Welcome to the site. A factory 5 ton dump truck with the 673 Mack would be an m51a1 model.

Welcome to the site. I’d be looking at the glow plug relay itself, if you haven’t already. Maybe try tapping on it with the key on and see if it engages.

Erik’s is one place that sells them. https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/coandte.html

Not all of them are dual circuit, only the later m35a2c trucks.

The bows and tarps are interchangeable. The difference is regular bows bolt together while the dropside corners have a swing latch and the top bow has a post to hook them together (for quick disassembly and storage).

Check the doors on the inside of the truck. Edit: I thought you meant where to find it.

That’s off an m756a2 pipeline truck.

Nice trailer. Looks to be an m448.

I just took one apart and it seems to be a typical 1/2” pipe plug. Both of the NOS m416a1 surge brakes I have use a hex style plug while a complete m416a1 and a couple older m416s have a regular square plug.

M11 decontaminating apparatus.

Yep. The little clip at the top holds a spare nitrogen cartridge.

That’s for a decon bottle, not an extinguisher. They’re pretty easy to find.

I have a little converto dump trailer sitting at a friend of a member’s place in Henderson, NC. It’s probably around 75 years old so I’d guess it should be hauled and not towed. I’m looking to get it brought north if anyone has room for it at some point. The long hitch could be cut off to...

The complete landing legs on m101, m101a1, m101a2, and m101a3 trailers are interchangeable with each other but not the m416s. The leg itself that bolts to the casting (only separate on m101 and m101a1s) is same as on the m416 except for the height (m416 is a bit shorter).

All the floodlight parts and some field chock sockets have arrived. Forum member Dead pilot helped me out by picking up and shipping those from California. I can see why the light brackets were left off the later wreckers, they’re heavy and complicated (but pretty cool in my opinion). I sanded...

Dead pilot helped me out big time with some wrecker parts I needed for one of my projects. He drove and picked the stuff up, then disassembled it all, boxed it up, and then shipped it to me. I’m sure it was a hassle and took a fair amount of time. I’m glad there are people like Jason in the...

Took a look at the front axle, I don’t see a whole lot wrong with it. The only thing keeping it from moving was the brakes. Once I got the drums off it all moves just fine. There was a little water in the hubs and a little bit in the diff but not very much at all. The wheel bearings look...

It’s normal for a CUCV. All CUCVs were keyed alike as well.

Did a little bit of tear down on the truck this afternoon. It goes pretty quick when a lot of the sheet metal is going to scrap.

The pipeline truck is definitely nice to have, especially for a lift like the m108 bed which would be a bit tough to hoist with just the big forklift because of the boom. The m108 was delivered today. Looks almost as nice as it did a couple months ago. :) What a beauty! Looks like it had...
