That appears to be the earlier M39 series truck. As in, M54, M52, M51, etc. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m39-series-5-ton.77614/

Merry Christmas!

The M211/M135 ran a dual output transfer case behind an automatic transmission. I believe the CCKW was the same, but with a manual trans. Be it Chevy/GMC, or IH, its definitely neat. I enjoy all the old machines.

Interesting. The axles look like they could be from a CCKW or one of the GMC trucks like the m211, m135, etc.

Don't feel bad. You sound rather svelte to me. I've got a couple inches and over a hundred pounds on you.

I'm in on this. Lost my 6tl's this spring.

Welcome from the southern part of the state.

Definitely. I'm working with no shop right now, so just about anything, even a small one, would be nice. I keep looking at options based on what I need/want/can afford/can fit on my property. I keep creeping up to ever grander plans. Then I think about how this property isn't really the...

Agreed, until you have to pay the taxes on it.

Well, I guess that would do it. Thank you.

What do you suppose was causing them to fail after rebuild? One would think a refresh would prevent such things.

Thankfully noone was hurt. Hopefully, it's repairable. I've seen worse that lived to see another day.

I understand entirely. Theres a saying about when I have the time, I don't have the money. And when I have the money, I don't have the time.

Congratulations on the new truck and welcome to the site. The brakes are a common issue on that truck. There is plenty of information on fixing them, but depending on where it stands, a full rebuild of the system wouldn't be a bad idea. That way you will know it's good to go.

Looks kinda like some early Load King trailers.

Makes sense. I wasn't sure if the hitch mounted I'm the bed of the 2.5 ton M1078 would be higher that mounted on top of the frame rails of the 5 ton M1088. My thought was that losing the bed thickness might shave some height.

I believe that brakes and lights would be best done with a 12v/24v converter and use the electric trailer brakes. As far as the hitch issue, would the tractor version of the lmtv be an option? Or the same hitch height issue? If low enough, then would tires clear the trailer in a turn?

Thank you, but sadly its just a defective memory. It saves all sorts of random information, but never what I really need. (Like what it was that I was going into the store for in the first place. Haha.) Ironically, i don't even own that series of truck. If that doesn't do the trick, just go...
