First of all, this is my first foray into military vehicles. I do have years of heavy equipment and trucking experience. The tools to do the work. And lots to learn! I've been trying to read up for the past few days.
As the build tag says the truck is a 52' XM211. But I can't find another 211 with this engine setup. It's gasoline, there's a magneto, inline and not a GMC 302.. I just glanced over it quickly. I apologize for the lack of info or pics (I'll update when I get more) it was freezing with 30+mph winds... typical spring in MT!
As far as equipment there's a 4cyl Wisconsin mounted on the frame rail I would assume it's powering the 10T Austin-Western crane.
Any thoughts or info would be really helpful. I got this with a package deal cleaning out an estate. There are 4 trucks in total. The PO was tinkering with this one as it has new batteries and did crank over. The rest are "ran when parked". My personal favorite scenario.
