I'd certainly be investigating why the shear pin didn't protect the front winch. That flaw in a 2 dollar item cost you big bucks. Regards, David Doyle

Your Jeep was built in 1951. Hope this helps! David Doyle MVPA Supply Line editor

What this gentleman has is the real deal, all military all the way - but it is not a M49A2C. It is a Type L-6 750 gallon oil servicing truck built primarily for servicing aircraft for the US Air Force. Relatively speaking - a M108 or M60 would be a common vehicle compared to this one - hence it...

Here is a photo and spec sheet.

I sent those pix to Chris about midnight or so last night, after a REALLY long week. Didn't think to send a pic of Lamar and Jewell's truck. I just sent it to Chris, I'm sure he'll post it soon. The SS trophy and presentation were both First Class! DD

Truck built in 1971 by the General Products Division of Jeep Corp. HTH, David

That's a 1972 M813A1. HTH, David Doyle

Very nice example of a rare truck - have any photos of inside the rear compartment?

I'll be there - and if any of you guys are planning on attending the deuce seminar I am scheduled to present Saturday at 1 PM, an advance head count would help me out. Thanks, David Doyle

Deere and Company keeps extensive records - including photos. They've been big helps to me on three of my projects (two MV books and a Deere book). I bet they can fix you up with info. Drop me an email (NOT PM) and I'll send you the contact info for the archivist. Best wishes, David Doyle

Those appear to be C2 aircraft wreckers - there is a brief chapter about these in my "Heavy Wrecker" book that came out a year or so ago. I'll have them for sale at the MVPA convention (or you can email me and we can work this out). Fred Crismon did a book a few years ago titled "US Military...

I have a couple of thoughts here - I have the greatest respect for Armyman30plusyears, and hope that no one takes offense at what I am about to say. There are people entering the hobby every day (and who have been in the hobby for years) who have no idea what SteelSoldiers is (or what the MVPA...

It is indeed a 1967 Kaiser-Jeep M109A3 chassis, originally powered by a LD-465. The 4K3137 is the registration number - it normally this number does not change during the service life of the truck. The 0232 number is the manufacturer's serial number. HTH, David Doyle

Hmmmm....not a LEO, nor an attorney, but I'd think, if I've got a reciept for the trailer with SN, you could drive up to this fellows house, hook to YOUR trailer, and go home with it. How the fellow that took your trailer gets his trailer is his problem. DD

If we knew where "home" was - some of us may be willing to trade a cargo for the tanker -and perhaps pay a little boot. Regards, David

Well, I've been at Aberdeen - in the room now, sorry I missed Cabell arriving. Got some pics of the southbound serial pulling in earlier today. Hope to see everyone in the AM. I have set up in space Yellow U6. Everybody come by and pick up a free magazine from me. Regards, David Doyle

Although I have compiled the data on literally thousands of deuces, I do not have enough data amassed yet to feel comfortable publishing a "master list" The most common vehicles in the collector market came from the South Bend plant. Those that begin with M are broken out earlier. Those...

General Products Division existed from March of 1970 through March of 1971. Best wishes, David Doyle "Supply Line" is changing - check it out!

I have all those. I'll take a look later today and see if the info you need is there. Regards, David
