My trailer nicknamed "Tonka" started life as a standard M1061A1 5 ton trailer. I picked it up from @fuzzytoaster and hauled it home. The plan was to eventually dove tail it so I could haul the M37 behind the 5 ton. Well, it sat for a while, then I picked up the M715 and it was forgotten for...

A few of the times we played: Of course, cleaning up... And the new paint job... By no means was this a solo effort... from Dennis being patient and explaining things to me, the Mike's with their enthusiasm and encouragement, Jason hating on house paint, Warren coming...

December 18th 2022 is the day I loaded her up from @Csm Davis place and brought her home... A few pics of her progress in one year As I found her Loaded and ready to go... Working on her And her first paint job as "Dirty Gerty"

Send it... I'm ready... Yes, I own a flamethrower....

For those of us who have a cargo cover, when we try to tie it down we have noticed the "upside down" hook: I started investigating under the truck between the cab and the bed and inside the frame rail is this hook: I ran the rope around the inner hook, then tied it down to the outer hook...

Thanks!

She darkened a little after the paint had time to cure...

And just because..

Yesterday was running to Monoe, La to pick up this: Because I ordered some a few weeks ago and they still hadn't arrived and the tracking only said "moving through network (the parts were supposed to arrive on the 4th), so because I need the truck today and this weekend, I panicked and...

I mean... if we are doing trailers this month... Mainly to steal some of @chucky thunder... 😁😆😅 I'll nominate my M1061A1:

Thanks bud! I have a total of about 600 hours on her now.

I just repainted the M715. I had to go with Valspar instead of Sherwin-Williams as Lowes didn't have the base I need. I swear by Sherwin-Williams but have my doubts about the Valspar. We will see after the first pressure wash... And to say it was BRIGHT when u sprayed is an...

Just for fun, a glamor shot I took this am.

It was a PITA for sure. And I may have to order another set as the paint I used is less than optimal. I have a feeling the first pressure wash and they're going to come off. Your mask did GREAT though!

Added my rank "Terminal Lance" to make her the true work horse of the military... the lowly E-3 😅😆😁 And an antenna... And I'm pretty pleased with the results so far..

When I went with the larger tires, I became quite the tire changing elf. Yes, 100% caution AT ALL TIMES!

The wheels are the old color matched tan. They're getting painted today along woth thr pioneer tools, and a little something something is being added today too...

The green is a little bright, I couldn't quite nail the green I wanted, bit I think it looks good.... almost like a truck from the old "Toy soldiers" kits we got as kids, where everything was that same green.. 😁🙄

I did! And I'm not completely done yet, still have some to add, but I was 10 hours into the day and losing light..... Today I'm going to attempt the rank mask...

Touched up the paint today...
