Sold: 7.5 ton light recovery trailer

[rob love]

I think I need professional help: I went out to Dave's yesterday and worked a deal on this trailer. As with most projects, the cheap part is actually buying it. Even after the non-original deck is cut off, all the tires replaced, and the brake system restored, it will still need a truck with an air supply (ie: MLVW or old duece) and an airbrake license to operate. At this time I have neither, although I will need a truck in that class to tow my howitzer eventually.

Very nice photo Micheal. Does anyone else have more? The only other one I have seen is the one in Greg's book.

Hi Rob

There was one example advertised a couple years back on Milweb inthe UK. Maybe someone knows of its whereabouts, at least it coule provide details to help complete a restoration of yours.
John Bizal at Midwest has a beautiful restored Diamond T 4 tonner for sale at the moment....

Rob,

I know the photos are not of the best resolution, but hopefully there will be something here that assists. The last photo is likely the one that you said you had seen from the Gregg book.

P.S. I finally got the package for you into the mail on Friday.

Thanks Colin, those are the types of photos I will need.

Your parcel hasn't left yet. I was just making up the shipping labels for all the parcels I have to send out tonight....hopefully they are in the mail Tuesday.
