M35A2 Hydraulic PTO Winch COG?

[SnowBeast428]

Evening. I joined this forum due to needing information about the Deuce's since I'm making a game with one in it and while previous posts have been great I haven't been able to find anything about this question.

Where is the COG or so on a M35A2 with the Hydraulic PTO Winch, non bobbed? I don't own one personally and the person in town with one has it bobbed sadly. I don't need 100% accurate just generally accurate since ingame it's going to have a crane in the bed based off the M27 bomb truck crane but I can adjust for that once I have a baseline.

From what I've seen, the COG for a non-winch truck is about where the cab and bed meet. Winch model would put that just slightly forward of that point, but probably not much.

So about where the rear window is you'd say?

The center of gravity for the truck empty and loaded is shown on the weight and dimension/ serial number data tag on the dash. You can find good enough pics to see it with a quick google search.

Looks like 80 5/8" empty and 94 15/16" loaded back from the center of the front axle. 37 3/4" empty and 48" loaded from the ground. This is for a M35A2 W/W. But this for a straight PTO winch not a hydraulic.

Thank you for that. Looking at a picture it seems like it's about the middle of the cab to the tip of the front seats and with 5000 pounds taken into account for the placard I'm viewing that should be perfect or near to it since the crane likely weighs that much. Thank you for that, glad you're all helping this unconventional request.
