To try and answer a few of the questions here goes. I took my M37 and upgraded it to the 265ci from the 251 with a crank and rods from a 265 as the block/bore is the same for the 218,251,265 with just a crank/rod change to make the different ci. I used the original (Canadian) block as it has the...
M101 CDN2 1/4 ton trailers were the replacement for the M100 1/4 ton trailers and were used behind the iltis. I do not know why they used the M101 designation as it was a 3/4 ton trailer originally but added the 2 in the nominclair to distinguish it from the 3/4 ton unit.The M104 trailers are...
