But the grunts in the line units driving the deuces just toughed it out and went deaf. Because you never knew when you were going to get yanked and put behind the wheel. That's why the army is for the young guys! Oh, and troops are the worst cargo. You should hear them b ithc, every little bump. If you're a bad driver you're in for some $hit when you stop.

The 5 tons have the electric wipers.
I have an electric kit I want to install in one of the deuces.
Been more than a few times I worked the drivers side manually when it stopped working. In the pic below I ran the wipers in an effort to see in a snow storm at -4 degrees temp. It got so cold that day I stopped after moisture in the air lines froze and locked the brakes up and I had to get a heater to thaw them out on the side of the road.
