The link above has been working off and on. If it doesn't work for you here's the table of known boats listed under that contract. FY68 Contract for 104 36-ft. Landing Craft, Personnel (Large), 36PL-681 to 68104 959227 36PL-6819...

I'll be watching this thread. I think my boat restoration will be much further down the line if I even keep it. This website has listing of boats with similar hull numbers, listed as being built by Marinette Marine. If you have something saying yours was built by Uniflite I'd be interested in...

Cool boat! I put the thread for my 36' LCVP in the member's rides section as there really isn't a good forum for boat info. I believe the number on the back means the following 36 is the length in feet PL is because it's a Landing Craft Personnel Large 68 is the contract year 96 is the boat...

There are running and brake lights on the back in addition to the ground.

Yes, all 4 cargo variants of the m101 can use the same cover. EDIT: Wait, m102a2? Post a picture. Never heard of it.

Even some of the a2 series have these old style headlight insulators. My 1966 m275a2 had them while my 1967 m35a2 had the newer style. I'll need to pick up a set of 12 insulators so if the ones you got from White Owl look good I'll probably give them a try. I haven't found an alternative yet...

Yeah the boat kind of stands out in a yard of green vehicles, the fact that it's beached in one spot doesn't help either. Still, I couldn't pass it up for the price. Since I sold the bridge truck I'm basically in the boat and step deck for the cost of moving them. Maybe one day I'll have the...

:ditto: You got a pretty good deal on it.

It doesn't appear to be made from either the 3/4 ton m101 series, or from a 1/4 ton like the m416 or m762. I guess if an m101a2 and an m762 were combined it'd look kind of like that.

According to my m756 notes the NSN for that block is 3940-00-151-6769. It's used with the rear winch on the truck which is the same winch found on the front of 5 ton trucks, rated at 20,000lbs. However unlike the 5 tons the pipeline trucks use 1/2" cable instead of 5/8". I'd say they're good...

Looks like the ones used on the m756a2 pipeline truck.

Since I bought the LCVP I've been trying to find out how it ended up in VT. The previous owner had passed away about 2 years ago and his son didn't know where it came from, it just showed up in their yard in the mid to late 1990s. The yard that I work out of has been a military surplus yard...

Nice. Looks like the older m107a2 trailer with the newer stainless m149a2 tank.

There's also the larger turbo that showed up before the "c" or "d" turbos. My 1973 or 74 had one, I'm guessing it was used on the factory turbo trucks before the others were upgraded. It has a large dataplate on it so it's easy to identify. Since as far as I know "c" and "d" are made up names...

I'll be at the NJ show. The actual days of the show are April 21 and 22. Here's the link to the info thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176026-MTA-2018-OFFICAL-SHOW-THREAD-Info-buy-Sell-trade-Talk-All-)

M211 hardtops are completely different. I wouldn’t bother trying to modify one to work, it would be too much work for me.

Yep, it should be a 1.5" socket. Left side should have left hand threads unless someone changed something (which I've had happen). They'll probably be marked with either an L or R.

I'd be surprised if mine was at more than 50 foot pounds. Left hand threads as stated. Class 12.9 Size looks to be an m16x1.50, about 30 millimeters long not counting the head.

I'll try to remove the bolt from my parts generator today. How do we know it's left hand thread again? I don't want to break it by starting off the wrong way with a stuck engine. I'll look closely to see if it's marked of course.
