AM General M-35 (dump truck may have a different number?) |

Or it could be an old army truck fitted with a dump body in Vietnam. And it could pre-date the formation of AM General in 1971: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM_General -- Last edit: 2007-10-31 19:23:43 |

Among other things. I doubt that air cleaner came with the truck. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2007-10-31 20:13:58 |

Perhaps this is a 5-ton M-813? Someone said those have the air cleaner mounted on the passenger-side fender. -- Last edit: 2008-02-01 18:57:42 |

I have a feeling that this is an M-51 with the bed replaced. Note the air cleaner: www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m51.php |

It is a M-39 (G-744) Series 5 ton truck. First introduced in 1951 and built by International, Diamond T and Mack, from 1953 on in larger numbers by International and Kaiser Jeep. The dump body is different to those used by the US Army (M-51), so probably a later conversion. The main workhorse of the US Army and Marine Corps in Vietnam was the M-54 version. As other versions were also used it is not possible to give the exact number. Therefore I would suggest to use 'M-39 Series' with 'International' as the maker. |

It is interesting to find these trucks still in use in Africa. Government troops in Somalia are using 'Technicals' which mean a truck or a pick-up with a powerful machine gun mounted on a back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:D8m9caf00.jpg |
