Looks like a late-model M1031 and has the PTO-driven generator inside?

NSN ending in 3 = Signal load; 4 = Engineer load; 5 = Ordnance load. The Engineer load had the horizontal cylinder mount which I believe is shield gas for the Miller Spoolgun SMAW gun. All have the PTO generator and electric air compressor.

Bought mine over a year ago with 6500 miles on the truck and around 6 hours on the Genny. Truck was complete with OBA, Gen, and welder. Only thing missing was the governor actuator rod which I fabbed up. The Gen set needed some maintenance to get working like bad connections and safety switch calibration. The truck needed ALL the usual maintenance including alternator rebuilds, new injection pump (old one leaked), and springs (sat crooked). I paid $6k for it in a private sale. Truck in turn key condition would probably fetch $7-8k due to mileage, it's complete/working, and the fact it has zero rust anywhere. I wouldn't take less than $10k for it if someone wanted it badly but it's just not worth that much to most people. Good luck with your search, I love my M1031. The only thing I dislike is the roof height now...can't get it into a normal garage. I shall build a glass case for it

37" Goodyears? Have the same tires for mine. What springs are you running? Would like to leave mine stock and just open-up the front fenders as needed. Wondering if the tires will clear the box though.

Yup
I'm running 4" front springs, whatever ORD sells, and ORD rear shackle flip with stock K30 rear USA made springs. You could do 37's with just trimming but it will be a lot of metal. Your biggest gain would be a zero rate to get the tire out of the rear of the fender.

I put the large diameter "HUMVEE" wheels and tires on the back of my M1031, (Fit perfect, no clearance problems on the BACK) Also tried to fit them on the front, The wheels do hit the steering linkage. Offset wheels would be needed. So I only have the oversize on the back, To change the gear ratio for better highway speeds. Does work, Less engine revs at highway speeds with stock gearing.
