Yeah, I would also like to see pics that show the difference.

I will post pics as soon as I get my 10 ton home on Sat or Sunday.

I got this from timberwolf's Ebay ad for his 5 ton. Hope he doesn't mind. The big one is an M813A1 5-ton, the smaller is an M35A2 Deuce.

As promised here are the pics of my 10 ton parked next to my Deuce.

9:00x20 next to a 14:00X24

Rear shot,notice the 5th wheel is about even with the bottom of the Deuce bed

M123A1C hooked to a M816,notice the extreme slope of the towbar,This makes the 816 have a "rubber band"driving effect until you get up to speed(if you ever do get there!)

Wow, great pics! Good luck with the restoration. If you run across a good source of 14R24 tires, let me know.

M1075,I'm still looking but it seems that no one makes that size for road use,off road can be found all day long.I'm sure someone has a set of 14:00X24 Non-directionals squrriled away somewhere(I need 11).

Thanks for the pics, I love to see pics with the trucks side by side. It shows the difference well.

I thought i read somthing in one of crane trucks post about the 5 ton wreckers were never suppose to pull 10 tonners. hmmm Oh well

 

[AMGeneral]

Techinicly they aren't as they were forbidden to do so while in service,but they will,just watch what you're doing and remember SAFTEY FIRST!!!

I saw some on a plow truck in Michigan and they were recaps.

I have been trying to get an answer from the recapers if they can put that tread on my 16.00 R 20's
