IH Military designation

[rcb]

Curious, I purchased a 1972 Loadstar 1700 4x4. Has oddball front axle... friend of mine who worked in maintenance dept at the airport
indicated a military version of that truck was used by Air Force. Anyone know the military # for that version ?
Thanks... Bob

Civilian trucks that uncle bought do not have M numbers for the most part. I think your axle is made by Coleman if it has a hemispheric hub appearance.
