It looks like a banjo axle under the front end, and a transfer shift lever inside. That would make it an early CCKW. I've got an EARLY CCW, that looks the same, (not long ago, found an original all steel bed for it too) They are 6x4 and have an I-beam axle under the front. It also looks as...

They are going to be expensive, I've been looking for two myself. There was one on e-bay awhile back, its some surplus dealer over near Marshfield, Wisc. Don't remember his name, but WATCH HIM..... He has the stuff, I bought a winch from him at auction, the one I picked up wasn't the one I...

Lot more than I figured, better go see IF I can find that article and see what it really said...But it looks like paying 1,800.00 for mine was a steal. All it needed was batteries and filter changes to run like a top. No wonder I like those trucks....

Thanks guys, I'm going on a hunt for what is available. Now that I've some ideas, we'll see just how good the folks that help me with such matters at Beamer's Farm Service over by Bellevue, Ohio really are. (really they can work on about anything, they've helped me with my 54, the 62, three...

There was an article in the "Military Vehicle Magazine" a year or so ago, that covered it if I remember. It talked about the whole rebuilt of them in Okinawa during the Viet war. Man what an operation. Lots and lots of parts to choose from there. But at govt. contract, betting it wasn't much...

Had the alternator on my 54 go out, and thought the one off my M-62 wold do till I got the other rebuilt. Turns out both were bad, but the worst was yet to come. Took them both in to a rebuilder in Toledo, Ohio that is very good with older electrical, carb and such for all sorts of...

looking for a set of troop seats for a 68 M-54 5 ton. Have two head boards but no racks. Anybody have a spare set??

It sounds like he has the latest version of the TM, and the stock numbers are not matching up with what is available to him. He's in the same manual I am with my 54. Its just a matter of looking for the stuff just as we do. The Govt. gave them some gear and no or not enough support equipment...

The ones the "Bee's" reworked on Gulfport for the Army were the LARC sixty's, or BARC's. BIG mother's, and they were just released. Somebody has them for sale on "Boats and Harbors". Somebody on the internet has pictures of a LARC-V crawling down the ramp out of one of them. Most likely...

As one with more than a little experience with the LARC-V, or 5 ton amphibious truck, as this one is, it has some value. We currnetly have one we are working on, and parts are VERY DEAR. The two on the GOVDEALS.ORG site were ex-TVA units and sold for just a few thousand for the pair. The...

There are differences, check the data plate first if its still there. And just about everything you'll want for that "beastie" is expensive. My search for M-62 parts has proven that. Memphis Equip. has some of what you need, the towbar is another story, and they're right. I got lucky and...

Really great info, our collectors group, "Firelands Military Vehicle Group" just had am M-757 donated to it, and we were looking for information beyond the "Standard Catalog" as well as any parts out there. We have an extra engine in a can, but really need a windscreen and maybe some other...

The better the price the less the pain too. Mine never blinked when I showed her the 5 ton I'd gotten for 1,800 at an auction, and she even let me get the wrecker after I told her that AAA wouldn't tow the ambulances or the 5 ton. But when I bought the last M-37, she wouldn't talk to me for...

If you're looking for MUTT parts, I've got quite a fair amount of mostly mechanical pieces and parts, don't know what they are , seems to be rebuild sets for engines, things like that, a few NOS headlight buckets,universals, top bows, a fuel tank and more, about a pick-up load,most is NOS on...

The 70's Dodge parts are getting scarce, I just bought the last of the bed side panels and front fenders, the guy said he had six sets when I called, and was down to one complete and a couple pieces when I got there. NOS from an outfit in Amish country in Ohio. I'm fixing up an 880 and an 890...

By the way, nice truck, I've always thought I wanted one. There was a 10 ton cargo up for sale a few years ago, I think M/V Magazine did a story on its "resurection" as they are quite scarse I guess. Two things keeping me from getting one,maybe three. Don't have the room with the ones I've got...

Ray, Federal Signal has a web site, and there is a tech section to it. Lists most all the stuff they built and specs on parts, diagrams etc. Don't have it here, or I'd list it, but if you just google Federal Signal, it will come up. Pat

Might aughta have ta send you a contribution of some kind for fuel to help get it to the Clare show. Was planning on being there, and it gives me another reason to go. Really want to see that rig.

Houdel, Really looks great. Going to have to watch and see where its going to show up to get an up close look, I'll ask a buddy who seemas to be able to come up with almost amazing tire prices what is available. He just ordered me a couple sets of 7.00 x 16's for 25.00 a piece (new) the 80/90...

Why are the really neat ones you really want always in the southern quarter of the country, or away out on the "rim" in Mexifornia or some such place. Really want a 10 tonner but till I sell half of the "stable" now, I'd be heading for divorce court. She came unglued and wouldn't talk to me...
