The bolt pattern is the same but the neck of that big pintle may hit the horizontal lip of the bumper. Also, the trailer tongue will have to be way up in the air. The stock bumper is also a bit flimsy. I would go with a receiver hitch for about $120.

truckingdeals.com has a hot shot that will get you fixed up. Does my Ft Sam pickups all the time.

Saginaw, TX (right north of Fort Worth), is the home of the TXRSMS, or Texas Readiness Sustainment Maintenance Site. They have a web site of sorts. They do for a living what we do for fun: Take in broke trucks, strip them down to the frame, and build them back as new. They have been...

Agreed these are non-mil spec items available anywhere. The pressure switch controls a 3 pole contactor, so the three wires are hot, ground, and power feed to the contactor coil. I think the pressure switch is a Furnas. Good luck!

The ECT's and the B666 Brockway crane trucks had the combat wheels and the 14.00-20 rubber. The hubs are different on these trucks to move the wheels out from the frame. The usual cargo trucks had 9.75-22 skinny rubber. The ECT is very low production, under a few thousand units. The cargo...

That is the Timken-Detroit power train from a 4-5 ton WWII Autocar 4x4 tractor if I am correct.

200 lbs for the Lima alternator sounds right. I could drag is out the back of the SECM but not pick it up by myself.

Very much appreciate your photo-documenting this. I can't imagine how many hours you will have in this after the additional work associated with the air conditioning and turbocharger. But the time and expense will be well worth it to have this bad azz truck with the dream Optimizer 6.5 power...

Exceptional work! Love seeing properly done ground up restorations. That composite bed was a lucky find.

First y'all snag our deuces, now you want to attack us??? What's next, y'all gonna take some of our our women? We may have to summon up a posse.

I would look for air leaks in between the ip and the tank. Cracked lines and hoses. It should not need a boost pump. Have you figured out much else about your truck? The front rim is the correct WWII rim, but I can't tell about the rears. The rears (duals originally) should be the same rim...

The M37 winch cut-offs are juicy, are you going to snag those?

Please find out and let us know. For sure rescue the clusters and sell them to us! The 602 was the 5 ton engine, the 331 is the deuce gas engine.

Do y'all get the feeling these trailer contracts are a form of corporate welfare? There had to have beeen 20 M105 type trailers made for every truck that could pull one . . .

It resembles a PE-95 but that is not what it is. Stumped here as well.

Most of us have gotten stuck like this . . . once. After an episode like this including the hours of wash rack time you get a little more cautious . . . OK, I'm not far from there and can provide assistance tomorrow afternoon. You will need a snatch block at this point. Let us know if you...

When you crank it are you mashing on the foot starter switch? If so that is the series-parallel switch. It connects the two 6 volt batteries to 12 volts for the starter, and then when you release the pedal, back to 6 volts for the lights, etc. That old Cummins will need a shot of either to...

That's a civilian "tag-a-long" trailer. They sell for $6000 brand new all day long up here.

See pic for NSN. Other trailers: M269, M270, M871, M872, others? The mil trailers have only cost advantage over a civi trailer.
