As a collector hobbyist, I have no training available. Anyone know of any kind of deuce/5t training that a civillian can get into? Even a manual to read would be a good start. I started this thread a few months back but it died out before we could locate any training materials.
It would also be interesting to get a copy of the GAO report that detailed the safety problems on these old trucks. Jim
