That "beating with a duck-bill sledge"-part must be a joke, or....??
In case it isn't... : 12- or 24-bolt rims doesn't matter, these are tubeless rims with a 15º shoulder at the bead flange. Everything comes apart very easily once the nuts are off. (that`s exactly why a bead-lock is a must...
That would be a typical 9.75" x 16.5", drop-center 1-pc rim.
Although 37" HMMWV radials all come on 8.25"-wide wheels, I know 9.75"-rims will work OK. But don't ever run them (tubeless) below 30 psi since on a one-piece wheel the only thing keeping the beads seated is air pressure.
I'm still...
Certainly a low-carbon steel. I have welded-shut old bolt holes and then re-drilled, always using common drill bits with no problems.
Channel dimensions are 8" x 3", outside. Material thickness is 0.328" (8.33mm).

The problem I see with a 5th gear missing teeth is that it usually affects both gears, upper- and counter-gear. That means that the whole tranny - not just the MS- had to come out and pulled apart.
Parts are easily available and not so expensive (Tom?) but it requires a lot of labor; tools and...
Look up our '93, TM 9-2320-361-34P, fig. 115, items #27 and #28. The part numbers are there; now if you still need specs I could measure those parts, tomorrow.

I'm not familiar with these caddies but it looks to me that on the pintle mounting surface there are two sets of six pairs of mounting holes placed every one inch, vertically? So the resulting hole pattern would actually be 3-3/8" x 2"?
If I'm right that makes a difference of ony 1/4". For a...
New style pistons? The pistons of those LDS-kits in question don't have a skirt.
But I do remember now that he once mentioned that in his kit there was one piston looking different... Hope they are the same weight at least.
I know there are many; let me try to find some and post the links here...

Two problems: 1) inadequate backspace... 2) $$$
To mount a wheel with the "large" 10-bolt pattern on a typical 5-ton hub would require some machining of the wheel center and then having a suitable adapter plate (plus hardware), like shown in the image below...
Yes, the tires could be mounted...
