Theories? Looks like a one-of prototype of a means to transport cylindrical objects that uncle spent stupid money having manufactured.

Not much. All 3 are aluminum and 70 years old in need of overhaul.

It would have a connector like in your picture and the alternator cable would be removed. This is to support the 100 amp system.

Was your Goat a shelter carrier?

Why is that a parts truck?

That is your awful noise.

Probably not a historically significant system.

Check your u joint phasing! Wrong more often than not.

Does the key fit in an ignition switch on the truck? That is a huge hint that lends a lot of credibility to the China Lake NAS provenance. Airfield vehicles would have been yellow.

In my opinion, this yellow repaint was done by the first government agency that received the truck from war surplus. Could have been the California highway dept etc.

I see uncovered exhaust leading to twin turbochargers. Engine is likely full of water. Sadly this is not economically repairable.

Yup gauges should light up.

Ok then you have a M915A1. Suggest you only run two batteries, 4 are only needed for arctic temps. Keep a 12 volt battery maintainer on each battery, the alternator on these trucks is the weak link, it does not like charging low charge batteries. Enjoy the truck, they are super reliable and...

Well if it started it’s hooked up right. Tape up the light gauge wires. Do you have a lever controlling the transmission or buttons?

Looks like you have the brown or tan wire going to minus, if that is your 12 volt feed, it needs to go to 12 volts. Suggest you be 100% certain of your connections lest you smoke a bunch of stuff.

That would be my suggestion. They are one of very few outfits that deal with these old 60 amp generators.

Sorry nope there are plenty more cut wires. Won't be too hard to figure out, these trucks are not too complicated. You will have wiring not included in any diagrams, that being the compressor and the IR light circuit specific to GMVs.

That is what Southern Automotive can help you with.

That is a Prestolite 5717244. Erik's Surplus has regulators for it.

Do you see the turn signal controller in other pics? That could be one cut bundle.
