What model is it

[Warthog]

Found a couple of pictures of this 809 series but I have never seen one with a pole-setter on the back. The wheel cut outs on the bed don't look right. Maybe it is just an optical illusion.

Frankenstein?

Any ideas?

Found this googling. I think it's a auger the military used on different platforms.

I've seen the body on the 939 series cargo wheelbase. That's on an M818 or M817 chassis for sure. The 2 that I have seen are Seabees trucks. Can't find pics right now!

the truck is NOT a 818/817, does not have a right side fuel tank, looks like a 813 or a 809 as the base truck.

The reason the wheel cutouts are off is because that body was built for a deuce that has a 12' bed, the 813 has a longer wheel base for a 14' bed

I got to preview these 2 at Gulfport SeaBee base along with another that had the lube/fuel bed. Cool trucks in great shape. The flat beds were straight with no wheel cut outs on the m939's I saw.

They also had all the gizmos for a front winch and rear hydraulics for the auger bed that looked totally diff than a wrecker set up.

Who knows why the cutouts are where they are. That is not the polesetter body from a deuce.
