sweet....wonder how much shipping would be to Bama?No way would I drive it that far!He says he also has the bridge to go with it...Sweet.....Imagine how fun that would be at the local boat ramp!Back down teh ramp,drop the bridge,and take off.......
It was a pontoon bridge.....each truck carried a section which was launched by backing into the water.
The pontoons were hooked together into floating sections.
Other trucks carried small boats that were used to push the sections around and to open and close the bridge if there was traffic on the river.
The beds tilted like a rollback truck and some were equipped with winches to pull the sections back up on the truck.
All and all a pretty cool truck but with dual tires on it it was overwidth for public highways.
Havn't seen the pics, but if it is an M139, it is a very large and heavy flatbed w/ steel rack sides and a rear roller. The bridge was in sections and just pulled off or on to the truck by another trucks winch or with an M62/543. Attached pic is of our spare truck w/ additional body off the now water truck.
