Photos of 3-20-2010 progress Don't know why they didn't post

3-20-2010 progress Made some good progress this weekend. Refurbed the rear sway bar, new shocks on the back, cleaned up the drums and installed the elusive spare tire carrier.

Spare tire carrier dimensions Not the clearest I've ever done but usable. If the builder will simply build the center piece according to the dimensions shown and bolt it in place with the two vertical pipes standing tall and then take a 60" piece of 1" diameter pipe and start with the rear...

Spare tire carrier I'll go take some measurements. If you'll send me your email address I'll sketch it out with measurements. P-38Walther@live.com

New pics of the restoration Hope these show up

M170 restoration It's coming along. Need the tranny support insulator (rubber plate) and the transfer case mount bushing (two piece).

Well I finally found that elusive spare tire carrier and made some pretty good progress this past weekend on the M170. Found it in Kentucky by searching craigslist.com state by city by state by city starting with Alabama. Two hours before I found an old volunteer fire dept. M170. Piece of...

Surplus CIty (800) 353-3772 is making my bows and all canvas/sides, top, doors, rear for the M170. About $2500 including seats frot and rear.

Call "Chuck" at Surplus City. 800-353-3772 - he has one but it's expensive!

I have an M170 that I think was originally a Marine Corps radio jeep. I just picked it up from Iron7 yesterday and took it to the ranch to start an intensive undercarriage rebuild. Sand blast all the under side, perhaps lift the body a little bit to get the frame painted. All the fender...

M170 - m38a1 I just got very lucky running in to Iron7 and him knowing that this particular M170 was just sitting in an aircraft hanger in San Antonio. The deeper I get into the rebuild the more impressed I am with regard to the complete lack of anything but minimal surface rust. Hopefully...

Firestone tires Tires - Firestone Non Directional Tire 7.00 x 16" Round Shoulder <br>Fits 41-71 Jeep & Willys This is the link to the tires that I purchased. They also sell the tubes and flats.

I just put four new firestone NDCC round edge on mine and they look right.

A few more pictures

Just think like "harley davidson" every time you think you've made some progress on the M38A1 you realize you need another 'hundred dollars" in parts.

I found a complete spare tire carrier in Indiana. $200+shipping. I'm hoping my machineshop friends can digitize the original and make exact copies from it.

Sure looks that way but mine does have the holes with nuts in the body for the two topside bolts and the two bolt holes in the bottom of the pan.

I think you are correct. Marine, maybe Viet Nam era, radio jeep.

More pics m170 My son took these this past weekend.

Driver's Side Tool Box I'll have to go look next week when I'm back in San Antonio. I really don't recall.
