Help ID this truck
 

My sister found this truck on some land they bought. Asked me about it. I'm guessing pre 47 Military truck, GMC, 2 1/2 ton?
Can anyone tell us more? serial number is 31866.
Thanks for any help

looks like an old Kaiser 2-1/4 ton, does it have GMC on it somewhere?

2.5 ton GMC truck from what I can tell, nothing special at all. A local heavy equipment yard has a dozen or so. You could haul it for junk iron and make some money off of it. I have seen the axles used in mud trucks but they are not a top loader like the Rockwell axles are. I think the truck is call a M211 or something like that.

Single rear wheel (not duals) 3 axle truck from the Korean War era. Check on steel soldiers.com. for more info.

Looks like the ones I drove in VietNam.. 2 1/2 ton..

If it's a single rear wheel it's an M135. If it's dual rear wheel it's an M211.

Single rear wheel trucks have wheel wells, the dual trucks have the bed sitting a little higher.

I just bought one a month or so ago. I could use a few parts, do you still have the truck Oldguy829?

This one is a 1952. You'll notice the hard top has an extra window in the side behind the doors.

I already have a '87 GMC 3500 crewcab that came with my cabin that has a light plow on it so I don't really HAVE to have that massive plow. With the way the brackets hang down so low, we are planning on pulling the thing off and getting rid of those brackets. The factory pto winch is in the bed and we can't put it back on unless the plow goes as well.

We're going to try to get the truck back to as close as we can to how it left the military. The big exceptions we have planned are a military add on turn signal switch, leaving the big flood lights on it, and possibly running the super singles the army uses on newer 6x6s instead of duals.

We're going to use the truck for hauling firewood and other things as well as offroad recovery, but we still want to take care of it.
