Yes you guys are correct.
Only the 5 tons have them up front
not the 2½ tons.
I thought that we were carrying on the thread
started by Geno asking what they were for.
Cheers,

Jim,
I think that Gene was referring to the glad hands on the front of the 5
ton vehicles. Those are there, I believe, so that you can run an air
hose between the towed and towing vehicle, to provide brakes on the
towed vehicle. For some reason, the Army decided that they weren't
necessary on smaller vehicles.

Er, the duces do have 'em.
My old M135 did.
How else do you get the service brakes to work
on a M105 one & a half ton trailer ?
