I'd second this just on fuzzy laymans engineering. The brake setup with a deuce and an M105 matches quite nicely. Same thing for a 5 ton. I expect that an M105 would be hard pressed to do anything to a deuce or 5 ton unless you had some major overloading of the M105. A CUCV just seems too light to do it with out a properly matched brake system.
As long as a Cut down Deuce can pull the weight (no tire slip) you should be fine with a fully loaded M105 behind her.
Overon Steel Soldiers, one of the members is cutting down a cab on a M35 to make it a crew cab. I'd love to see that on a snubby M35. Add in some extra fuel tanks and other kit for ballast and you'd probably have a bloody nice tow vehicle (if a bit slow on the highway). Personally though, I'm not sure I liked being passed by a pickup towing a big trailer when I'm going 70mph....
