The VTCS m756a2 Pipeline Truck

Thanks guys. The extra headache rack was brought home like that a couple years back. I was told the truck was cut up at a junkyard, someone had bought the winch and didn’t need the rack.

The yellow m108 bed we took off a Ford f600. It was bought for parts for the one that the engine is being removed from. We bought that m108 from John Tennis, who bought it from VTCS in the mid 2000s I believe. It first came to the yard in 1995 as a package deal with my m59 dump, and was owned by another friend before that. It’s a very big project for sure.F130C725-23CC-4EF7-AE9F-CAE71556D9F3.jpeg
Here’s a pic of it in the 90s, courtesy of VTdeucedriver. The pipeline truck is on the very left covered in canvas.

An excellent update, Evil Dr. Porkchop, and the rig looks SO fine:

- Have we seen that Higgins Boat before?!!

WHERE did you get the Higgins Boat, what's that story?!!
Thank you.
I think I posted more pics of the LCVP earlier in this thread. I had a thread on it years ago but like my others it hasn't been updated in quite a while. We bought that in 2017 about 25 miles away, it was too cool to pass up. It was sold in 2019 and is now in Ohio I believe. Hopefully it will be fixed up and used for events like the D-Day reenactment they have out there.
