View Full Version : Need info on a 5-ton?
My Brother in law and I have taken it upon ourselves to try to restore a M813 A1, 5-ton Military truck. I have tried to look on the internet to find some manuals or cd roms on Maintenance, up keep, components, etc.... So far no luck on any specific pubs. If anyone knows where to obtain this type of info please help me out. I have all the numbers on it to include the NSN #. Any help would be appreciated.
Look up Trucks.com, they had a show not too long ago about military trucks and a place to parts . Somewhere down south I think. Check this link out

Hi CAR
I was a 3531 Motor Transport Operator, then when I picked up Staff I became a 3537 Motor Transport Operations Chief / Truckmaster. Although I am more familiar with the M35A2C 6 X 6 I would be interested in seeing your truck if thats possible. I dont live very far from you and reside here in Newark California. Please give me a shout out. jinelson1@comcast.net or at
Jim_Nelson@cargill.com or send me a PM. I am very interested in your project.

Thanks for the info. The truck is still down south and it may be a few weeks before we get this project started. Hopefully it won't be too long. Anyhow, when we do get it going i will certainly get some pictures of the before and after. The "before" pics are certainly going to be ugly. Thanks again
