When you upload pictures to the site now, it gives you an option to show full picture or a thumbnail in the post. If you hit the thumbnail button when you upload, folks see reasonable sized pictures instead of the monster sized ones. You can click on the small pic in the post and it will open...

He's not the only one who got that same basic idea on seriously modifying a 1028- here is one I found on the internet and saved pictures of back around 2011. Very similar approach to the modifications, but not the same bed. And at least this one has mudflaps. Definitely not original but both...

Thanks. I'd love to see the picture if you can find it! :jumpin: I've found nothing so far myself. But then, it took me four years to find an inservice picture of the Air Force CMT-F trailers Pawnshop and I bought many years ago. ;) And I pulled that light - while the lens is glued on, it...

Regardless of obsolescence or availability of manuals outside the service, if the Marine Corps said distribution is restricted and has not rescinded that, then they are technically still restricted and an active Marine will find himself in very hot water for releasing the Marine Corps manuals...

Okay, digging the square. :) Thanks! Cheers

A very minor thing, but are we stuck with peeping at the avatars through a keyhole? Cheers

This question seems to keep being missed above- What is an M719? Cheers

It certainly looks right on there. How are you mounting it to the frame? Cheers

Here are some in colour, including the pattern for a hard top. The pattern always stays the same, the colours change to suit the environment. At least that was the plan - in the Marines most of our stuff was painted Winter Verdant year round, unless we were in the desert or a snowy...

Not all versions of the manual had all the patterns (which seems a bit silly!). So here is the M151 pattern on its own. ;) Cheers

Something went wrong somewhere! There shouldn't be a 1990 version of TB 43-0147, as it was obsolete by then. Three-colour camo is in TB 43-0219. Try these links to the two manuals - MERDEC View attachment TB 43-0147 camouflage.pdf 383 three-colour View attachment TB 43-0209...

Your link has good stuff in it, thank you. (y) For the MST7G I actually have these, which I sourced off fleabay. Same look as the originals and allow interoperability with my 12v and 24v trucks without swapping anything. I'll use standard military LED tail-lights for the same reason, but I...

TB 43-0147 is the manual that covers MERDC camouflage, it is in the manuals section in PDF format. The colours are as listed in the attachements below. The M151 in your pictures is painted Winter Verdant - Forest Green 34079, Field Drab (the brown) 30118, Sand 30277, and Black 37038 A note on...

I recovered my MST7G trailer from a farmer's cow pasture. I found it a couple of years ago, partially sunk into the ground with a bunch of junk stacked on it, and he finally agreed to sell it to me. First, we got that big ol' pump off the box, then using various jacks and a lot of cribbing we...

Check with Mkcoen, he was making replica cab reinforcement plates a while back, likely has any information you might need. Cheers

Cool. We took a ride on the Saipan in the Atlantic, and the Belleau Wood in the Pacific. USMC to USAF? That must have been quite a change! Cheers

Nice! What boat? That picture in formation looks like Bridgeport? (Definition of helicopters flying formation - two going the same direction on the same day) Cheers

That is one grubby bird! Back in the day, our Delta models got pretty dirty but they were dark green so it didn't show as much (HMH-462) . The only thing capable of replacing the CH-53D was another CH-53, the Echo. And the only thing they could come up with to replace that one is yet...

The SP actually stood for Special Purpose. ;) The aircraft was designed for maximum range on long-haul routes. Very high seating capacity was not needed, so a major weight saving could be accomplished by doing away with unneeded fuselage length, which also had some aerodynamic benefits...

Partial answer - M809 is the series of trucks of which M813/M814/etc. are members. All have manual transmissions. All had dual rear wheels, 11.00x20 tires, at first, late service Marine Corps trucks had 14.00s. M939 is the series that M925/M931/etc. belong to. All have automatic...
