You could do it cheaper with a M923 (5 ton) and a custom box to fit the bed. $8000-9000 for the truck and the same for the box. Mileage would still be 6-8 mpg. You could do it with a deuce and be able to slide the box off. Your mileage would be 8-11 mpg. I have thought on this before. But they are big targets. A jeep with an expedition style trailer would be easier and not draw the same attention as one of these, same as a truck with a camper shell or cap. Gas supplies would be the pinch point on this. I admit 1600 miles is nice but by the time you got there you would be stuck, unless your cache area had reserves that had not been touched.
