Those are commonly called Packard connectors, they're found on many different military vehicles. Erik's Military Surplus sells them, I'm sure there are a bunch of other sources as well.
I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. :shrugs: I've done quite a few tires on lock ring wheels with no problems but I think I'll stick to using a <$100 tire cage to keep a lock ring from ending up somewhere in the neighborhood if something goes wrong.
The sides are a factory item but were only found on the pipeline trucks. The idea was to haul the crew, then remove the bed and work the truck. I think a lot of trucks never really worked and lived life as a cargo truck while many that were worked had the bedsides removed once and never put...

The TM doesn't specifically state a reason for the front gate. It would be nice for a genset if you needed the clearance to work on it. An article in MV magazine stated that the front tailgate was to allow the trailer to haul long cargo and poles. It would add a little over 3 feet of usable...
