Need this to complete a set up. LMK if you have one, scuffed up is OK.

It's a 1967. Shows up in the Carnac historical VIN database which means it was one of the last to get surplused out. The 4K7721 is the US Army registration number which is stenciled on the hood sides. And that year would be Kaiser Jeep manufacturer.

Lug Nuts Way Overtorqued (!) | SteelSoldiers Post 7 lists it

All the 17 ft expansible vans are variants of the M4 body. The design changed over the years but fundamentally they all do the same thing.

I do believe that is a M313 trailer from the Viet Nam era. It does look kinda rotten. Those do not age well. I would go over it with a fine tooth comb before buying it. I am looking for the van body as well to put on a M292A2 deuce chassis and have passed on dozens of these that are too far...

That thing is a pos. The only way to do the runflats is the YouTube method with hydraulic jack. Be careful I almost took out an eye when the jack slipped.

Wow. How difficult was it to unbolt this through the access hole in cab floor? How many labor hours in are you at this point? Do you think the rest of the plungers are at end of life as well? Thanks.

I believe Memphis Equipment has the U bolts.

One more cool HMMWV accessory to look for.

I left the springs attached. See post 100: preventable rear suspension failure | Page 5 | SteelSoldiers

Do you see the keyhole? Stick your lock ring tool in there and pry the ring up. Once the ring is started out of the recess, use your tire tools to continue to pry the ring up and off.

Where are the nuts?? Highly unusual that the nuts are no longer threaded on.

Ugh. Show us what the #5 rod bolts look like. This looks a lot like classical "threw a rod". Motor is so clean you can eat off it :(

Welcome. That thing in your picture is the throttle servo that was used to control engine speed when the PTO generator was installed. You can remove it.

That was called “transition kit”
