The 5/4 ton was used to pull it down, and bring it into the quonset for the winter. What is not shown are the dozen or so boxes of parts, some used and some NOS. Goodies like NOS overflow tank, muffler, lights, and mirrors, and plenty more. The truck is currently on ferret tires, but these will soon be exchanged for a set of the STA 10:50X16 that I have saved up in the shed. I didn't even have a project for them...I just bought them cause I knew someday........
In fact, I have been hoarding an original HUP parts manual for the last 31 years, also because I knew one day I would have one of these. Then again, I have been hoarding dozens if not hundreds of manuals.....I won't live long enough to have them all. But I really did want a HUP.
