    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    We painted a few more things today like the hardtop, seat frames, and windshields. Also the block for the rear anchor the block for the front winch and some bridge plate pieces with some vintage surplus paint in the right color. Also, as I expected this truck does not have lockers...

    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    Removed the passenger door and cut out a small amount of rot, and then forgot to take pictures of it welded up. Prepped the front of the cab protector, the back of the cab and the interior for paint. Semi gloss OD, my brother did a lot of the painting. Won a lot of 8 of the correct blocks...

    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    That's one of the nice things about it, it's not something you see everyday and it's also more useful than a regular cargo truck for most situations. Most likely the bed floor will be a type of oak.

    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    Yesterday evening and today we removed the seats, the convoy lights, spotlights, and a couple other small things Removed the headache rack to make painting the winch and the back of the cab easier. Also removed all of the wood floor since it's a bit rotten.

    Anyone have any info on this type of military trailer?

    It's worth $500 all day, I would pay quite a bit more for it you need to.

    Welcome from Colchester. I've got a couple CUCVs, they're great trucks (if you don't mind doing a little work on them once in a while).

    MTA Swapmeet 2016

    I'll be arriving on Friday. I can bring the stuff below if paid for before the show, some of the stuff I'll be bringing anyway (but not necessarily at the prices listed below). For cargo covers I've got a new vinyl 14ft 5 ton camo, as well as a used 5 ton camo (needs a patch I think) I've...

    My 1988 McGraw Pioneer Tool Trailer

    m416 fenders are closer in design to the fenders on the older short body tool trailers but they are not a match for either. They should work but they will sit higher up if mounted even with the bottom of the frame. If you cut them at the corners and flattened them out a bit they might work good.

    Help identify this trailer

    Here's a picture of a very similar trailer. This one is also an m416a1 coverted to haul a generator; I'm not sure if it was converted by the military or not. This one had a 1000lb mep-002a on it which is too much weight for this frame, broke some welds on the hitch and bent the a-frame a bit...

    Help identify this trailer

    It looks to me like it started out as an m416a1 judging by the surge brake and hubs. The fenders also have bolt holes where they were bolted to the tub. I think the only manufacturer was Parkhurst starting in 1978.

    Anyone know what this might be from? (SOLVED)

    I believe that is for a 5 ton with a dropside bed.

    Rotating Pintle Hook Question....

    The pintle hooks from CUCVs (except most m1031s), HMMWVs, m37b1s and more rotate and use the same 4 bolt pattern as the small non rotating hooks like you find at tractor supply.

    The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

    Yesterday we started the brackets for the tackle block used at the back of the truck. Here's the finished block next to an original we borrowed from Keith. Should work good. We're in the market for a set of 2 stake pocket adapters in the unlikely event anyone has some to sell, we could build...
