OK, something rang a bell with me (light dawns over Marblehead...)
I picked up an S-250 shelter (twice) for a friend to put it in and
out of his USAF Dually Cheby M10nn (whatever) truck with
Annie my CCKW-Schield-Bantam crane. I even have pix of this!
Annie is only rated at 6,300 lbs BEST case and I had no outriggers
out at the time. It was heavy, but I am pretty sure it was not as much
as the 57mm AT gun (2,995 lbs).
