I too, am curious about the demise of the M108 and the pipeline headache rack behind the van. Truck looks great Jon.

I'm sure George is looking down giving a huge thumbs up to you guys on an excellent job with the oilfield truck.

Outstanding work guys. My favorite deuce of all time and consequently, the one with the most lights from the factory.

Super cool Jon. Hope you guys keep up the great work. One of the coolest deuces ever.

This jewel came out of Roosevelt Roads PR and belonged to NMCB74. It was complete but rusted beyond recognition is certain areas. It sacrificed it's life so other Oilfield trucks could live. Some parts went to Keith Boda, others to Steelsoldiers dad who has an M756A2 and the bed is on a...

True with 5 tons. The M756A2 with lockers were supposed to be Seabees trucks of which I've had 2. Not sure what branch Keith Boda's truck was but it reportedly has them.

It was customarily thought that all pipeline trucks had Detroit Lockers. They are not in any TMs and I am 0-2 on it too. Both of mine were sans lockers.

Happy Birthday Jon.

What are your plans for wood? Cranetruck has made a few sets of boards for pipeline beds using yellow locust. Stuff is hard on nails and saws but wears like iron.

It's just like a 5 ton wrecker chain, only longer. That is one heavy sucker to wield around.

Coming together Jon. The block looks factory. My truck had 2 sets of side pocket adapters. Thought Keith ended up with both sets, maybe not.

I need to check what's left of my TMs. One of the -10 updates had an entire 756 section that another update doesn't have. I also have some other M756A2 literature somewhere I need to find.

You have some sheave blocks. I know you have the rear anchor for the sheave block, is the center one there or do the get switched? Been a while.

I trust that he had everything you needed to copy?

FWIW, there are 2 trucks that I know of out there with Hiabs and pipeline beds. Both were built by members here. Cranetruck built one and BFR built the other.

I know that my truck had 2 sets of sidepocket adapters. BII was only one pair so he may have extras. I hope my lead pans out for you. I have pics of the pile of goods he bought but its stuck in a broken computer.

There is a guy in the MD area by the name of Keith Boda. He bought all my pipeline stuff off my Puerto Rico rust relic. I know that it included a few extras items. You will have to do the legwork to find him. Pics of some of the stuff sold are here...

One of my favorites.
