I have the set up. It was on m101a1 and maybe m101.
It has a front protective shield, 2 long brackets to mount the tank with 2 ordinary insulated fuel tank straps, fuel tank, filler neck, deuce style filler/strainer and a support strap for filler.
Fuel tank has a vent to filler neck. Top of...
I would think you should qualify under this program.
Check with your state's federal surplus office or see below for information posted on a different thread:
Unfortunately there is no TACOM support for the divested variants. Law

more flavors...
I wonder if there were more specialized variants than troop carriers of the long wheel base. There is also the USMC ISO version of the long bed. I suspect most of those were used for cargo and general hauling.
Yes, in the desert operations during the wars , some of the stock blackout lights were replaced with the red face round lights used on armor.
It does fit just needs a little modification on the washer plate holding it to the fiberglass hood.
Many of the special forces trucks did this.
Check...
That is definitely a "field" modification and not stock/oe.
22= LIGHT SWITCH (S) TO SERVICE STOP LAMP
The military uses generic codes on the wiring across most platforms. Look at this post:

That is the light that 86humv referenced. It is supposed to be used on the dashboard for gauges. Not sure why it is there ? See if the switch and indicator on the dash turn it on?
What color is the light?
They are belted bias old school tires not modern radials. Would not recommend for that application.
I use them for m101 trailers with no issue.
I know they need tubes with the old lock ring rims but not sure if they are a tubeless tire for other applications. Might need to verify specs.
I would recommend doing the airlift, extension , and tire carrier at the same time.
If you want more challenge do the reinforcement and mud flaps and be done with it😀
Not impossible but just have a good supply of bolts nuts, and washers handy.
Rig looking good Doc 🤠
I will need to take a picture but not sure if it will be visible as I screwed the hubcap protector covers back on after I aired them up. Coming straight out of the rim maybe 1 inch. It might not be threaded all the way as that makes sense why nothing would grab it but it does feel like G said...
Many thoughts on this.
Some do not like the added weight and inertia on the wheels. They tend to ride rough the first few miles after sitting up but then even out.
I personally have seen too many trucks on the interstate on their side from box trucks to semi.
Don't know the causes but some had...
I have some black Camian steel wheels with runflats & goodyears on my 5 ton m923. They were brand new and surplused in the GL days at Ft. Polk. I went to air /check them and some were in need of air. I found it a bear to hold the air chuck against the stems and to get air pressure readings off...

That is a shame as they were reasonable but I can see the difficulty of collecting sales tax and remitting to all the locations is not worth the small retail business they do in comparison to the Military and gov't orders.
I blame the...
The 37114 has the correct bushing style that OE uses.
All specs can be seen here:

It looks to me that Monroe moved this shock from the monroe matic mid level line to their premium line and of course more $ as they are now very proud of it. :-(
