Invisible truck? No pictures

It's a heavily mutilated M54 series 5-ton. Better be cheap, there ain't much of it left.

Mike is right,M39 series cargo or bridge truck,heavily modified with a 6-71 Detroit Diesel under the hood.

 

[illtemper]

what's with the rounded windows ? he says it's bigger than his 5 tons.

 

[AMGeneral]

Memphis Equipment Co. hard top and windsheild modification,that is avaliable on all there Deuce,5 ton and 10 ton trucks.

Poor truck, 5 ton, not a 10 ton. Needs to get a factory windshield, some nice OD, and a little body work and it would look great

 

[Massm35a2]

Keep windows like that on fishing boats only please

I think Zeligson Truck Equipmet is the company who originated that windshield. They were huge in refitting military trucks to oil field, pipeline, and power line contractor vehicles. Our M54 International was Zeligson re-manned and carried a Sterling Marauder pressure dgger, I ran it for years, years ago. JT

If it's bigger than his other 5-tons, then this might be a M139 bridge truck. They are still 5-ton, but a big wider and taller, used to carry floating bridge sections. Tires are 14.00x20.

It's too small to be a 10-ton.

 

[illtemper]

thank you gentleman ,a vast wealth of knowledge as usual. must be a bridge truck ,but looks like the 14-20's are long gone .not sure what he wants for it yet ,kinda big for me ,I'm trying to buy his m52a2,I can drive that around. man those windows are dorky!

 

[DMgunn]

Looks to me like the front axle is too narrow to be an M139. I guess the spacers could have been pulled for some reason, or the whole axle might have been changed along the way (along with almost everything else......poor thing)

 

[FreightTrain]

Yikes,That poor ol 5 ton is beyond beat down.I don't see a single body part reuseable.....except MAYBE the doors......what is the story on the M39 series beside it sitting on the axles?

 

[illtemper]

not sure ,it's pretty beat and not running.he does have an 818 or m52a1,cumins and fifth wheel, that's not bad at all,runs. he posted in the salvage section "m52a2",it's in billings ,MT .

 

[m139h2otruck]

Don't think it's a bridge truck, as the rears are not spread like the M139, no spacers on the front axle, and it looks like the frame is not plated in front of the rear tandems. M54 gasser?

 

[m.walker]

Looks like an M55 if it was a bridge truck someone pulled the spacers . The flange sticks through the front wheel .
