M924A2 What is this?

What is this tank on the right side between the mud flap and the large tool box?

 

[MWMULES]

Oil tank for the Hyd pump. A lot of the winch trucks were rebuilt to wo/winch and for whatever reason left the tank mounted. Since it says 924 I'm guessing you don't have a winch.

Next weird thing a 924 should not be a drop side, but from the picture it looks like it is??

That truck has a winch, but that explains it.

So it's a 925A2?

It would be a M926a2 , the M924a2 is non-dropside , the M926a2 is the winch version of the M924A2 from wikipedia . But the picture in post #1 is a M923 bed.

They "supposedly" made some of the non-dropside non-winch trucks (M924) and winch trucks (M926), but I have never seen one. I have, however, seen the data plates as a good friend has a supply of every VIN data plate in the series.

I would have thought the tank would be mentioned in the operators manual (-10).

We all know that you don't need the TM's. Just jump on SS and ask what now. My self I like to see if I can figure it out. That is why I have the TMs. but I also know if I hang here someone will ask what now.
