I have been unable to find any references that indicate that the M was ever fielded with Dual Wheels. So the question to the forum is can anybody verify that the version PSM has with Dual wheels is correct? Im also considering the psm tank unit for an ODS-era 5 ton. I guess given your period of interest yours will be an AFV M54? The two tank pumper unit looks great, and the trailer with the single pod also looks very good. I did find a picture showing the trailer with the wheels mounted outside the normal track and thus the wheels were outboard of the cargo bed in the same location as they would be if you mounted Dual wheels. The two Ms that I built represent the Battery Supply truck, which was built as a straight cargo version, and that is pulling a scratch built M Water Trailer.

The mess section had three field stoves mounted inside the shelter, and cooked the meals in there and then the mess line was fed off the side of the truck.

I have been looking for one, but with the tarp cover still on it. Top Contributors this Month View All. And once again you come through with photos! Thanks again!!
