Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Well technically they aren't, at least I've never seen them stored there on a dump truck. That's just an idea I had, I've got quite a few of the short metal uprights I could use and that seemed like a good place to store them (and keep from damaging them).I didn't realize the bows were stored in that manner, many thanks!
The GMC tailgate is pretty straight but looks to be getting a little crusty at the welds/seams. I would like to keep it with the bed at least until I figure out what I'll do with the whole bed setup, but I'll let you know first if I decide to sell it. Another m59 owner mentioned to me that he knew where NOS tailgates were, maybe he'll chime in or I can ask if he'd be willing to let you know if there is an extra he doesn't need. I'm sure SS members could get one moved across the country pretty easily.The tailgate on that GMC looks in okay shape. I got no way of getting it here if you were of a mind to sell it. It's a lot better shape than mine.

Probably an "Air-Force" deuce. My 1952 REO M35 was that color too.

It's interesting that's there is some blue on the PTO. The window frames and at least one of the original headlight doors were strata blue.
It happens to the best of us!I've got blue parts in various places.
