Hi guys. It is street legal although I don't have tags now I could. So a man sized beer run is certainly possible.
And yes it will run on most anything that burns. It came with a list of fuel mixes that in wartime can be used to run the truck and possibly save your butt. A list of combinations of fuels that could possible be scavenged during a life and death situation. All gasoline was best for sure but there was a list of extenders to make what gas you had go farther. I don't have it here but it was all to make 100 gallons of fuel like 30 gal. of cooking oil with 70 gal of gas or 45 gal of lamp oil with 55 gal of gas or even 65 gal of diesel with 35 gal of gas. You get it.
This Stalwart has only 680 miles on it, powered by a BIG Rolls Royce straight 8 gas motor. On a certain date the Britches Army became "an all diesel" force. They sold everything that was gasoline powered no matter how new or low mile or low hour it has.
The bed is all aluminum so one guy can put that gate up or two guys can remove or install it.
And this baby is water tight but it is so big that the haul will condensate a gallon or two in a day. It does have a factory bilge pump. Must pump 50 gal/min Yowee.
