    M56

    No M56 is the long wheelbase chassis used for R2, V41,XM142, and the long wheel base pick up was called the M283.. :) Had to dig the book out to get it straight myself. Maintenance truck is the V41 later to become the M201.

    M56

    M56 should be the long wheel base chassis. It was made into different vehicles like the R2 crash truck.

    Racoons make good summer sausage. Mix in some muskrat and venison to kill the stink. The pelt is now a Davy Crockett spy hat complete with built in digital camera. Gymp! You did contribute ! The power train might be a 4BT I have collecting dust or maybe a 360V8. I wish I could find a NV4500 that...

    My first power wagon

    Welcome to the disease!:drool: They will pile up fast in the yard and you will look twice at every possible sleeping spot, clump of steal, or patch of OD for a old MV to save. Put a post in the transportation needs section here on Steel Soldiers. The SS train has many rails and tends to travel...

    My first power wagon

    If that truck has been sitting for 20 years I recommend dumping trans fluid or Marvin Mystery oil down each cylinder and let her sit for a few weeks. She is probably froze up..

    My first power wagon

    Good beds can be found and depending on what you want to spend Midwest Military makes a complete floor replacement that in my opinion when you add up labor and materials to try and do it yourself is a good price. I can't believe I forgot about the g741 site! Sorry Robi!.. Lots of very...

    WC Identification

    I will do some more scraping to double check those numbers. I will also measure the wheelbase. Pretty sure it is a WC51. It has a M37 cab retrofitted to the WC drive line and frame. I call it baby Frankenstein:)
