U.S. Navy Advance Base Equipment Catalog ( Y&D )

Post by pintelhook11over » Sat Jul 15, 2017 12:20 pm

Hello, everybody!

A while back I was in my old Seabee stompin' grounds in Port Hueneme,Ca and I stopped by the Seabee museum to bug the archivists there to look at their vehicle books and to my surprise they had digitized the "Bureau of Yards and Docks" book I had come to check out. I figured it had a bit of info for everybody to check out.

It is a Navy publication of equipment the Seabees would have had access to and probably took a lot of it with them on their deployments.

Check out this link:

The G508/G506/WC vehicles pages start at page number 545, no G503 jeeps in the book that I saw.

Thereis everything from weapons, refrigeration, buildings, communication gear, building materials and lots of other stuff!

That is a great find! :D

I see the jeep is in section 6 page 559.

I did some research on those advance bases back some time ago and see jeep were in the contract but separate for some reason I cannot remember. One of the links is broken.
