Hi John It is as follow:
2. General. The passenger-carrying capacities listed below are for normal
passenger-carrying operations and are consistent with safety policies and
design features of the vehicles. The passenger capacities apply only when
the vehicle is properly equipped with permanent or temporary seats.
3. Passenger-carrying capacities
NOTE
The passenger capacity indicated does not include the operating crew.
a. Vehicle Passenger-Capacity
2 1/2 Ton Cargo Truck 14
2 1/2 Ton Extended Cargo Body Trucks 18
2 1/2 Ton Dump Trucks 10
5 Ton Cargo Trucks 16
5 Ton Extended Cargo Body Trucks 20

e. Passengers may be transported on post without fixed seats for short
distances, under 10 miles,
provided each passenger remains seated wholly within the body and the body
is equipped with stakes or sideboards. Canvas tops will be in place with
sides rolled down when cargo space is used for passengers.
NOTE
The driver is responsible for the safety of the personnel riding on their
vehicle. Drivers will refuse to move a vehicle if anyone is in an unsafe
position or the vehicle has too many passengers.
This info is in TB 9-639. I don't have a paper copy but I can made a CD if
you need one. Hopes this helps, Wayne
