Hi, That must've been a great fieldtrip! Man that's a great bed. Thanks for posting the pics and contact info, I will see if he is willing to sell parts separately. I should just buy the whole bed but I'm not prepared for the shipping cost. I sent you a private message. Thanks again!

Hi, There's no better way to get attention than to threaten to scrap something uncommon, rare and unique! :p Don't do anything hasty there. My bed and sides are pretty rusty but I would never think of scrapping them just because I'm missing a few parts. I do have a front headboard and front...

Wunderbar! [thumbzup] Excellent fabrication skills, looks great and I like the large outrigger pads with ball swivels for uneven and soft/wet ground. Thanks for that Haacon link. Did you have the lifting legs galvanized? Post some pics here next time you lift it in the yard or out in the field.

Parade Pics Hi, Sunday was a great day to give thanks and remember all that has been sacrificed by our Veteran's from all theaters of war. There was less of an active MV presence and rightfully so being utilized instead for hurricane relief efforts but the enthusiasm from active, retired Vets...

Hi, I'll be there again helping transport disabled Vets and their families in the M923 for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Weather looks to be nice and warm which is a nice bonus considering the recent weather. See ya' Sunday.

Hi, Welcome and congrats on the purchase and good luck with the recovery. Please don't scrap the bed or any of the M756A2 specific parts. Take plenty of pictures of it. I'm sure you'll have plenty of interest in the bed... forum member fredocorleone recently acquired an F.D. modified...

Hi, Welcome to the site WILDBOY6X6. We'd love to see pics of your M756A2. What parts are you missing?

5ton Pipeline Hi, Wow thank you for sharing that Recovry4x4! Great picture. I've never seen that article, I must be missing alot by not getting Army Motors. That's kinda how I was picturing it in my head. Anyone know what Issue No. / Year that article appeared? Thanks again.

Hi, I'd like to see that pic of a 5-ton Pipeline prototype truck Recovry4x4. (I'm sure others would too) That would be neat to see. The same concept I imagine just longer bed/bigger winch and capacity...

More IH M5-H6 Bed Pics Hi, Thank you for the pics. Interesting, haha I can't believe someone would lay down steel plate over existing wood decking without removing the wood first. It looks like they added some c-channel here and there for stake pockets etc. and like you said, in the process...

Cool Truck! Hi, Awesome find mech! If it's not shop built...The bed and winch appear to be from a WWII IHC M5-H6 oilfield Deuce. The beds were manufactured by Tulsa Body Works. Post some detailed shots of the bed and winch when you can, they would be greatly appreciated. I agree about...

Bridge Truck Hi, Yes I agree that it is still a great purchase and the tank can be re-purposed. It still has its transfer case PTO! You have a clean slate to work with and many options. Make the tank skid-mounted so you can remove when not needed. Here's An idea to keep in mind. Since an...

Hi, Wow that blows on the missing components... Congrats on getting that truck though. It looks like the only thing M756A2-specific on that thing is the "weights and measures" dash plaque which is worth it. It looks to be a good foundation to build upon. I was tempted by the listing but...

Toll info Hi, I've touched upon travel costs a few times previously in threads related to travel through the City but this time I'll give some specific data for those not aware. If there is anything wrong about my info, please correct me. There are two governing agencies that oversee Bridges...
