M915A1 is Big Cam III Cummins, 400 hp. No lockers in the Eaton rears. Already has extra air tanks and dual air system. Parts are at your local heavy duty truck supplier (Napa, et al). Will pull the crap outta civi and mil trailers. Seems to be reasonably reliable. Do a forum search for...
My M915A1 was listed as "running" when sold by GL at WP. When the transport truck arrived here in Texas, the big General would hardly roll. The rear brake camshafts were nearly frozen. The fan belts were showing strings, the wipers quit after a few minutes in the rain. It would not have...

You are being way to hard on yourself! Remember this is just a truck. These projects can sit for years and then you can get back to them. Not like a living thing etc.
Deuce tractors are really no big deal to build up. The hard part is drilling the holes for the 5th wheel in the frame if...
