Would it be posable that a army mutt be able to pull a M114 155mm howitzer. I thought i saw some where that it did. But i'd like to be sure. I'd like to use it in the 'incoming' campaign.

If you are talking about an M151 series jeep, a.k.a. MUTT, the answer is no. It only had a 500lb towing capacity. It couldn't even tow a M101 105mm howitzer. About all they would pull is the M416 trailer that comes with the Tamiya and Academy kits.
The M114 155mm howitzer was usually pulled by a 5-ton or larger truck, Mack NO 7-ton for WWII and Korea, M54 series for Vietnam, and M800 series for 1970s. The only model of these is a resin version of the Mack NO, but it is really pricy.

Thanks for clearing that up. I must have seen something else then.
