Cool! Next time you see him, ask if he has any pictures of his old truck. It would be really neat to find a guy who used to operate this truck back in the day.

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Robert!

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers family, Josh!

Well, I would start shopping for a comm system. I don’t think any amount of insulation, noise deadening material, etc... will be enough to overcome the exhaust stack right next to the cab, the roar of six big super-single tires, and the clattering/whistling Cummins on the other side of the firewall.

Love the vintage pics. Thanks for posting, Jon. I didn’t realize the Seabees used so many pipeline trucks, but it makes sense if you think about it. That’s really cool that Keith’s is so close numerically to mine. I wonder if they were attached to the same unit at some point?

Check out the brass Navy data plate for this truck. I’m wondering, given the scarcity of these pipeline trucks, if this was one of the only examples registered by the USN. Have any of you guys seen another Navy M756A2?

Oooooh yeah. I forgot about that. I had a chance to buy a M125 once, but I didn’t have the cash at the time. Hopefully, I’ll get another chance one of these days.

Yep! I’m totally cool with that!

Was seriously saying the exact same thing this morning!

Great! Hope you can make it. Should be a lot of fun!

Congrats on the new truck! Sounds like you bought a good one! I daily-drove a 1009 for about 8 or 9 years and a 1008 for another year or so. They’re great trucks once you work the bugs out of the 12/24 electric system.

It’s here!! The trunnion is finally here!! Special thanks to Ken aka kennys@wi.rr.com and Bob aka Neophyte for making this happen! I’ll be getting a bunch of detailed measurements for Bob so he can make a CAD file for future reference.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! We’re glad you’re here!

Yes, check out the attached AOAA trail maps. LOTS of trails! I hear ya, brother. I know you’ll be there in spirit.

Welcome aboard! We’re glad you’re here!

Excellent! Would be happy to have your assistance. Thanks!
