The most important thing to remember is that there is no g in Cummins....
Secondly the Cummins engines are in the 800 series trucks... Therefore a
Cummins Powered Recovery Truck is a "Truck, Wrecker, Medium, 5 -ton 6 x 6, M
816 with winch 2320-00-051-0489." There were some prototype trucks in
the M123 series for all configurations, but only the tractors and the
cargoes made it into production.... and only a few ( Coupla hundred) M125s
at that. Sunday School is dismissed until after lunch.... RAM
