You are Correct, and win a bushel basket of bird droppings.
I have some of the rubber brake hoses made for the Air Portable at the splice.

I believe that they only made about 752 of these trucks. It always amazes me when I hear about the quanities of some spares like this....

Nothing amazing, I ordered them by part number in order to have parts for that one time someone needs one. Been around this game a long time, and one has to tie up money to earn money.

Nearly flew
GMCs and experiments
In february 1955, emergency arresting gear was installed for the first time on runways at two US Air Force Bases in Great Britain(Bentwaters AFB and Shepherd Grove AFB) for aircrafts in difficulties. Shortly afterwards, thrse installations were in actual operation to stop aircraft with tecnical faults(March and August 1955), but accidents occurred due to design faults, even leading to the total loss of one aircraft. A re-examination of the project was called for. It was decided to proceed with experimental test in order to determine and remedy deficiencies in the system. Research was carried out using a USAF CCKW353 (registration no:4669881) especially fitted out for this purpose. A triangular-shaped metal frame was welded to the front of the truck and fitted with and undercarriage, various panels, and load attaching systems from a Republic F 84 F, so as to simulate an actual aircraft as closely as possible. Ballast made of sheets of PSP perforated plate were loaded on the loader body. The total weight of the vehicle was between 6 and 9 tons, depending on the amount of ballast. Finally, 6 JATO rockets with a unit trust of 454 kg were fixed to the back of the unit to give the required acceleration, and 4 others at the front to ensure braking should the arresting gear malfunction. The machine was tested four times. During the last test, the device was fitted with additional fuel tanks and weighed 9 tons. It hit the arresting gear at 169 km/h and stopped over 185 meters.
