HEMORRHOID FACTOID

Post by joel gopan »

Parts that actually exist but do not show in the SNL. On the Ben Hur it is the Spare Tire Bracket. There is no reference to it in any manuals for this K-52 Signal Corps Trailer.

I believe that they had the spare because the K-52 generator trailer containing the PE-95x genset was used with the Chevy K51 radio panel truck. On the radio trucks, they apparently cut the spare tire brackets off of the side so they could add the wooden boxes on the outside. So the unit had no spare as compared to a normal Chev panel with the intact spare tire bracket.

My K51 has the arm for of the bracket torched off even with the vertical part of the running board.
