I haven’t made as much progress with the truck as I would like but I did find a m796 bolster trailer at a price I couldn’t pass up. I have a lot of work left to do before I feel comfortable towing with the floozy on the street. Fortunately for me steelsoldiers member glcaines snagged it for me and pulled it over the mountain to my place.
I pressure washed it &flipped the lunette into the high position (the cotter key in the castle nut was the most difficult one I have ever dealt with) and then hooked it up to the SEE to park it off the street. I only moved it at walking speed, but it seems like it will work well for what I want. It appears to have started out semigloss green, then to have gone through a MERDC phase, and finally solid green.![07964D4E-BCC1-405F-8F9B-9EDC105876DC.jpeg 07964D4E-BCC1-405F-8F9B-9EDC105876DC.jpeg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/588/588813-d7fb6ae12e602fb7146dd3a191c1537b.jpg)
