I was right back in the mid 80s. By 87 the last of them were gone. Nowadays most of the guys have never heard of the term "deuce".

Interesting to note that when the old M135s were retired in the mid 80s, they ranged from 29 to 33 years old. The MLVW fleet is now 31 to 32 years old and the replacements for the regular force trucks has still not been chosen yet as far as I know. They could well hit 38 by the time the new vehicles are fielded.

Coming in behind them is the HLVW, now at 25 years old. They were great trucks in their day, but are really showing signs of their age now.
