Sounds like you’re installing an NV4500, not an sm465? The later NV4500 chevy trucks have the internal slave setup which has no clearance issues. That’s what I have in m1028. The earlier NV4500 chevy trucks have the slave cylinder on the passenger side which I’ve also heard will have...

I have a pedal bracket in my m1028 from a hydraulic clutch, vacuum boost truck. I installed one in a CUCV blazer too. As I remember the pedal bracket has 2 mounting studs that need to be cut off, because they’re already on the booster side. Also the vacuum brake pedal was different so swap...

Looks like an m925a1 to me. Maybe an m925 with a tire swap.

I just had one all apart to shorten/modify for a jeep trailer. It’s actually pretty straight forward once you get into it. Remove it from the trailer and there are two screws that hold the top cover on. Once that’s off you’ll need to knock out some pins and the bottom half will drop out...

I’d think that’s when it was first registered, so probably around then unless someone waited to tag it.

It’s just how they all show up in the system, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s not really a postal truck.

You could put it on 20” m35a2 wheels (lock ring style for tube type tires), they will sit further in though. Because of the axle width duals can be over the legal road width without oversize permits. I’d check for a more common 22.5 tire size and replace both if you’re not able to find 10r22.5s.

They all had the turbo 400 so someone swapped in the 4 speed. With parts from a civilian chevy it could have a linkage for the clutch or the later hydraulic clutch. It’s not hard to make it look factory with the help of a donor truck.

There was one in Maine with a similar bed but I don’t think it was a dropside. It’s not original at all.

That’s a good way to check it as long as it’s the original style isolated ground alternator.

I had the same problem with an alternator some years back. The light was always on but other than that it worked normally. The problem was in the alternator itself as it did the same thing in multiple trucks.

Welcome to the site. A factory 5 ton dump truck with the 673 Mack would be an m51a1 model.

Welcome to the site. I’d be looking at the glow plug relay itself, if you haven’t already. Maybe try tapping on it with the key on and see if it engages.

Erik’s is one place that sells them. https://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/coandte.html

Not all of them are dual circuit, only the later m35a2c trucks.

The bows and tarps are interchangeable. The difference is regular bows bolt together while the dropside corners have a swing latch and the top bow has a post to hook them together (for quick disassembly and storage).

Check the doors on the inside of the truck. Edit: I thought you meant where to find it.

That’s off an m756a2 pipeline truck.

Nice trailer. Looks to be an m448.

I just took one apart and it seems to be a typical 1/2” pipe plug. Both of the NOS m416a1 surge brakes I have use a hex style plug while a complete m416a1 and a couple older m416s have a regular square plug.
