I have a old M215 (dump bed version) Used it for a lot of years as a dump truck. Then droped a larger water tank on the back. It halled twice it's rated weight for a lot of miles. It's a nice truck with a short hood for easy driving. The auto tranny is a weak part, and reverse is the first to go. But it's still strong. First gear WOT and you can walk faster. The drive train gives out before the tranny breaks. No kidding. Get one loaded down and stuck, and it WILL twist the axle drive shafts untill they break. Will also grind teeth off the diff.
