M41 5-ton cargo
I was reading DDoyle's book last night, and it had a small writeup of the early 5-ton cargo trucks. It mentioned that there were M41 cargos (which ran on super single 14.00x20s) and the M54 cargos (which ran on dually 11.00x20s). I have never seen an M41. How many of these were made? Are there any Steel Soldier members out there that have one?

There a rough one at Ft Eustis. That's the only one I've ever seen.

The truck is in fact an M41. The guy got it at a county surplus sale, and has chopped the rear axle out of it. He might sell it if anyone is interested.
Here's pics of the data plate and super sinlge 14.00x20 tires.

I'll get some more pics of it--It's definately a project.
Oh, any luck finding that truck I asked about up there?

Jimbo,
PM Kenny who goes by the name Topo on here. He knows this area way better than I do and he knows where all the trucks are at up here. I have been asking but nothing so far.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see a delivery date on the tag of 1951, and it looks to me like this truck was painted tan CARC at the depot. I don't think any trucks were painted tan CARC in large numbers until around the time of Desert Shield in 1990. You think this ancient M41 served until that time period? Wow....

Yea, you're correct. Lots of early fifties gassers, many freshly re-built came out of Richmond, Va in the early '90s. I'd like to see some bd pics of the truck.

1953 M41 cargo truck
Hi guys,
I am fairly new to the forum,What a great place!!!. A couple of years ago I purchased a 1953 M41 cargo truck w/winch. It has what looks like an original tan camo paint job underneath the recent paint. the truck looks rough but is actually quite solid.There is a pretty good write up in the military vehicles magazine february 2004 pages 72 to 75 on M41 if anyone has it. I will try and post a pic of my truck if I can figure out how to.
Thanks Chris
