I'm sure there's going to be loaner gear there. Just ask roger. If not, I can loan him some!
Force recon association? I'm certain he's already contacted them about this one too.
One of my reenactor buddies is running a vietnam era USMC Recon School, for USMC Reenactors.
It's going to be in Eastern Washington state, and he needs period radios and vehicles to attend.
Specificially;
1 cargo truck (2.5 ton or 5 ton)
1 or two MUTTs (or M38A1)
Anything else for static...
Myself + one other (often my girlfriend) lifting the "light" end can move the tub on the foor, or lift onto a low trailer. It takes 3 people to lift it back onto the jeep. Me + my girlfriend + my 58 year old uncle.

I spent a year looking for a tarp for my M116A2, and I found one by chance on my interstate travels. I did find a new manufacture online, who wants $900+ for thiers. I'll see if I can find that info for you.
