Honest John Pics

[M1075]

We ended the OKC Convoy yesterday at the 45th Infantry Division Museum. Although it was a little chilly to look over all of the outdoor exhibits, I did snap a few pics of their Honest John to share with everyone.

Great pics. Wish we had a military museum close to home. I don't see the usual 5 ton air breather - is it a modification for the launcher, or typical of IH versions of the 5 ton?

Thanx for posting.

Its a gasser, air cleaner mounted on firewall under hood.

Thanks for posting the pix 1075 - now there is something I'd like to own.

If you think GL has problems keeping small parts on trucks in their lots - imagine the challenge of a museum - especially one with public access.

Good point DD. I was very appreciative of the opportunity to see this truck in person. I certainly wouldn't be the one to call out missing shackles to the museum curator. They have a LOT of cool stuff, both indoors and out. I need to get back soon and spend a full day there.

OK, a million 'Man Points' to the first person here who converts their 5-ton into one of these. You could easily just put a sheetmetal fabricated rocket on top of the crane on a wrecker. Anybody?
