The M54 5-ton 6×6 truck (G744) was the basic cargo model of the M39 Series truck. It was designed to transport a 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), 14-foot-long (4.3 m) cargo load off-road in all weather. In on-road service the load weight was doubled.
The series was designed by International Harvester and manufactured by Diamond T, International Harvester, Kaiser/Kaiser-Jeep, and Mack. Production began in 1961 and evolved into the M809 Series in 1969.
