Ah memories! Great trucks!
I drove a deuce as part of my job as a radio technician in the USMC in the early 1960's
I drove a deuce with a GRM shelter (Ground Radio Maintenance) mounted on the back. Usually, it had a snorkel and an exhaust extension (for amphibious landings) which made for great sound. It had a winch built into the front bumper and there was usually a roll of concertina wire on the front bumper. The deuce I drove had a gas engine with tremendous torque. It was almost impossible to stall. The deuce had 5 speeds. You normally started in second, unless you had been in reverse, then you started in first. In third gear you would travel at the same speed as marching men. Forty MPH felt like 100 MPH in a modern truck. Often, a trailer mounted 30KW diesel generator set was attached to the deuce.
I never drove a 5 ton. Only trained truck drivers were allowed to drive the 5 tons. I don't think they are much different from the deuces.
We had radios mounted on specially equipped jeeps. The jeeps were 4X4, but they were overloaded with all the radio equipment. Of course the best place for the radios is on top of the highest hill in the area. Often we would have to tow the radio jeeps to the top of the hill with a deuce.
Personally, I would love to have one. The downside is that I would have to widen the lanes on my property because a deuce is much wider than a pickup.
