Any photo's of an M51 with rear cargo cover fitted?

M35A2 · Apr 2, 2006

Has anyone got any photo's of the M51 with the rear canvas cover fitted? I am interested to see what it looks like, as there is one for sale in the UK, but the pictures I've seen don't show the truck with the cover on.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Cheers

Andy

I did a google image search under several parameters and didn't find a pic. Maybe someone has one in their collection.

A standard cargo cover will NOT fit a dump bed. Notice how the canvas is tailored to fit snuggly over the cab protector (headache rack)

This is actually a M817, but the bed is the same.

Thanks so much for the pictures Junkyard wars crusher.

But I have a VERY, VERY funny feeling. Where did you get the photo of the M51 at the show?? That show is the War and Peace show at Beltring.

I have just looked at the photo of the truck for sale and you wouldn't believe it.

THE PHOTO YOU SENT ME IS OF THE VERY SAME TRUCK THAT IS FOR SALE.

I can't believe it. Have you got any more???

Andy,

Look just above each of the pictures. Those are the links to the websites where the pictures are found. I don't believe there are any more of that particular truck, but you can have fun browsing around if you want. :wink:

It's not my website, but there are a lot of great pics.

Thanks for the link, JWC. I look forward to looking at the pictures.

I thought there was a thread floating around here that asked for an M817 picture with the cover installed, but this thread was the only one I could find. I just found these 2 shots online, thought I'd add them.

if anyone knows the thread that was specific to the M817 covers, a link would be most appreciated.

Not a M51, but I did take a few photos of Bruce's 900 series tipper with the fitted cover back when he had it at Aberdeen (2004). One of these days I'll take photos of the fitted cover mounted on my M817 (most likely when I put it on for the 2008 East Coast Convoy...).

Anyway, a teaser photo is here with the rest on my website at:

Cabell: I'm glad you took pics of my old dump with the cargo cover on it, because I never did. One of these days, I want to get the cargo cover kit on my current M929.

CGarbee · Feb 25, 2008

Bruce,
I was parked in the next row over and spent the entire weekend drooling over it... Of course I took a few.

I just wish that I had taken more...
Current plans are to drive my M817 up to Aberdeen this year, with the top and troop seats in place. If you bring your M929, we can let folks compare and contrast. I'm also working really hard to get my XM708 done in time to bring it up as well...

BKubu · Feb 25, 2008

I really hope to have my M929 there. I might only have the two M925A2s there. I'll have to see. I can't wait to see your M817, though. I really like them and wish I never sold mine.

That engine in the truck is a rebuild from Cummins . Painted black!

Hey clinto (and all),

The very first post I made above (dated APR 3,2006) is very confusing because most of the pictures are missing due to the great server crash. Originally, there were many pictures posted and the links were there to serve as credit to the sources denoted by the links.
Additionally, at least one of the links no longer works and another of the links has been changed/updated. aua

Also, the original poster (Andy M35A2) asked for M51 pics, but then mentioned that the truck he was looking at was the same as the 817.
Still confusing . . . ? :cookoo:

Anyway, the good news is at least this link seems to still work, - http://www.m201.de/armytrucks/5-ton/m817/index.html
with lots of canvas pics if you scroll down and it is a M817 !!

Also, regarding 5-ton dump trucks:

If I am not mistaken, the M51 / M51A1 / M51A2 share the same bed as the M817, so the canvas would be the same also.

Not sure, but I believe that the 900 series dump trucks have a very similar bed with just a taller headache rack (bolt-on cab protector) to clear the wider cab.

Bruce, (or anyone?) confirm this?
