Military Trucks And More
Mark Boyce will sell you a bobtail deuce and a half or sell you a kit, and you can bobtail it yourself, cutting it down from a 6-WD to 4-WD (sells for $798). If you need a heavy-duty axle for tough conditions, he can sell you that, too. Boyce Equipment has been around for 40 years, and it’s still a lot younger than some of the stuff they sell.
“We are still buying and selling WWII and Korean War equipment as well as stuff from 1998 or newer,” says Boyce, who grew up in the business. “We often get big beautiful trucks that don’t even have 10,000 miles on them.”
While rebuilt military trucks is a big part of Boyce’s business, so is selling parts, especially axles. The company puts military axles under stock trucks. They also modify the axles.
“We harden the shafts, build brakes to go with the pinion on top of the differential, and replace the drum-style brakes with disc brakes on the hub,” says Boyce. “We can also set them up with rear steering, building our own hydraulics and customizing gear ratios for them.”
Boyce reworks military trucks for just about any use. The company found a good market selling them to potato farmers in sandy soils of the Pacific Northwest. And they sell Korean vintage axles for use underground in coal mines.
“Miners like them because the front axle is a closed knuckle design, so coal dust doesn’t get in,” says Boyce. “They’re also popular for unusual equipment like walnut tree shakers.”
“We’ll give you an exact list of everything you get, down to the lug nut that holds the steering wheel in place,” says Boyce. “We run into people who’ll underprice us, but our customers know we’ll be here and that we do what we say we’ll do.”
