The M-54 air cleaner was on the right fender vs the left fender with the
813. The 813 had a solid side bed and the 813A1s had the drop sides.
The big differance is the M 813s had the 250 cummins engine and an overdrive
trans,
they were not remanned M 54s ( M54s had the Mack and Multifuel engines ).
