Yeah the boat kind of stands out in a yard of green vehicles, the fact that it's beached in one spot doesn't help either. Still, I couldn't pass it up for the price. Since I sold the bridge truck I'm basically in the boat and step deck for the cost of moving them. Maybe one day I'll have the...

:ditto: You got a pretty good deal on it.

It doesn't appear to be made from either the 3/4 ton m101 series, or from a 1/4 ton like the m416 or m762. I guess if an m101a2 and an m762 were combined it'd look kind of like that.

According to my m756 notes the NSN for that block is 3940-00-151-6769. It's used with the rear winch on the truck which is the same winch found on the front of 5 ton trucks, rated at 20,000lbs. However unlike the 5 tons the pipeline trucks use 1/2" cable instead of 5/8". I'd say they're good...

Looks like the ones used on the m756a2 pipeline truck.

Since I bought the LCVP I've been trying to find out how it ended up in VT. The previous owner had passed away about 2 years ago and his son didn't know where it came from, it just showed up in their yard in the mid to late 1990s. The yard that I work out of has been a military surplus yard...

Nice. Looks like the older m107a2 trailer with the newer stainless m149a2 tank.

There's also the larger turbo that showed up before the "c" or "d" turbos. My 1973 or 74 had one, I'm guessing it was used on the factory turbo trucks before the others were upgraded. It has a large dataplate on it so it's easy to identify. Since as far as I know "c" and "d" are made up names...

I'll be at the NJ show. The actual days of the show are April 21 and 22. Here's the link to the info thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176026-MTA-2018-OFFICAL-SHOW-THREAD-Info-buy-Sell-trade-Talk-All-)

M211 hardtops are completely different. I wouldn’t bother trying to modify one to work, it would be too much work for me.

Yep, it should be a 1.5" socket. Left side should have left hand threads unless someone changed something (which I've had happen). They'll probably be marked with either an L or R.

I'd be surprised if mine was at more than 50 foot pounds. Left hand threads as stated. Class 12.9 Size looks to be an m16x1.50, about 30 millimeters long not counting the head.

I'll try to remove the bolt from my parts generator today. How do we know it's left hand thread again? I don't want to break it by starting off the wrong way with a stuck engine. I'll look closely to see if it's marked of course.

CUCVs use 12v spade plugs.

Here’s the info in the corner: I’d scan the whole book if I could, although I’m sure most of the info is the same as the Army books.

From the 1987 USMC camoflage painting manual: I haven't seen any other reference to window covers like these so I'm not sure if they're meant to roll up like the above picture, but it's a related idea.

Welcome from Colchester. For the death wobble I'd look at the kingpins as well as the steering stabilizer. A new stabilizer on my truck seems to have stopped my deathwobble issue, I'm still planning on taking a look at the kingpins in the near future. One thing to check for the hazards is...

You install the plug if you're fording the truck.
