deuce Vs 5 ton cab plus

[FreightTrain]

What are the differences in a older multifuel 5 ton and a Deuce cab?Any ribs or holes different?

Also,How different is a wiring harness for a M543A2 and a M35A2?Can the M35A2 harness work in a 5 ton with a few mods?

Basically the cab is the same with minor differences in the firewall area. I. e. the 5ton uses the lower (pre-cut) opening for the steering column and doesn't have the reinforcement plate for the air filter.
I used a new 5ton cowl to repair a Deuce cab with no problems at all.

And the "newer" cabs have both cut outs for the steering. My NOS one i got had them and the plate for the Air filter.

The front wiring harness is basically the same. The plug under the seat that connects to the rear harness has about 5 pins more than the M35. (I put a M816 rear harness on my Gasser and had to change that plug over is how I know.)

The rear harness has the bigger plug and is about 5-8 feet longer than the M35 rear harness. The brake light plug wires are part of the rear harness instead of the front like on a M35. The 5 ton also has two fuel tanks, so the harness has two senders and a wire for the tank selector.
