    Having followed a couple of conversions of both the deuce and a half and the five ton version, I'd probably go with deuce and a half. Some states require you to get a CDL to drive the 5 ton and the deuce can be found with a multi-fuel diesel that expands your fuel options. Check the Steel Soldiers forum for more information than you can handle on these vehicles.

    Definitely cool, but huge, expensive, and difficult to move safely/quietly.

    Go for reliability and capacity. If you are scooting out of town due to natural disaster, the more your vehicle can carry, the better. In a situation like that, everyone's nerves are beyond frayed because in some situations, people realize they will be returning to nothing more than a concrete slab, if that, so if you just happen to own a school bus, that'd be ideal as you could put a lot of important things in it and take them to safety with you. Hurricane evac, notice number of vehicles on opposite side of highway:

    Ugh, only did 3 years in Florida but remember those hurricane evacs. Amazing how many people waited until inside the 24-hour point to bug out then got all pissed off about ParkingLot-95 and the fact they couldn't locate a motel or budget hotel with vacancies ...

    Those that fail to plan, plan to fail.
