Thanks guys for the answer, sorry for the slow response, but that opens a lot more questions. Here they are: this truck does have a dump body, does that mean it is a 5 ton, and if it is, what model truck would it be. I won't be able to see this truck for another week or so to get a picture. If it is a M35 with 5 ton steering, is this a common upgrade, is it a good setup? And what does the newer 5 ton steering look like? Thanks again

If it has a dump and the steering is like that picture then the truck is a M54 series 5 ton with the LDS multifuel engine.

Ehh fifty something series. A quick google search showed a dump and had it labeled 51. I did think 54 was the correct designation.

FWIW, actually the truck in question would be a M51A2 (M39 series 5ton Multifuel).
