Funny deuce and a half ad on CL

[SMS]

Lots of miles under my belt driving a M35...

I’d love to have one of those neat bobtail versions

I actually got to where I could "float shift" our old deuce that we used in our maintenance section LOL...always heard lots of stories of the A Driver on those trucks losing hearing in his right ear, I can believe it if you rode in one enough, exhaust stack being right outside passenger window

As a young Marine I always enjoyed being up on the ring mounted 50 cal. Especially out at the Stumps, you were in a breeze and had somewhat cleaner air. Plus, I didn't have to dismount every time we stopped to pull security....I was on the 50.

Hear, ha ha is what I was talking about. That is the unmistakable sound of a deuce.

Not mine. Not my ad. I was surfing Craigs list for used gun safes and somehow this came up. It’s a funny ad for an old deuce and a half multi fuel army truck. It kind of reminds me of an ad I saw a long time ago for A Harley that was for sale. Anyways I kind of wish I had about 4 or 5 country squares. A few thousand acres. I have one of these just to go fiddle farting around with

This ad is a must read

Ha . . . . my uncle had a couple of those way back in the day.

I got a kick out of the three page long add the guy wrote. It’s hilarious

Years back there was one about a used wedding dress a guy was selling. Hilarious!

Ha! I found it! It was on ebay. I guess they left it up for comic relief.

Nah, some very wise individual snagged it and saved it for posterity--the link you posted is from the U of Minnesota. 'Tis fortunate for us that they did save it, though.

Our unit got turned into a gun truck convoy security company in Iraq in 2003-2004. I was in the maintenance section, but always volunteered to go on missions, loved riding the Ma Deuce in the back! These were 900 series 5 tons, not 2.5 ton trucks though...I'd hate to have been a bunch of old school deuces doing that stuff!

We saw this re-purposed 5 ton Deuce in Colorado. It’s actually in use by the owner for boondocking during hunting season.

Never drove one on the road, but I spent a lot of time being transported in the back of those sorry things. Owning one of those is somewhere around 7,423,657,021 on my list.
