A couple of images here.
The picture of the wheel chock per request by Loose Deuce and the image of the M756 marker light brackets as mounted and painted on the cranetruck. The brackets, which were welded in place yesterday came from Kenny's donor pipeline truck bed (a big thanks again!). They were a bit crunched up, but with all those holes, I decided to straighten them out instead of fabbing new ones.
BTW, there are a total of 15 marker lights on the M756A2 pipeline truck bed alone....

The wheel chock is marked with the NSN 2540-00-678-3469 and was purchased on ebay a couple of years ago and it's one of those things I never leave home without. :)

I've got a paper hole template out of one our marker light mod. kits. Can add dimensions and scan it in for the tech articles section if anybody thinks it's of interest.

It's late and I'm tired but tomorrow I'll get some pics of the "C" channel chocks, I have 2 of them. I have 2 or 3 of the oak onel like Bjorn's and 3 or 4 of the current rubber ones. Yeah, I like chocks! Bjorn, haven't forgotten the chock holder from the M146 trailer either.

I'll try Mike! They are still bolted to the bottom of the M146 semi trailer in the neighors yard and its only a foot off the ground. He won't mind if I remove the chock holders but will it I go slinging his trailer up in the sky to remove said holder. BTW, the chocl holder will only work with the Oak chocks, not the rubber ones.
