I'll be there Sept 13 to 17. If you haven't picked it up yet and need eyes on it let me know. I might be able to break away from training and take a look.

Thanks jeli and gmayor! I ended up winning a crate of pipeline tools at FLW today. I thought they would go great with my Dad's M756A2. It should make a good Christmas present ;)

Gmayor, it would be great if you could take a look at the lot and give me an idea of how much stuff is there. The listing was a little vague. Imagine that ;) The crate is 6'x2'x2'. I'll have to get some estimates on freight. I'll PM you the details. Thanks!

I don't think so Kenny. Some BII stuff like wrenches, pipe clamps, but no rare stuff like sheaves or a trunion. It'll be cool nonetheless.

Once you determine the weight and dimensions of this - I'll be at FLW the second week of September (in a Buiick) - that could get it as far as Memphis. Won't be heading back to VA until October though.

Just a thought.

RE: Re: RE: Anyone near Ft. Leonard Wood?

I'm about as close as anyone can be to Ft Lost in the Wood. I live on post in the Nice vintage housing.. I know what the box looks like.. Sorta like a Engineer Carpenter's Box, just bigger.. a bit bigger..

George, if I can get away from work, I could help you find the box.

David, If you need help with info .. I could help.. since most of the chemical gear didn't change much from Vietnam to Desert Storm.

Hi Marcus. That would be great if you can help George! I will need to arrange shipping. George knows a local guy that might be able to get it on the back of a truck at his shop. You guys are great!

RE: Re: RE: Anyone near Ft. Leonard Wood?

Well, George had a chance to meet with the GL rep yesterday and he informed George that there is more than just the crate. There are actually more tools and parts that need to be picked up outside of the box. Sheesh. Does anyone have a pick-up close to FLW that could load this stuff up for me? I will gladly pay for time and materials to get it crated or boxed up for shipping. Thanks!!

David, if you need any pics of an M51 inflatable chemical shelter trailer I have a very nice clean original 1968 one that is now in full operation mode. http://www.davidallenracing.com/M51.htm

Here's the pictures. the small yellow clamps weigh 45#, the medium weight 55#, the large probably around 80-100# each. I haven't weighed anything else, been busy repacking and unloading the truck. The big silver rings are part of the pipe cutter setup. Three of the rings have broken handles. The handles are cast aluminum.
