The front rim is definitely a FMTV/LMTV and I also think they are 395's on the front.
Pic angle makes it look like the rear could be 14's. Doesn't look the same height.
Probably someone not informed fully but not trying to deceive. YMMV
Truck is cool and definitely worth considering. I would...
A shudder to me is a vibration. Are you also feeling it in the brake pedal?
If so that is a classic symptom of an out of round uneven worn rotor. Could be just a few thousands of an inch as that is all it takes....wmmv
I would suspect rotors or attaching hardware.
Pads were probably changed but not rotors and unlikely they were turned as very few auto parts stores do this anymore.
Depends on the model. The latest ones for example are 2 separate belts that both buckle in as opposed to the early ones that waist and chest was one assembly.
so in another lifetime I sold parts. We had a simple way to help people determine if the belt or component was the issue. Use a plain ole bar of soap and let it rub while the belt is moving. If the noise goes away, belt is bad. Soap wont cure a bad pulley bearing, tensioner etc....

Yes but it is masking the real problem probably. The rubber is older and deteriorating. The belt dressing is lubricating & softening the rubber and buying you time. I would recommend non military belts from your neighborhood parts store preferably a name brand like Dayco, Gates, Goodyear etc...
I can help facilitate any donation to the National WWII museum as I am in New Orleans. They have at least 2 dodge power wagons or predecessors of the era. I don't recall the model numbers offhand....
Those rims could be original. Not sure if the original m101 had combat wheels?
You have a M101...
