Welcome from Leavenworth, KS. That data plate says manufactured in 1952. Sure is a very early M44. I'd also guess it's a hacked up V-17. If it was an original M756 they wouldn't have had to fabricate a bed and headache rack. The winch and location looks original and I'm not aware of another...
Anyone want to purchase a small airforce? I suppose we could all chip in and put together a steelsoldiers airforce, all for the token sum of about $200k. Perhaps we could convince a couple of members to restore the aircraft in their garages on the cheap too. But then we might need a bigger rally...

Mission complete, no issues. I did learn that Riley isn't as far as I thought. If anyone needs a Riley pickup in the future I may be able to help. Too bad they're only open until 1500 during the week. I have early days from time to time so I'd accommodate if I could.
