Pics enclosed (hopefully).

The pics are crappy, because they were taken w/ a cell phone camera at 6AM, this morning. Location was along Hwy 44, SW of Ft. Leonard Wood, MO.

In the 3rd pic, for reference, I'm 6'3" tall. The tires (and the truck) are BIG!!!

Cool,late production M123A1C(single exhaust out the rear) and a heater too(large bulge on the drivers side engine panel),with the early style lights and the low mounted fifth wheel.

By the way, the truck was hooked to a steel frame that was TOWING the house in the background..(thought I'd mention that)....

This truck belongs to Doug T. he is a retired engineer sergeant major who does a lot of construction work around Fort Wood. Told me he drove this M123 to Springfield a while ago, took forever but made the trip 85 miles each way.

Is the cab and front fenders the same as a 800 series 5ton? If so why are the front wheels centered in the wheel well? Or better question, why is the 5ton stuff offset towards the front more?
