Not at all! :wink: Mine is the camo one. It has stock height bows, so the tarp comes most of the way down the bed sides. The overall green one was on GL some years ago, and had raised bows. The rounded bows on the 813/939 series are different from the peaked tubular bows on the FMTVs, so...

Looks like one of the M103A3 welding trailers, but this one appears to be on a CMT-F type chassis. A lot of the body is ABS plastic, and the roof pops up as a canopy. Cheers

I imagine a 16.00 would fit, but not without some modifications to the tire rack for the larger diameter. It is set up for a pretty tight fit, but could be adjusted. The tire is held in the rack by a fixed block on the upper right (davit side) and the clamp arm on the left. The diagonal...

Makes sense, thanks. Cheers

I have no information on where the picture was taken. Cheers

I've been trying to help another chap identify the truck and trailer in this picture, but WWII vehicles are not my strongest area of knowledge. The truck is an International K-series, does anyone know the exact model? Can anyone identify the pontoon trailer? Thanks, and cheers

Semper Fi, brothers. Cheers

I bow reverently in his general direction! Cheers

The ISO bed is very versatile. Each side is divided into two sections which can be dropped individually, or together. The sides can be easily removed (but they're heavy!) and slide into a rack under the bed. The troop seats slide into a rack below the sides. (This is an excellent place to...

Being me, I had to know what it would have looked like without moving the slave port from the normal position, so a couple of minutes in Paint, and... I think amg72 got it right the way he did it, looks much more balanced, and aesthetically pleasing. Down low would still work, but looks kinda...

Yes, that's why I was thinking maybe it had a permanent load in it (Generator? Pump? Or..??), thus needing a painted marking? Coasties usually mark their stuff USCG. Cheers

The ISO bed is Marine Corps specific, they replaced the stock beds on M813s with them during rework, and also put them on the M939 series. The M813/939 ones are 15' long and are not the same as the MTVR beds, which are shorter since the spare is not mounted inside. (Yes, I measured both beds...

As you suspected, at 15', the ISO bed will not take the standard 14' 5-ton fitted tarp (no matter how much you sweat and cuss, I know, I tried). An MTV/M1083 (modern 5-ton) tarp will fit, but it is around 10-11 inches taller. This means you can raise your bows by that much, or just have it...

Usually marks Center of Gravity. I personally have not seen that marked on a trailer, maybe they had a particular odd load in that one? Cheers

Interesting truck, looks like a Marine truck with Army markings on the bumper? Is the serial number USMC######? (Not asking for the actual serial, just the format). Cheers PS - I only had one truck, at one point...... :-?

When it rains, it pours- I was poking around a small-town junk shop yesterday, and found two of these mounts (less the angled bracket in WSUC's post). From this thread, I knew what they were, so I bought them both (for $15). Stopped at another junk store nearby, and lo, there was another one...

Beautiful truck. That first picture wasn't taken in central New York! Cheers

Yep. Here is a picture of one I took in Norway in 1980, when I was stationed there with the Marines. The Norwegians were still using them actively, and they looked showroom fresh! Cheers

I haven't forgotten you. He's been away, back tomorrow. I don't mess with another man's stuff, even a friend, without asking first! Cheers

Some of the very few I have seen pictures of, 1009 and 1008/28s. These were locally modified by one National Guard unit, but which one is now lost in the back alleys of my brain. Cheers
