It looks to have all of the correct tractor parts except the taillight brackets which is nice. Non turbo with a sprag t-case. They’re cool and not super common but they typically always bring less money than a cargo truck.

Same bolt pattern but the dish is deeper on these wheels than on the m101/m37 wheels.

That's not a stock alternator. How long have you had this truck? What voltage are the batteries at when you test them individually? Maybe they've got a 12 volt alternator hooked up to just one battery.

The paint scheme will match the m756a2. Gillespie 24087 paint with army markings, stars, etc. The quarter fender had blue paint on it but the mounting brackets for it didn't. At this point it's almost impossible to tell what parts are original and what has been changed over the last 64...

It's been a while since I've done any work on the 2.5 ton dump so I figured I better make some progress now that the weather is decent. Drove it out front and started sanding and priming the back half of the frame, as well as the quarter fenders and brackets. My plan of using 3 other trucks...

Well the book doesn’t actually say but I would guess it’s 2520-00-835-8352 which also shows up as an m135 on a google search. The book has all the truck numbers except for the m135s for some reason.

Yep, the last 7 digits of the ORD number is what we needed. The NSN for an m135 without winch is 2320-00-835-8351. For some reason in the 1955 TM the data plates for all the models except the m135 have the ord numbers on them.

NSNs didn’t show up until the 1970s if I remember right. The correct format for an NSN is xxxx-xx-xxx-xxxx so the numbers you listed are missing some digits if they’re even the right ones. There probably will be 2 different NSNs for m135s, one number for the truck with winch and one for the...

I will do that when I get a chance to fold the gin poles in. It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to build something that will work alright even if it looks a little different.

Yeah I would pass at $500. I think I paid around $200 for the whole assembly I bought. Not terrible considering the price of the shock absorbers as of late. It's hard to see in my picture but the DRASH hitch also has plate welded on either side in addition to the gussets for the channel.

I'm not real familiar with the DRASH trailers and the model numbers of them but from what I understand the earliest had a regular lunette like your m116a3. The next generation had the adjustable lunette and then after that they switched over to a different style hitch on the later ones and...

Not sure the part number but that would be a good way to get the hitch a little lower. I’ve got one I’m saving in case I ever want to use it on an m101a3. I got mine as part of a complete front hitch setup. Here’s a comparison with a stock m116a3 hitch:

Some trucks have little loops around the grille for a cold weather radiator cover.

There are 4 blocks in the BII for the pipeline truck (in addition to the standard block used on all front winch equipped trucks). From left to right you've got the block with welded hooks for the rear anchor, the block without hooks for the center anchor, the block with the trunnion, a block...

Nice truck! I also vote to fix the bedside since the rest of the truck looks so good. I parted out an xm215 last year but some of the spare tire brackets were lost during transit. My m59 dump truck has the same bed on it and I bought a rough m215 just to use the cab protector off it. If you...

Have you checked the driveshaft u joints? A bad one will do that sometimes.

Yes

$800 seems like a good deal. I'd buy it for that if it was closer.
