M-123 Truck, Tractor, 10-Ton, 6x6 (G-792)
The M-123 Truck, Tractor, 10-Ton, 6x6 was produced in model variants that included:
M123 FSN 2320-395-1875. Dual rear winches. LeRoi T-H844 V8 Gas engine.

The C variants had a single rear winch and low mounted fifth wheel. The M123D was the same as the M123C, but with dual rear winches. Later M123 variants were assembled by Consolidated Diesel Electric Company (CONDEC) from Mack components. After total production of approximately 4,000 vehicles, the M123 10-ton tractor was superseded by the heavier and more powerful Oshkosh M911 C-HET tractor.
The M123 series trucks were mated with the M15A2 50 ton semitrailer which was later superseded by the M172A2, M747 and other semitrailers.
