Any military vet like myself over the age of 40, calls these trucks a deuce and a half and a 5 ton. These trucks were everywhere on military bases (especially Army and Marines) during the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Tommy standing around thinking "Golly gee, Dallas is higher than a gosh darn kite!!"

[mzinns]

I have met plenty of guys like Dallas, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and high energy. I don’t get the judgy comments.

Love this video. I had a military license for all of these models back in the day. Tommy needs to drive an original Deuce and a half M35A2 model with no power steering. Then let him put a deuce and half trailer on the back and have him try to back that trailer into a parking spot without jack knifing the trailer. It would be entertainment at it's best.

[dalejones]

What a great idea for a video. This series will be so fun. I can't wait to see what one of these will do off and on road. Great idea guys

This dude is tweaking out of his gourd.

Drove a 5 ton from Gieblestadt Germany to Tuzla, Bosnia in 1997. 2 days. 14 hour days. 2nd day was with a blown seal, blowing black smoke. By the time we got to Tuzla Main, the power was so low, it could barely get over a speed bump. Dubbed "the Crippled Chicken".

civilians looking at a deuce and a half or 5-ton for off-roading: "sweet"
former military guys remembering 8 hour convoys on rough roads: "never again"

I have done a fair amount of business with Boyce and they are top notch people to work with. They will treat you right.

[Bill-vbik]

Nothing like hugging oneself and stuffing ears under hat to say i do drugs

[jamesbombed]

Awesome! I've been contemplating a bobbed truck from Boyce for Can't wait!

[BlueDuallyx]

I like how Tommy is amazed at the price and forgets its military surplus that even brand new barely gets out of its own way and struggles to maintain 55mph. Some of the larger farms up in Idaho switched to using surplus trucks for getting spuds and sugar beets out of the field, screaming for all they are worth for miles to get up to 40mph. Yeah they will go anywhere as long as you have a week to get there.

[dalececil]

Good job hanging in there with the interview, Tommy. I would have bailed five minutes in. That guy would drive me nuts.

[robertjohnson]

Wow what a awesome video I didn't know this company even existed glad that you guys bring it to light. Cat can't wait to see the finished truck

[justinstiff]

Check back in a few months😊.... 2 years LOL he better hustle on TFL's truck everybody's watching now

[-_-_-_-]

Dudes ears are tucked so tight in his hat he’s shouting cause he can’t hear himself 😂

[jeffcarter]

Cool! Can’t wait to watch you all test drive it.

[MarkRVillano]

I know that many people buy vans to customize and turn into RV's because of their size and gas mileage. But if a small footprint and decent MPG's aren't deal breakers, buying and using one of these refurbished military trucks as a platform looks like a lot better option; especially for extended off grid excursions. And as a hedge against the Zombie Apocalypse, these bad boys would roll right over them as if they weren't even there.

[johnjapuntich]

In 1989 I drove a deuce and a half down a mountain road in Korea with no breaks! I engine breaked the whole way down...Thought several times that the engine would blow but she held together until I made it to the bottom of the mountain and could pull over. That was a nerve wracking 15 minutes!

This is an AWESOME TRUCK !!!! Yay Andrey for buying this! It can go anywhere. It is also big enough to put a custom camper on back that has EVERYTHING you need for travelling in high style (aka Glamping!) For about $15, 000 you hire someone to weld a custom camper frame out of 6061 Aluminum Box frame with 3/16th inch thick aluminum sheet on the entire outside and fully sprayed inside and out with Line-X UV resistant version truck bed liner coating in any colour you want. After that frame-build, you and your family can do a multi-Weekend project to outfit the inside with full -40C winter-rated insulation (I would use Rockwool!) and modern camping gear!

Put in a combo hot-water Toilet/Shower, Coleman 4-burner propane cooktop, king-size bed up top/front with Ikea Foam mattress (VERY comfortable!). Then add in retractable dining table and seating with cushions. Put in dimmable LED lighting in Red (i.e. to save your nightsight under dark conditions!) and bright white.

A nice combo fridge/freezer, hot-water sink and a large fresh water tank and blackwater tank, a well-insulated 5000 watt propane generator, a 3000 watt Li-Ion battery pack with rooftop solar panels for off-grid electricity, two of the 100 lbs propane tanks for fuel storage, multiple electric ceramic space heaters, huge air conditioning unit. Add in Starlink internet, 65 inch OLED TV, small form factor ruggedized industrial Windows 11 computer, playstation/xbox consoles and put in a touchscreen AM/FM/DAB infotainment/navigation system, a combo VHF/Shortwave/CB/FMRS/FPRS radio transceiver console. Put in lots of storage cubbyholes and use every cubic inch of space to store something or for putting in some more camping-comfort items and goods Do all this and you are SET for awesome OFF-ROAD GLAMPING!

This could be an AWESOME custom camper project vehicle!
