Your trailer is a 70 year old relic from WWII. Commonly called the “Ben Hur 1 ton”, it was manufactured by dozens of companies during the war (see picture). As far as your wheel situation, the Army bought a similar trailer in the 90s equipped with 22.5 tubeless tires and rims. These can be...

Eh I would personally prefer the Ibis Tek. Who has time to rig up cables on the side of the interstate? Call SECO and have them send you one.

Rule of thumb: If someone relies on youtube checks to put food on their table, they will generate any BS they can to get clicks.

Ibis Tek is the way to go, much lighter and compact then the steel medium tb.

Entire inside is supposed to be seafoam green FS 24533

I think he has a M54A2C with dropside bed. M39 is the series but you know that.

Wes (simp5782) might be having a bad day. The HET can function as a water tender, don't worry. He is right though about the 1070 being kinda a piece of crap. They have the DDEC electronic control which probably should have never been put on a 1930's design engine. Engine access is awful...

Suggest you keep the center of gravity of the new water tank centered right over the original 5th wheel pin location. These trucks get squirrely when the weight is too far back. The winch platform has to go or the tank will be too small.

These are 45 mph trucks. Just relax and enjoy the scenery, maybe some babe will flash you. The DP winches are sought after, they are marketable on CommercialTruckTrader etc. The winch platform, fifth wheel and ramps can go to scrap.

Ha that is high and low beam and ground is base.

Just call Memphis Equipment or other knowledgeable source and ask for a kit for a multifuel 5 ton.

Welcome. Yes the mulifuel engine smoked a lot when it rolled off the assembly line, although it tends to be black as coal. And power is typical 1960’s diesel truck. Suggest you go all through the fuel system and clean everything and add some fuel conditioner when you finish, that should help...

Yeah! We need the government to step in and control market prices!

Easiest is just leave it without anything connected.

No. There is no fuel return line. You might be confusing the vent tubes.

I have one just like it. It's civilian. Mil never used the cable pull control.

I told you wrong earlier, the temporary fuel supply needs to feed the primary filter behind the tire not the secondaries on the engine.

Yes it's very helpful that the electric lift pump works to prime the system after filter changes. Suggest you do the following if you are in the early stages of keep vs get rid of decision process. Get a 5 gallon can of diesel and a new electric pump and feed diesel directly into the edit...

X-DCR is transducer and it's the useless sensor that usually sticks up out of the top of the fuel filter which sends fuel pressure to the diagnostic plug in device called the STE-ICE which is Simplified Test Equipment-Internal Combustion Engine.

Welcome. Alabama to Wisconsin is quite a ways. I highly recommend having the truck hauled by a knowledgeable trucker. Do a careful financial analysis, you will arrive at the same conclusion. Too many things can go wrong leaving you on the side of the road.
