M813 quick glance

So you have a Deuce and a Half eh? That's cute. Here's the real deal, the M813 5-ton 6x6 truck. This one belongs to a friend who very kindly showed me around and took me for a spin in it, to pick up his winter heating. That's one ton of wood pellets on a pallet. The truck swallows that and drives like it's barely there. It probably takes at least two tons to smooth the ride out noticeably. The hula girl on the dash sure gets her dance on!

In my wild and impetuous youth I was a volunteer fireman. I drove a deuce and a half water tanker that was older then I was.
