It's alive!!!! Had to change the points to get it to fire up.[thumbzup]

Fixed a small leak with the brake light switch sensor and replaced the transmission top cover. Tomorrow I need to hook up the brake pedal spring and add gas; then try to start!! :beer:

Not a HMMWV guy, but I wouldn't think they would fit....

Well we have an exhaust system and brakes! Plus, the transmission top cover arrived tonight! :naner:

Because they only made M48's for a year or two (think 51 to early 53), M275's were built a long time.

Been a rough week! Coolant in---then leaks everywhere. :sad: Got that down to a super small drip that I can't pinpoint yet. Added Brake fluid, adjusted rear brakes, waiting for my power bleeder adapter for the Chevy master Cylinder. (should be here tomorrow) Adjusted the transfer case shift...

Here's a picture of a M48.

Actually, the plan for the truck is that it will be used for Toys for Tots during events here in Cheyenne. My wife is the Laramie County T4T coordinator.

Air cleaner, slave cable, battery cover, and more fluids added. Ordered an adapter for my brake bleeder. Hopefully brakes and running in next 2 weeks!

NSN's didn't come out until 74 or so. I am betting early ones are bare metal.

I don't think it says. I have really old NOS painted and new made bare.

So I have new parts that are either black, bare metal, or painted like aluminum. What color were they originally?

Both Midwest military and vintage power wagons should have them. The front and rear are different also.

Batteries and cables in. Installed a battery cutoff switch. Fording cables, speedometer, and wipers hooked up. Need to paint and install exhaust, bleed and adjust brakes, install air cleaner-then start it up!

The Korean war ended mid 1953 which was well into the production of M38A1's.

Yep, I just finished installing one. Not too bad I did have a couple minor tweaks to do. Definitely easier than trying to fix an old one.

Going to start on the M38 next. I got this engine out of a modified M38A1. It is originally from a MB. I took it all apart replaced gaskets ect. It ran really good. I am not sure I am going as crazy as I did on the M37..... .

Pretty sure Maine was sold and became Alabama.

I'd call vintage and just get the right one....
