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!

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

Hi Randy! That’s awesome! It would be great to have someone who’s familiar with AOAA to help plan trail rides, etc... It would be nice to come up with several options for SS and MVPA members. There may be some guys who just want to cruise the fire roads, others who want to tackle the really...

C’mon, John! Think of the memories you would make driving to PA in a deuce! LOL

Love it! I definitely have Mog envy!

Sounds like a wild, weird project! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it!

LOL, something tells me that my family members would be the only ones wearing them!

Awesome! That’s what this site is all about!
