Might have been easier to just buy a M101 or M416 trailer. Just my two cents.

No.2Diesel is right! The benefit about military trucks, especially the older ones, is that the parts are simple, and can be fabbed up from stock or from other similar parts. Worse comes to worse, you can make a whole new pipeline bed. It will be a LOT of work, but where else you gonna find one?

I never liked the ones that were folding, they cost a lot of money and they looked kinda silly to me, too low to the ground. They are NOT recommended if you do any serious offroading, I've seen a few get folded left/right and bent to **** from hitting berms or rocks, with their price it just...

I think it would be a cool project! But, as you might expect, you are dealing in aircraft parts. New and good used ones bring a small fortune. Finding worn out ones might be a challenge, they tend to get scrapped right away. I'm sure one or two of our members have parts for you, or know of...

I know where one is in the No. VA area, probably for sale. PM me for more info.

Search is your friend - this has been covered before. Is it possible? Yes. Is it safe? No. Can you kill someone easily? Yes. What can you do? Find a friend with more truck than you have.

There was also a thread about powered trailers. Same ideas, same misguided concept.

Back in the day it was common for EVERY vehicle the military owned would have a data plate. I've seen a Cadillac ambulance, a Gen 1 Ford Bronco, and an International Harvester Scout with data plates. Are they more collectable? Maybe. But they were just used as base vehicles, "grocery...

Oh, no. Looks like all the hopes we had about you getting a M756 are going up in smoke. You got what USED to be a M756. Now it's been bubbafied by a fire dept. into a water hauler, and all the pipeline deuce stuff is gone. It will be a PITA to find it all and make it right. Good luck....

I know this is resurrecting an ancient SS thread, but a question: are the VIC-1 cables/control boxes interchangeable with the M981 VIC-4 amplifier box? I have a M981 amp box and the connections look the same as VIC-1 components...

I once had to use a weedeater in a neighbor's yard and there was a section overgrown with kudzu. I cut it all down with the w.e. but 2 months later it was back and worse. I don't know what kills that stuff, but you can scratch off weedeaters. Maybe Agent Orange, not sure. Good luck...

Just wanted to say "thanks!" to patracy, you're doing a great job with the maintenance and upkeep of the site. Whenever something goes wrong, you're right on the job, and site improvements are coming along regularly. Just wanted to say that we all appreciate everything you're doing, you work...

Same for me.

I'm not a fan of the holes - they look kinda weird if you ask me. But, it is your track, you can change it as you wish. Just be advised, when I make my millions, and I buy your track, I'll put it back the way it was. ;)

Here's more info on the command tent I mentioned. Mtn. Gear Surplus Sales I would NOT recommend a GP small or medium in vinyl. The smalls are easy to put up but aren't too big, the mediums are big but are a PITA to set up. Don't ask me about the GP Larges, I had a bad experience.

I had a command tent, it was 11x11 feet, heavy vinyl with separate cold weather liner, vestibule and floor. Easy to put together, but really needs 2-3 people to make it easy to do. Would be great in cold weather, especially with a Yukon stove.

Billett, do you plan on replicating the bumper-mounted chock blocks that were on the original incarnation? I think those were pretty useful for winching ops.

You're such a tease. Glad they are firing, but they are firing blanks. Very, uh, non-exciting. Sorry to rain on the parade. Cannons should be restored to do this with LIVE ammo!

Very good save. They may be harder to use than the newer plastic jerry cans, but nothing beats the look of steel on a restored truck.

I see the winding mech is keyed, can you get an adjustable wrench on there and turn it off in either direction? The answer lies in that piece, otherwise I fear you'll have to use a press or jack and pry apart the frame sides. Could this have been a part that had the frame folded around it at...
