M800 Wiki question

I noticed the following in the M800 series 5-ton WIKI:
M809/G908 Series (1962-1983)

  • Air filter mounted externally on driver's side fender
  • Center of grille extended forward (similar to Deuce)
  • Some have grille of steel tube
  • All have Cummins NHC-250 Naturally aspirated 6cyl. Diesel
Is the date correct? The earliest M800 series truck I have ever seen was a 1970, but I have heard of 1969's. I have never heard of any dating back to 1962.

Can anyone confirm?
Thanks,
Matt

I believe the M809 series was developed by AM General which would make '71 the 1st year. The M809 was based on the G744 (M54)which dates back to '52 I think

So yes I believe the wiki needs a fixin
