I have two sets of the poles, and if I ever get the time I plan to lay them out in order to provide the details. As far as the canvas sides go, I only have one complete set. I was able to make contact with the OEM for the US Gov. but they were quite proud of them. In the range of $750 per piece...
With 100% certainty, those items in the last two pictures are indeed the supports for the expansible body that would have been on those trucks.
I do have an early TM for the entire series of expansible/expandable bodies, both truck and trailer mounted. Unfortunately, I have been unable to...
The LST 325 will be stopping in Chester Illinois September 16-18, 2011. We (the town) are planning to have a Historical Military Vehicle display and WWII Living Camp coincide with the ships' visit.
I have been thinking this would be a good opportunity for some of the SS members to bring our...

Spent some time today hunting down the yard that received the truck only to find out that even though they cut the truck as soon as they got it, some parts were still there. In short, the manager of the yard said that he did not have the time to sell the individual parts that may be left over...
From what I have been able to gather from old Bucyrus-Erie records, there were two government contracts for the 22B, one in 1951 and another larger one in 1968. All of the later machines were diesel powered while the early contract machines were powered by Chyrsler 377 cid flathead six cylinder...
Before I got into MVs full time I was always on the hunt for old construction equipment (like the 1951 Bucyrus-Erie 22BM that is patiently awaiting my attention again someday) but that stuff really started to dry up in 2001-2008. I recall watching three old draglines (a Lorain, a BE and an old...
I have been attempting to acquire a local M123A1C for over a year now. The owner had set a price in the spring of '10, but quickly changed his mind and decided to keep it as parts for another running M123A1C he owns and uses as in a civilian (haulage) role. I mentioned that if he ever changed...
Looks like a decent truck, not too bad a price if it is as described.
We all started somewhere, and this site has helped quite a few of us get that start. Years ago I bought my first multifuel 270 miles from home for a similar price. Mine started, but would not drive very well (I hauled it...
One of my 5 tons has that kit installed and it is in very good condition. I had always planned on making patterns from it, but time always seems too short for some reason...
