HA! You picked up the Eastern ambulance I was looking at a couple years back. Good save, it looked like it was in pretty good shape except for the windshield. And the price was right too, I think it was around $2K. Congrats on a fine ambulance!
Just the rear end of the 10-ton was a double frame, mostly because of the extreme towed loads these trucks were supposed to handle. The artillery piece the M125 was supposed to tow was an 8-inch howitzer, with dual axles and about 15 tons of weight. When you get offroad and you're towing a...
Battle Creek is the home of DRMS, the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service, the ones who stamp their approval on the paperwork. In other words, it's out of GL's hands temporarily, and in the Government's hands. You will soon have your truck.
Strange, my spec sheet says the original powerpack was a Chrysler engine for that model, but it was gas. It must have been upgraded over the years. Do you have any model information for the engine in yours? A data plate, perhaps, somewhere on the engine?

You've heard of Mini-Me from Austin Powers? This is a Mini-Mutt.

I checked - the fluid amounts for the M139 is exactly the same as I stated above for the M809 series.
Here's the LO you need for your reference. Staple it to your forehead.
Saw this pic on Tomlin Ordnance Depot's website. Looks like an old gasser deuce, with a hardtop. The toolbox looks like it has been replaced with a civvy gas tank/step combo, and there is some sort of header rack/winch setup behind the cab. The bed kinda looks like a pipeline deuce, but it's...
I don't know, we're a trading partner with Vietnam now. I wouldn't doubt that a bunch of them haven't been discreetly flowing into the USA collector's market over the past few years. Load a bunch into a container, Customs lets the container of "farm tractors" through, and before you know it...
