Water fording kit?

[DeuceNewb]

How can I tell if a deuce i'm looking at has the fording kit. The dude sent me some pictures, and the exhaust stack is really high on it, and there are some switches to the right of the gauges between them and the glove box. I just can't read the plates over top of them. I think thats where the controls for the water fording goes correct? The only problem is that the air intake pipe is still the normal one that comes out the side and stops and there are 2 lights mounted to it (convoy lights i guess) so perhaps the switches and levers would be for them. ANy ideas or will i have to wait to see it in person to figure it out?

Well i could only get the dash pic up, the one he sent me of the whole truck is high res and too big to be posted i guess? but the exhaust stack is about 3 feet higher than the top of the cab

I thought a real deuce fording kit had another air switch like the front axle uses to pressurize the driveline components with air............................

That looks like something else to me.....

My usmc m109 has a knob to pull out for fording, no air switch.

Mine has a flapper valve just like the one that engages the front axle. I believe the older gassers had a handle near the glove box for fording.
