Well the book doesn’t actually say but I would guess it’s 2520-00-835-8352 which also shows up as an m135 on a google search. The book has all the truck numbers except for the m135s for some reason.
Yep, the last 7 digits of the ORD number is what we needed.
The NSN for an m135 without winch is 2320-00-835-8351.
For some reason in the 1955 TM the data plates for all the models except the m135 have the ord numbers on them.
NSNs didn’t show up until the 1970s if I remember right. The correct format for an NSN is xxxx-xx-xxx-xxxx so the numbers you listed are missing some digits if they’re even the right ones. There probably will be 2 different NSNs for m135s, one number for the truck with winch and one for the...

While the show is Friday and Saturday the field will be open Thursday and Sunday for the...
I will do that when I get a chance to fold the gin poles in. It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to build something that will work alright even if it looks a little different.
Yeah I would pass at $500. I think I paid around $200 for the whole assembly I bought. Not terrible considering the price of the shock absorbers as of late.
It's hard to see in my picture but the DRASH hitch also has plate welded on either side in addition to the gussets for the channel.
I'm not real familiar with the DRASH trailers and the model numbers of them but from what I understand the earliest had a regular lunette like your m116a3. The next generation had the adjustable lunette and then after that they switched over to a different style hitch on the later ones and...
Not sure the part number but that would be a good way to get the hitch a little lower. I’ve got one I’m saving in case I ever want to use it on an m101a3. I got mine as part of a complete front hitch setup.
Here’s a comparison with a stock m116a3 hitch:
There are 4 blocks in the BII for the pipeline truck (in addition to the standard block used on all front winch equipped trucks). From left to right you've got the block with welded hooks for the rear anchor, the block without hooks for the center anchor, the block with the trunnion, a block...

We’ve been trying to get a drawing or scan of the trunnion done but at the same time don’t want to ship it anywhere since it’s irreplaceable.
Some info on the rigging is in the back of the operator’s...
Nice truck! I also vote to fix the bedside since the rest of the truck looks so good. I parted out an xm215 last year but some of the spare tire brackets were lost during transit.
My m59 dump truck has the same bed on it and I bought a rough m215 just to use the cab protector off it. If you...
Like mentioned I've got one just like it. Mine is a little more militarized and has milspec taillights. I've read that silver eagle built 15 trailers for testing, I guess that makes 4 still around. They're kinda goofy but I like the look of it behind a HMMWV. I like the side racks and bows...
I'm planning on being there Friday and Saturday. I'm looking for some Gama Goat parts including a complete winch kit or parts, rear cargo cover, and the pins to connect the tractor to the back half.
I can bring most of the stuff I have listed in the classifieds. I'm parting out a complete...
It's possible the data plate, glove box door, or cab were swapped at some point. Like dozer said the number should be on the left side of the frame. Your tag looks to be original and lightly stamped b1 after m37 which is right for a 1962 m37b1. The full length fording support on the bedside...
Nice truck! How sure of the year are you? It looks to have a lot of early features like the bed, lack of spare tire on the door, and big instrument cluster lights.
