A friend of mine want's to convert a 5 ton truck into the Navy CB's maintenance truck he operated on when he was in the service. He said it was a truck in the late 60's through the 70's era.
My question is , is there a kit of a 5 ton truck from this era to be had ? He has enough modeling skills to alter if need be.
Thanks mates in advance!

In the time era stated it would have been one of the M-54 series trucks. There is no kit being made of this series. I wish there were. You can convert the M-35 series kit by AFV club to the five ton configuration with the help of the Italeri M925 series kit. It will take some work but can be very rewarding.

Thanks Dave!
We are trying to surprise our friend with a gift, and I think this would work. Thanks again!
