    Bantan trailer differences: mil/civilian

    The first Bantam trailers made after the war, were made from lift over stock. So, yes to all your quistons.

    Fording Kit snorkel

    Boatcarpenter That looks like it, did yours have a cotter key at the bottom to keep the brackets from coming off? The hose on mine is black colored, nasty almost tar coated materail. I picked up 12 of the snorkels today. I will look at my M35 and see if I can make that bracket you have on yours...

    Fording Kit snorkel

    Today, I picked up "what I hope" to be fording kit snorkels. They are the hose, that are attached to a rod that has two sliding brackets that attach to something. Does any one have a photo of how these things are mounted to the truck? Thanks for any help. One of the few, Frank

    Oval thingy below the bed

    I saw several trucks with the lifting bars in place while in the Marines. I am still kicking myself because there were several of the them on the trucks my friend cut up back in January. I did find one of the lifting bars in the pile of scrape and I gave it to Garbee. One of the few, Frank

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    Sorry, forgot to answer your last quiston. The M715 and the M718 are as different as night and day. One is a good size 1 1/4 ton truck and the other is a small little M151 jeep that has had an ambulance "kit" added to it. You might even be able to put a M718 in the bed of a M715. One of the few...

    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    I would bet it is a M715, and the paper work is wrong. Very commom mistake. I would not get that upset about it. If the fire department can, have them re-do the paper work. Show them the photos of a M715. Maybe, on the data plate it has been painted over or damaged and the 5 looks like an 8...
