Yes, it will be a hydromatic similar to those on several other US military vehicles of that vintage. The transmissions do require a little respect.....never shift from forward to reverse while the truck is moving.
A popular conversion I saw back in the 90s was to put in the Dodge Cummins and transmission into these trucks. Mind you, I'm not sure how well the axles did with that much torque going through them....we would occasionally get differentials breaking on asphalt during roadtests near the end of service for the old deuce.
I take my deuce with the C1 in tow out to a couple events each summer, the furthest being about 45 miles each way. Comforting to know that each time the odometer clicks off another mile, I have used another liter of fuel. Makes calculating the fuel requirements quite easy.
