Thanks Mr. Schwartz and everyone who responded. In spite of advice
about commercial trucks, I'm still thinking a deuce or a 5t military.
Why? Because I'm also a preparedness buff and a 6x6 that runs on
multifuels seems like a good bet in a situation similar to post
hurricane Katrina. At this point I'm leaning to a newer model that
might have more parts support and the 5 ton is looking nice.
focusing on? Do they all have air brake circuits?
motorcycles ( http://www.m1030.com ). I just love the sound of a diesel.
