    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    I don't know what the number produced was, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20 or 30. After GM got the tooling to build the truck in place, churning out an extra 10 or 20 wouldn't be that big of a deal. They would also have needed enough vehicles for the military to run through trials...

    M52A1 transmission reverse switch?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll bring the info to our next meeting. We have a couple guys who have been under the truck looking for that reverse connection for probably over an hour now. I think they're going to be pissed to hear that it doesn't exist.

    M52A1 transmission reverse switch?

    Hi, I am a member of my town's volunteer fire dept, and we have an M52A1 tractor that has been modified to serve as a tanker for us. It was given to us by a neighboring town, and among other things, it has some wiring issues. The first one we are looking at is the reverse lights. Right now...
