WWII trailer from Dry Branch GA to Oshkosh WI

[dogtags]

Military Veterans Museum and Education Center in Oshkosh, WI just purchased this WWII Fuel Servicing 2,000-gallon Type F-2 Semitrailer. It is located at the GSA yard in Dry Branch GA. It needs to be moved out of their yard within 3 weeks (by Nov 17th, 2017).

Weight is estimated at about 8,000 lbs. It is about 270" from nose to rear bumper, 96" wide, and 102" tall when sitting level.

The GSA employee says he has a forklift and will help load out. We have equipment up here to unload.

Good eye to catch what that is. I saw it on GSA but did not make the connection. Will be an incredible museum display next to a warbird.

Thanks for the kind words. We already have the Autocar tractor to haul the trailer. We’ve been looking for a trailer for a few years so we are very happy this one popped up.

It will be the star of the Warbirds Living History Group encampment once finished. Here is a quick pic of our CCKW refueler hailing troops out to a photo shoot.

Military Veterans Museum and Education Center (Oshkosh WI) purchased it today from GSA. It is saved.

I could probably handle this within the time frame. Shoot me a pm with your budget. I can have a local member go look at it to make sure my trailer type wont have an issue.

Fuzzytoaster has two of these on his yard in good shape.

I'm sure you have seen this Heil factory picture.

The trailer arrived in MVMEC's yard yesterday afternoon. Got a good deal on a back haul from a commercial trucking firm.


The trailer in our yard. The tank and frame appears to be steel but all the skirting is aluminum.


Turns out it is a 1941 Standard Steel Works ACRF-2 trailer. Anyone know the difference between this trailer and a F-2?


A historic photo of a Standard Steel Works (SSW) fuel trailer. It is a bit different than the ACRF-2.


I believe this is another SSW trailer. Just another reference pics for what it will look like someday.

Thanks for all who gave us quotes and advice.
