Water Purification Unit

Found a picture of the 1,500 gph water purification unit mounted on a 2-1/2 ton truck. I know recovry Kenny has particular interest in these. This one does not have the eylet type front wheel hub, though.
It's from TM 5-700 "Field water supply".
A second image showing the 3,000 gph unit is shown in next post.

Here is the 3,000 gph unit, also from the TM 5-700 (July 1967).

Man I love the van bodies on these trucks. What a cool camper they would make. Not plush motor home style but utilitarian as heck. Bjorn, is there any mention on the eyelet type hubs on these trucks, the part isn't in any regular deuce TMs that I can find and frankly, I've never seen the hub an any other style of deuce. I've got a pair of NOS ones and I'm trying to get a second pair. Here's a pic of what I've got.

Kenny,
The only reference to the truck itself is "Supporting equipment furnished with the WPU includes a standard 2-1/2-ton truck chassis on which the van body equipment is mounted;"
