White Owl Parts Co. (252-522-2586) has rebuilt and good takeout LDT engines available. 1st pic is a Tooele rebuild, 2nd pic is a good takeout. Pics are from their website. They are located in North Carolina. Good folks to deal with.

I don't know anyone in Tooele at this time, but Boyce Equip. & Parts Co. in Ogden Utah have some. (1-800-748-4269) This picture is taken off their website.

Most of the LDT/LDS rebuilds were done at Tooele Army Depot in Utah. I have one in my Deuce, it's a good runner. There may still be some in Utah, save ya some shipping costs.

I'll take a stab at it and say try White Owl Parts Co. (252-522-2586) or Memphis Equipment Co. (901-774-0600) Both have been in the Military Truck business a long time, and have experienced people to help.

NDT and Tinwoodsman are correct. Looks like a metal WW2 era Ben-Hur 1 Ton trailer. Next, get a WW2 CCKW to pull it. Good find and Welcome Aboard.

Back several years ago, Barstow Truck Parts had an LDS 427 new in the can. When the owner John Rajacich passed away, his son just scrapped everything. To bad. Most of what I've heard about the LDS 427 is, most are old and they haven't been well maintained due to lack of parts, so they get parked...

Welcome aboard from Nevada. I have family in the Kingsport, Blountville area. Beautiful country, especially in the fall.

I pulled the horn assembly to disassemble it, and as I was loosening the bolts up, I noticed that one of the tubes was about 1 and a half turns from falling off the horn assembly. This may be the reason for the odd sound that the horn was making. I'm going to clean things up and apply a little...

I have been going round and round with the horn on my Deuce. When operated it sounds like I have half a horn, and my air pressure is over 100psi. I have done an archive search and couldn't find a problem quite like this. So I replaced the Solenoid thinking that was the problem, and checked the...

Good looker from this angle. I like the early hinged mud flaps.

Looks like a nice clean truck. Not a bunch of rust, and a unique camo paint job.

Finished installing a set of Lollipop lights, and sanitized the wiring for the turn signals and warning lights.

Welcome aboard from Nevada. Look forward to some pictures of your truck.

Well, here's my Wife's 1953 M38A1.

At the Huntington Beach 4th of July parade, with American Legion Post 133.

Kevin, welcome aboard from Nevada. Good looking truck.

Congrats Floridianson & Get Feeling Better Soon!

The military refers to the K53D as a Mobile Weather Station. Now the insignia (MWS) on the front and rear bumpers makes sense. This K53D is built on a 1942 closed cab CCKW. Here are a few more picks. The 1st is the Weather Station Interior.

Chaplain, this is the same vehicle as in my previous post except it's outside. This truck is a K53D according to the owner who is also a member of the MVCC (Military Vehicle Collectors Colorado). The truck came off the production line as a CCKW during WW2, and was then modified into a K53D. The...
