M52A2 5th wheel part

[jeffhuey1n]

Trying to find a source for a part on the M52A2 hitch. The part number is 7068245. The original stock number was 2510-00-706-8245. The updated stock number is 5340-00-706-8245. The same part is listed in the 2 1/2 ton parts book as well as being in the 5 ton manual. The reference for the 5 ton is TM 9-2320-211-34p, figure 120, item number 13. I’ve searched around and found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this the thin plate type?

Not sure what you mean. I checked the part against the M52A2, The M818 and the 2 1/2 ton M35 series. It’s listed with all three trucks.

Doesn't mean anything. Some plates were updated during rebuilds etc.

The thin plate has a passengers side release arm. It's just really thin looking on the outside vs a normal 5th wheel

The larger thickness plates have both releases on the driver's side. These were found on 939s but some m809s and M39 series trucks that hung around for a bit got them too.

I believe it’s a thin plate, based on your description. Here’s a picture of the front of it:
