Hello Friends.

Send you pictures of my Transportation Equipment Company. T-1

i paint it in OD color, and will use markings from pacific USarmy 1945.

Some ides?

 

ID-historie from Chuck Lutz:

Your trailer went through the rebuild program in Japan the 229th Base ran

out of Oppama, Japan. After WWII, many vehicles were gathered up across the

Pacific and sent to this unit which employed Japanese citizens to rebuild

and refurbish equipment which was then used in the Korean War.

Much of what they rebuilt was also assigned to NATO forces and more than a few of

these ended up in Norway. The rebuild tag and the data plate use the SAME

rivets and the data plate may or may not be an original (from the factory) but

both were put on during the rebuild.

 

Transportation Equipment Company made 221 units.
