If you want an M275, your best bet is to find one for sale. They are rare but they are out there.
I use mine for pulling my 2 M128A2C's (12 Ton). One of my trailers has a couple 100 surplus Gore-Tex Parkas on clothing racks up and down bothsides of the trailer.
I do suggest using the 6 Ton...
Everything will work except the driveshaft, you are going to need a longer M809 driveshaft.
You can also have the M39 driveshaft lengthened at a driveline shop.
Matt is correct. I have copper plates for all my trucks. It's the classic vehicle insurance that exempts the vehicle from emissions, not historical plates. My insurance limits me to 2500 miles a year which is fine with me. I have historical plates for my 1980 MB 300SD, I have to go through...
Thanks Bob & 66Reo6x6.
Mike, the plan is to do exactly that. I've got the old style lights for the truck. Still need the bracket for the little blackout stop light. Hopefully it won't take another 3 year, but who knows. I'm going to put a set of convoy lights and a fording kit on it in the...

The pioneer rack was in that position when I bought the truck. As Tim mentioned, I've seen many in this position as well.
The dump was fab'd from military and civi...
Pulled the XM816 out today to remove the dump bed off the back of my M52A2 and turn it back into a tractor. Everything went as planned, no surprises.
It was a good day!
Good luck with your M275Ax. With the 465 in it, it's now an A2. My M275A2 also had a A1 plate in it when I bought it, I've since changed the plate to an A2 plate.
Compared to the M35's the real M275's are truely rare. Looks like the rear deck is missing.
Some photos of mine below. It rides...
