Anyone with a 270A1 that wants to retrograde to air brakes, I have the backing plates/shoes from a 270 that went bye-bye. PM me.

Welcome to the site. If you need any assistance I am right up the road in League City.

Firestone Transforce ATs are the equivalent of the jurassic FTXs. I have those on my 1031. Certainly not an aggressive tire but it looks correct. 245-75R16 or 265-75R16 are good upgrades.

Fire service add-on. Not original to the truck.

The holes in the bed up above the end of the cable are for sure forestry. I would guess this cable powered the starter motor on a skid unit.

For sure you will need to replace the brake chambers and maybe the slacks, should be a direct swap to something new/commercially available. The dogbone rubber bushings on mine were shot.

There is a thread on this subject in the FMTV forum somewhere. The wheels came of Caiman MRAPs that were scrapped in Texas.

Yes, round holes are as delivered. The outer holes are for civi red lollipop style, the inners are for first generation military lamp-units, stop on left and blackout stop on the right. Trailer has a 12 and 24 volt light circuit.

Nice, airbrake axles. I recognize the 11.00-20's with overspray, RRAD CARC specials.

If you give up on it, I have two nice air shift transfers down Houston way that need a home in the worst way.

The CPL is the genetic code of the engine. If you can't provide it to the Cummins counterman, they will send you away.

Looks good! The shackles you seem to be missing are standard 9 1/2 ton lifting shackles. Red River Parts can supply you a new windshield if that brutal scratch cannot be polished out.

Another 915A2 transplant, this box will give me more storage than just the A2 saddle box discussed in a different thread. The box is just an empty box, not really sure what the designers intended it to be used for on an A2. Nevertheless, I installed an interior hanger bar so the binders can...

The number, 2530-570-0187, is the old FSN. Converting it to a NSN, 2530-00-570-0187, is a dead end as well. It is possible that the parts were put in that crate by the surplus yard, and that number does not apply.

Looks like you got it covered. Check the road draft tube for excessive engine blowby. If the truck runs out good up and down the highway, the fluids look clean, and no funny noises, there should be no surprises.

That damage is one of the reasons cabovers are so unpopular here in the US.

Those pictures seem to be of a failure of the rubber isolation mount of the fan? Not the clutch itself? Thanks for the heads up, one more thing to worry about.

Oil bath wheel bearings are the norm on the M915 series, FMTVs, and every class 8 truck since the 50's. For the life of me I can't understand why the military kept grease lubed bearings on deuce and 5 tons for so long, must be a tradition thing like taps and reveille. I run Stemcos on my 915...

You want Wallace Wade Specialty Tire. They know army tires in and out.

I think what he wants to know is: -10 is operators manual, -20 is organizational (mid level) maintenance, and -34 is depot level maintenance. The corresponding numbers with a "P" suffix are parts manuals applicable to that level of maintenance.
