The sound, or lack of it, when a 331 is idling at 300 rpm on MoGas is just peaceful...no clanging, banging, shaking, or smoking... Same with the 270s and the 302s in the Jimmies... A real Diesel like a DT466 would be nice in a Deuce, too.

M1009s, I think were only authorized to tow M416 style trailers...but we usually just hooked up anything that would fit... My 94 Caprice Classsic looked fine towing the ton and a half water Buffalo on the Mass Turnpike and got a big smile from my Trooper friend when he passed me at about 90 clicks

The two hole adaptors were subject to breaking when the one inch set was used on large tows such as a 5 ton...leading to the inclusion of the two one hole sets in the towing and recovery set.

It is either the 2HN times 2 or the 6TN (TL) times 2 if it has the arctic kit, I believe....in other words, either the Jeep or the Deuce OEM size... The smaller gen sets... used two of the 2HNs or one of the 4HNs...Sorry Chris, I am not with my manual brains, as you know.

RE: Too far away Wow, those kits look like the bunch Nate Schwartz had in Clinton MA, years ago.... They were for the 5 ton Gasser Dump Truck... I sold a couple of them to VTDeuceDriver as the intake pipes can be used on any of the 5 ton gassers, but the exhaust was funny to get around the...

I would expect a M55 cargo cover to be in the $3C range in my part of CONUS

Looks like a run of the mill M35A2 type..The 0525 series is prevalent with a lot of trucks surplussed... The series started with 10001 and went well beyond your 13577. I do not have access to the production tables here, but it has been posted and others are more familiar with the quantities...
