T16 Carrier on Ebay.com 291587512789

I also posted about the same carrier. It looks like it was a movie prop. The axle shafts have been removed to allow it to be easier to move, and it comes with a replacement axle assembly. Also by the condition of the interior, in my opinion it has not been operational for a long time. Probably not your cup of tea if you do not want to do a restoration.

I agree it looks missing parts, as well as being mislabeled. If your Sexton project didn't do you in, this one might.

Another item on offer is a Burma Jeep. What pray tell, are we looking at?

Ford GTB 1-1/2 Ton 4x4 Truck, dubbed "Burma Jeep". It was used primarily by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific.

That one has the cargo bed. Almost every example you see has the bomb hoist on it. The bomb hoist being what the truck is most known for.

For both vehicles it appears somebody got a little happy with the olive drab in a sprayer.

I am not sure about the Ford GTB, but I am pretty sure the T16 is ex-Victory museum Arlon and Auburn.

Indeed, I think you are right, I recall it now: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24642

I think we have seen this T16 before. IIRC, it was externally restored only for display in a museum. Certainly not a runner.
