Thanks rob &heavyarty,both those will fit my needs.I'm putting plans for a Nam dio together.Though I've done mostly WWII modelling til now,I'm gonna start most of my modelling about "the nam".While my service time was post Vietnam,I'm still full of memories of the experiences of the senior NCO's & Officers I served with,& I think it's a very much under-modelled topic.

Sounds like the 800 series 5 ton or the m54 series 5 ton. Here is a link to a conversion for the M54: https://www.modelmecca.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl?go=Search&partnumber=RL%2035028

There is someone who makes the older style tank & pump unit (TPU) for the 5 ton truck, but I forget who. I'd have to go through one of my old armor modeling magazines that I can't mention here to see who makes it.

Are you talking about the M49A2C, 2 1/2 ton based fueler as pictured?



If so, AFV Club does a modle of it.
