    ID item on firewall. M51A2

    I believe that could be the turn signal flasher unit.

    5 ton and 10 ton dump bed covers interchangeable?

    I wasn't even thinking about the fmtv's. I was envisioning the m123 size dump. Would be very cool.

    5 ton and 10 ton dump bed covers interchangeable?

    I don't believe there were any 10 ton dumps. If there were, I'd love to see it.

    I GUESS MY M1008'S Turbocharger is too small

    The 6.2L was replaced with the 6.5L. The 6.5 came with a GM-8 turbo. As I understand it, the turbo, intake, etc from a 6.5L will bolt onto the 6.2L. That is how I would try to do it.

    What model is this?

    It seems like I've read that, while most gasser to multi-fuel converted trucks got the overdrive, they kept the direct drive trans in the dumps on purpose. Could also be a case of using whatever transmission was available (be it in inventory or from parted out trucks that were deadlined) to...

    Several Cranks To Start Cause?

    Just a guess, but might start by looking at the alternator/alternator belt first. If there is heavy load(like charging the batteries) applied while the truck is running, the belt might slip, squealing as it does. When you turn off the ignition and it takes the load away the alternators...

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    I didn't get to go out and play, but did take a quick picture.

    What model is this?

    The manufacturer line looks like it says IHC, which would be International Harvester Company.

    What model is this?

    I'm curious, as well. Mine is titled as a 1952 Mack.

    Fording kit for M1009

    Don't know if this will help, but here's a snorkel setup on a suburban, which is about the same. Might require some adjustments for your application. https://ck5.com/forums/resources/snorkel-install-73-91-square-body.37/ And, of course, you'll need to address all of the other systems...

    What model is this?

    It can be painted with rattlecans, but it takes a whole lot of them.

    What model is this?

    I'm sure the dually would pull it. The issue is stopping it. Just like a heavy trailer without brakes, it will push the truck around. You might see if there are any members locally with a truck and a tow bar to flat tow it. As far as the brakes on the dump, they are an air over hydraulic...

    What model is this?

    They were. Looks pretty cool, in my opinion. EDIT: I guess that actually an m817, but same bed.

    sprag/overrun testing

    When going from neutral to 1st or neutral to reverse on my m51 I can hear the transfer case shift the sprag in the appropriate direction. Makes a thunk when it does. I've never done it with the air system pressurized without the engine running, but don't know why it wouldn't work.

    5ton dump truck - mud flaps

    These are the flaps on a 929 bed that I have. They have a hook to hold the bottom of the flap up.

    Diesel color

    I don't think I would panic, if I were you, but I probably wouldn't run any more of it through my truck.
