I am going to do some paint work now , and still not decided on the color. Not sure if to go with the old olive drab or the newer mat green, al existing between 1965 and early 1973. Definitely NOT camo
Does somebody has pictures of a restored 1965-1967 5-ton truck with original 24079 Olive...
Reviving old thread for new evidence
Reviving this old thread on color and marking for new evidence.
It is now completely sure that the truck is from between 1965 and 1967, based on
The Hood Number, which is a registration number which STAYS WITH THE TRUCK THROUGHOUT ITS LIVE CYLCE
That...
Going through my old threads, found these references to the same job.
Just to help others looking at this, two earlier threads on this for the deuce and the five ton. The write-ups are great.

For those with verrrryyyy deeeeeeep pockets in love with very big stuff.
Close to the Dutch army training grounds, they bought up a lot of surplus stuff, then switched partly to cranes. Boy, those cranes are HUGH.
Not sure if you...
Germany - Lots of pictures and some parts as well
Germany - Army Military Surplus
Not sure how active the site still is. The pics section seems a bit dead, not actualized since 2014
The shop seems alive, but not sure, check it out first before ordering.

I checked the .. 20P for the M39 and the 809 series. The 809 TM is better and more detailed than the M39 one, no problem finding the stuff you mentioned there.
Great thread, just when I need it, but NOT ENOUGH PICTURES..
Driver side is the first I will tackle to check the breaks, no evidence of leaking seals. Will also replace the socks with zipped ones.
A few questions, because I am in the Czech Republic, and no US truck part suppliers near me...
Fellow European Steel Soldiers.
Please, if you are mentioned on this member list, also make a comment on the salvage yards and parts suppliers thread. I feel lonely there and its empty with ONLY Dutch suppliers until now. No providers in Germany?
This way we know where to get parts or...
Our M51 A2 from 1965 (overhauled 1973) is a Dump Truck W/W; Garwood 20 000 lbs. Unfortunately, the winch assembly was partly broken and without cable.
Some questions therefore.
Above is how I bought it in 2010, with details of where some kind of guiding system - rollers were broken off...
Dutch M51-52 combo runs again
This time I will jump in early as well; starting to work on the truck again too.
My M51 A2 W/W also usable as an M52 A2 W/W.
Thanks for the comments, which will bump the thread, but we need replies from the other European members with additional suppliers in Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, Belgium etc etc.
Do you have some pics of the latest 5-ton version in action? Would love to get one, but shipping to the Czech Republic would be killing. Besides, we start work on the drums this week. However, the truck is now at the blacksmith forge workshop of my son, so we should be able to copy some of your...
Seeing how much responsive members we now have in Europe, I started a thread on European parts and salvage yards providers. Please mention your supplier there as well, so we can help each other with finding parts and keeping the hobby blooming in Europe.
Other thing: anybody member of a...
