That's correct, the weight/dimensions data plate on the dash says the same thing.

The snow finally melted enough for the m59 to make it out of its winter parking space (no working 6x6 right now). Other than that I don't see any work getting done on deuces in the near future.:-(

That's the one, I had to make a trip down there anyway so I figured I'd pick it up in case I ever needed it.

I haven't had time to do much CUCV work lately but I did pick up a not so common piece, a CUCV II brushguard. Makes me miss my old CUCV II. :-( Pay no attention to the license plate please.

"Camouflage nets cover vehicles and equipment of Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit 210 during the joint military training exercise Ocean Venture '92." Missing the gin poles and maybe even the headache rack.

Nice truck! That's interesting that it has been converted to a multifuel already. Seems like a bunch of them have been converted over from the gas engines in recent years.

They could be early m34 combat wheels. I can check the book when I get home tonight, someone will probably answer before then. I’ve posted the part numbers here on the site before in another thread asking about them.

It is the same guy.

I think it’s $15 for a year.

I didn't notice any difference with my m1028 after the NV4500 swap. I'd say it's still more well behaved than the one in my other CUCV with the auto transmission.

Sounds like it's most likely either an m246 or m819 tractor wrecker. Neither are very rare I'd say but they are less common than the regular wreckers.

The center of gravity for the truck empty and loaded is shown on the weight and dimension/ serial number data tag on the dash. You can find good enough pics to see it with a quick google search.

You could bolt on the lunette setup from an m101 or m101a1. That's just a regular lunette setup since those trailers didn't have service brakes.

Why do you need to remove the locker with an NV4500?

It should be a Studebaker, built around 1954 according to the number. If the axles have data tags on them they should have a year listed, or it could be on the housing itself.

It should make a pretty good plow truck. The Army tested HMMWVs with 9 foot Fisher plows here in VT with good results. A friend drove one and said it did really well. Here's a pic of your truck at the VT show a few years back.

That's the correct size tire since your trailer is an m116a2 (m101a2 with the cargo bed). The m101a3 versions and the later aluminum trailers had the bigger HMMWV tires stock. You can run some wider tires if you want to, there should be enough room. I had 36x12.5x16.5 tires on one of my...

I wouldn't be surprised if it was from the same unit, his still had the sharks on the doors too. I'll ask him where he bought it from next time I see him, I think he told me but I can't remember now. It's been out of service at least as long as yours. Some more Vietnam pics but not all navy...

The bracket from a GMC 2.5 ton fits, it would be easy to make a similar one.

Keith's truck is only 11 numbers away: These two pics were posted on the site a long time ago: Not the best pic but I think the truck on the left is an m756: Seabees pipeline truck with the cargo bed in Vietnam 1970: Another one, not sure the year or location:
