The 2 1/2 ton has a fond place in the memory of many soldiers. It was/is a simple and rugged vehicle. As Rob mentions, its thirstiness was its biggest downfall. A high cube straight-6 and a lower ratio drivetrain meant drivers had to keep the foot down hard to keep a reasonable speed on the road. That meant full throttle almost all the time.
For a short time I had a dual wheel Deuce with a HIAB crane in Alert. As I recall the starter is a 90-deg rotating lever on the side of the shifter column. I liked the visibility over the hood too. The PTO level as low and near the centreline between the seats.
