side exhaust had the 466 in them, exhaust out the rear has a 427, I think--its been years good old trucks plenty of power. We had some gas powered fuel tankers. they were dated 1945 and 1946-- wouldn't get out of their way empty. I always wondered how they kept up hauling fuel to Patton's tanks. they must have had hundreds or thousands of them.
Paul they upgraded em to 6 lug sometime along the way. That is a 2 1/2 ton. All of the 5 tons had vertical exhaust from sometime in the 60's while the 2 1/2 ton didn't get vertical exhaust unless it had the deep water fording stack or until the "clean air" engine upgrade was installed stating in the 80's. The "clean air" was only installed on the multi fuel engine failure or the truck went through depot level rebuild. There were duce drivers all over the place deliberately trying to blow up their engines to get the new diesel only turbocharged clean air engine. Then a few short years later the cold war was over and the military went through the "peace dividend" draw down. The Army had enough new model 5 tons that they purge the duce in favor of the 5 ton at all levels.
