'M' for 'Multiuse' componoent. That casting can be used for other versions maybe?

i think this base was unique to this model...its not like the #32 superfast tanker base that can fit the #10 pipe truck and #51 8 wheel tipper

I think you are right Dan, I can not think of any other version of this casting, so it is a mystery, oh! there you go...'M' for 'Mystery'... :lol:

"Multi - use" Ghosty?

Mmm, not saying you're wrong but doesn't quite sound like a 1960s word to me.

BTW I have no better suggestion - can only criticise yours.
