I haven't updated this thread for a while since nothing too exciting has been happening with the pipeline truck. Some pics of it lifting in the yard this year: Also here's some closer up pictures of the trunnion used to join the gin poles together. There are at least a couple trucks out there...

Nice weather today, I only took a few pics though.

It would probably tow great the whole way but putting it on a trailer is a good idea. Although the m448 might be in better shape than what u-haul will send you down the road with.:-P

The new "Powerking" tires are on and look pretty good. Probably a vast improvement over the old ones which were getting a little cracked (not to mention the one that was shredded).:)

One week to go. :tank:

Parts truck number 2 got brought home this evening, an 87 k10. It's a real beauty.[thumbzup] Actually it's a bit rough:lol:, but it has more parts I'll need for the NV4500 swap like the hydraulic clutch pedal and steering column.

I'll be vending at the show Friday and Saturday. Some of the stuff I can bring: m49 gun ring $2000 .50 cal cradle $300 heavy tow bar with 3 sets of feet $600 medium tow bars and chain clamps (no feet) $250 bar with 5 pins, $75 for chain clamps (unused) long wheelbase 5 ton cargo covers...

It will fit your m35a2 just fine.

I haven't done much work on my CUCVs lately but I did pick up an extremely rusty newer Chevy... ...with an NV4500 overdrive transmission.:-) I guess I'm going to look at installing that in my m1028 at some point. Running down the highway without the engine screaming would be nice.

Your batteries are a bit low to begin with. I would start by charging and load testing your batteries first. Welcome to the site by the way.

I've got a brake controller wired in on my CUCV and a class IV hitch. You definitely notice the lack of power with the 6.2 but it's not terrible on flat ground. I wouldn't tow much more than a pickup truck on a flat bed, but that's just me. The official military rating is only 3000lbs on the...

As far as I know the only other vehicle that used the same dump bed as the m215 was the REO/Studebaker m59. However the stock cab protector on the m59 is a little shorter in height than the one on the m215 (at least for the two I compared). I'm not sure if an m59 cab protector will work on an...

I picked up a trailer today that I strongly suspect is a USAF trailer for moving either equipment or munitions around a paved area. I'm guessing it originally had an axle in the front like a hay wagon but that was cut off and a regular tongue welded on, probably by a fire department. I'm sure...

Thanks guys, looks like those are the way to go.

Has anyone found a good tire to use on these trailers? The one in my yard could use 3 new ones. It has 7.50r15s on it now.

G749 is kind of the series of the truck. There are various different trucks in the G749 family that are based on the same design. m211 has dual rear wheels with a wide bed with a flat floor. m135 has single rear wheels in the back with a narrower bed with wheelwells. m215 is the dump truck...

Just bumping this thread to see if anyone else has seen one of these or has an idea of its use in service. It's a 1958 and made by Raytheon. The time period has me thinking it may be related to the Hawk missile (entered service in 1959). The m390 trailer is used with Hawk missiles too. It...

Welcome to the site. Looks like that’s the bed from an m715 truck so it’s a homemade trailer.

They're not perfect but they're on the truck at least. There is supposed to be one more brace on the top of each one, I've got to reweld the one I've got then make another for the passenger side.

Yep. Should have just rolled with it instead of starting this thread. Now everything will probably go terrible. At least it would for me.
