G506 lub chart and holder

Post by Robin » Sat Oct 14, 2017 8:23 pm

Due to a recent request that I post my G506's lub chart and holder, here it is. The truck has a 12-44 DOD. The chart was in it when I pulled the truck out of a barn some 12 years ago. It's mounted inside of the right door.

And another neat little thing that was in my truck is this canvas and clear plastic pouch that's screwed to the inside of the left door. What's it for? I don't know. Travel orders is my best guess.

Where was the lube chart stored prior to the door holder?

This has been a subject of conjecture. Pintelhook has images of his truck with it fastened under the hood, similar to the way they were mounted on jeeps of the era. Others have mentioned that it might have been kept under the seat with tools. These photos are the second time I've seen a door mount like this.

Thank you, I have a December 1943 K-43 and no door pocket to be found.
