Do you know the years that this trailer was in service I am a modern US builder (2001-presant).

These were used during Vietnam and up until the early '90s (Desert Storm). They were replaced by the M939 series, which is made by Real Model. See the below link for more info on fuel tanker trailers and to see the Real Model M939.

Fuel trailers, early ODS

Hi all, I know this topic has been discussed somewhere on here but darned if I can find it. Im looking to build an M52 or M818 towing a fuel tanker and I remember discussion on a couple 1/32? Diecasts that could approximate the M970 trailers used. Can anyone point me toward one or more diecasts that could work? Thanks guys, excellent site!

B & L Models is releasing a truck to pull something like this next month.

Not really. The B&L truck is a 10-ton M123, which was used to pull tank transporters and heavier loads. The M131 5k gallon tanker was pulled by an M52 or M816 5-ton truck.
