fred coldwell (on the G) pointed out to me that the LC-61, is listed in the TM 11-487
and calls out TM 11-369 and TM 11-370
but when I looked at my TM endex TM 11-369 was for a cable assembly?
odd that it didnt make it into the 9-2800's

Would he consider selling the fenders off that Mack truck? They would be perfect for my German conversion.

Brian,

I saw that on the G-503...and thanked Fred Directly.

Here is the picture Fred put up.

I also searched for the TM. It looks like the TM 11-370 is specifically for the trailer.

I will keep working on the junkyard owner.

Neil, Not a chance he would sell the fenders...he won't sell anything.

Here is a LC-61 like mentioned above. It's a very impractical trailer but it's fun to have :D
