Folks,I know this thread is old,but just a quick progress report,I start the engine swap from the M123A1C I got from Chesterfield VA to this truck probably this week,pictures to follow and hopefully some smoke too!!!

Yeah,It's still for sale(For Now) if I get as far as replacing the front fenders and fixing the cab rust(or replacing the whole thing) I'll just keep it.I still have to swap the transfer case and front axle driveshaft,but otherwise I have been driving the heck out of it. LOADS of power and...

I finally got the troop seats/side racks finished for the M54A1 I got from Ft Bragg,here's a few pics of the finished product.

Hello Maverick,welcome to the site!! Having owned (and still own) several of these trucks,I can say that I don't believe this is a factory installed thing,but rather a field modification. I have mainly seen this on winch equipped trucks,probably because of the length on the winch out in...

Well,the circular port is the cavity for the slave cable attaching point,the tube itself looks to be an added on something or other,not stock I am thinking.

Hello Bart,welcome to the site!! In my expierence with the 800 series trucks(816 in particular) hauling somewhat heavy loads.The 250 is gonna run out of power before it wouldn't be able to move the load,MOST MVs are designed like this as not to have enough power to twist out a driveline...

Get a M54 and tell em you want an A1 model with the ENDT 673 Mack and outrun/outpull both the M54A2 and the 813

Well,we had a good turnout this month, 2 deuces and a 5 ton,got a few pics and hope to see more next month.

E22 The deuce sits as it was surplussed out,It had the dropside bed and winch when it came from Ft Jackson(i'm guessing in the early 90s,last CARC paint was in 92). As for it being a factory built M35A2C w/winch,probably not. According to David's article on Deuces in MVM, mine was built as a...

Folks,I know this thread is old,but it brought to light that I have one of these trucks,my own "Oddball". Vin 0125-27xxx and reg # NKOCAN,it is a 1967 Kaiser/Jeep M35A2C with winch.

Brian, Either there or meet me here at the house,I should be here all day.

Joe, I have a 5 ton but I'm approx 165 miles away from Ft Jackson and I could only go get it after Dec 21. Maybe someone else closer will be able to help out.

Hey Joe, I only see a couple problems with the recovery, There are no shackle mounts to flat tow it without axle clamps. It being a 900 series,all the brake chambers in the rear will have to be caged or have air to relase em. With super singles,the O rings may be too weathered to keep air...

Anyone is welcome,you don't have to owv an MV,just show up and hang out.

Were there any gun trucks used by the 25th Inf Div in Vietnam?

You can tell it's serial # 4 by the registration #05A00469,it breaks down like this 05 denotes a 5 ton or larger truck A004 indicates 1st series serial # 004 69 indicates year model

The M54 I have for sale is a A1 version,having a Mack ENDT 673 turbocharged diesel,211 hp and 610 ft/lbs torque. Power steering(all 5 ton have this) same general brake system as the 800 series. same basic chassis as the 813,just without the longer sheetmetal.

I have a 5 ton cargo for sale,it's in the classifieds.

Sorry about that,forgot to list my engine specs,my deuce runs a LDT465-1C engine,D turbo,stock fuel settings at the time,FDC bypassed,I was running 6 psi fuel pressure from the in tank pump,about 70 psi from the boost pump to the IP head,running the stock primary filter(reuseable) and Baldwin PF...

I agree with Adamlee,looks like a M26 Pershing medium tank.
