Recovery Day! Well, we did it! We recovered the M756A2 today! My brother, Chad, and my dad helped me load a ton of tools, fluids, etc... in the pickup this morning and then we headed out to the storage yard where the pipeline truck has been sitting for the last 16 years. We last had the truck...

I reserved six camping spots at Trailhead this morning. Five of them are smaller spots and one is a large group spot. They are marked in blue on the attached map. They are all right next to each other and are located right next to the access road to AOAA. That should give us room for 20-25...

We are a little over two months away from rally time! Please post up if you guys are interested in attending. Also, please let me know if you are interested in camping onsite or if you are going to stay down the road in a local hotel. Thanks!

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use your M35A2 at AOAA because it’s a soft top truck. I know it seems silly because it’s not like a hard top would save you if you flipped it, but that’s the rule. Your HMMWV would be fine as long as the factory B-pillar “roll bar” is installed. Hope you will...

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Scott!!

I ordered a couple of t-shirts last Thursday for me and my brother. They showed up on Tuesday, so I was pleased with the order fulfillment speed. The tees are Hanes tagless, and are nice and heavy duty for wrenching on MV’s or just wearing around town. To get some 20th Anniversary gear of your...

That’s one cool FUG! Has anyone asked you about the Steel Soldiers magnet yet?

Everything you need to know is in the -10 manual. It lists all of the model numbers and even has drawings of all of the them. There’s a ton of other info in there and it is required reading for all owners of M939 trucks. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lkhvv9xs8j71cqc/9-2320-272-10.pdf?dl=0

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Dave!

Cool! Next time you see him, ask if he has any pictures of his old truck. It would be really neat to find a guy who used to operate this truck back in the day.

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Robert!

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Josh!

Well, I would start shopping for a comm system. I don’t think any amount of insulation, noise deadening material, etc... will be enough to overcome the exhaust stack right next to the cab, the roar of six big super-single tires, and the clattering/whistling Cummins on the other side of the firewall.

Love the vintage pics. Thanks for posting, Jon. I didn’t realize the Seabees used so many pipeline trucks, but it makes sense if you think about it. That’s really cool that Keith’s is so close numerically to mine. I wonder if they were attached to the same unit at some point?

Check out the brass Navy data plate for this truck. I’m wondering, given the scarcity of these pipeline trucks, if this was one of the only examples registered by the USN. Have any of you guys seen another Navy M756A2?
