10 ton cargo truck

[Benw6110]

Can anyone help me find a 10 ton cargo truck, i think its m-123 like the m-123a1c tractor. From what i could find which is nothing but toy versions of the truck. I could really use some help if anyone know where one is or just anything would be great.

10 ton cargo truck = M125
10 ton tractor(s) = M123




Good luck with your search.

from what i can understand there were only 550 made.

M125 cargo trucks are very rare indeed.

There is a guy here on SS with an M125 who is doing a frame up restoration, his username is "Dirt71". If you do a search for his posts, you'll see some great pictures.

There are some other guys here with 10 tons, but mostly the tractors.

Actually,wasn't there never a cargo truck made?Only a tractor and a Prime mover?Since the M125 was technically not a Cargo truck but the tow vehicle for a REALLY REALLY big pea shooter and only hauled ammo and other gear for that BB gun.

Dirt71 has 2 M125s. One in the bare frame state and one more out front waiting for a spot inside.

well if ya ask olive drab they call it a cargo truck. but, they say the samething, that it was used primarily as the prime mover for towed 8-inch and 155mm artillery. Heres a link to one i found on-line.

Not to be rude but good luck. I think that he said that he was not going to sell them. Personally I wouldent. I was talking to bruce the other day and he said that that truck was a gasser. You would be better off buying stock in shell than owning that truck. He did say that thing was like a school bus on steriods. I think that he also said the truck ended up in Va. and is used on a farm.

TRY Ranchers Supply Lamar Co. They usually have one.

i think i will stick with 5 ton cargo, and just find a 10 ton tractor not so hard to find.

 

[FreightTrain]

You gotta think too.They are way over the legal limit in width so if you want to drive you would have to get overwidth permits every time.

If you find either one and can afford it I would also have to think about the parts availability and cost. I want one too! I've seen threads on here about them before and you can probably find them a lot easier now with the new site, the search function seems to work much better.

I thought Tactical Truck Jeff has a cargo M125

Bill

Bill, he sure did and it was fer sale. I'd also consider a bridge truck as a stop gap measure for the M125
