Hey Jonathan,
I will save you the trouble. ;-)
I highlighted the trailer service brake air line in red.
I believe that this line is simply routed rearward from the air/hydraulic booster (air -pak) along the inside left (driver's side) frame rail to the rear glad hand.
There was an accidental deletion of subsequent posts on this thread. I think three of the HOOSIER boys had chimed in (andyindy, darnfarmall, and indy4x4fab). Please re-reply.
Thanks,

I am trying to help the local parade organizer gather military vehicles for the upcoming Memorial Day Parade.
If you would like to attend, feel free to respond here or send me a pm. I would like to get an estimate to the...
Interesting, . . . it looks as if your replacement engine has a "D" turbo, but the exhaust is a N/A type (skinny stack and muffler under the cab) .
Mine was originally a N/A also.
Is your data plate there? Is it a '66 Kaiser-Jeep model?
Here is an illustration of the spare tire carrier.
How are your metal fabrication/welding skills? I have looked at this tailgate many times, and it is very basic. If you are looking for a utilitarian replacement and not concerned with authenticity, you could make a suitable facsimile.
The frame could be made from square tubing. The bottom...

Not sure why he truncated the 2 off of the end of his username.
Sometimes refered to as "Hank" because he likes to do a "Hank Hill -King of the Hill" impression.
Here is a thread regarding the shelter...
Just wanted to update this thread with a few new pics:
This is the 12.5 R20 Continental tire that I got from www.militaryoffroadtires.net mounted on a M35A3 wheel. (I would be remiss if I did not thank Gimpy, Swbradley, and Patracy for helping make it happen - THANKS fellas ! ! )

I zoomed in on the cab pic that shows the data plate. It gets pretty "grainy", but sure looks like a dump truck illustration on the data plate.
Also, see the air tanks mounted outside of the frame on the driver's side under the cab? That is a stock location for the 342.
You can also...
I definitely agree with my fellow tipper owner. That is unmistakeably a M342 bed. Got a close up of the data plate? That might confirm if the original donor truck was a 342 or just the bed.
