This is a Jeep Steering Linkage Kit (2530-735-1411). Are any of our Jeep Gurus familiar with this Kit. Is it applicable for the MB, GPW, M38, & M38A1 jeeps. Here are several pics of the boxes, and the parts to the kit. I have a 1953 M38A1, and I would like to rebuild the front end this summer...
Guy, thanks for all the hard work on this!!! Is there any way we can find out what model of Jeep this repair kit is for? I think 1963 was toward the end of M38A1 production. Then there is the MB, GPW, and M38 Jeeps that this kit could be for. I will get the trusty camera out and crawl under the...
Opening this box was like opening something out of a Pharaohs Tomb. 1st pic it smells like something that's a 100 years old. 2nd pic are 5 envelopes. 3rd pic all the envelopes are open. The 3 cotter keys are out of the little envelope, the rest appear to be tie rod ends. Any ideas. There were no...
A neighbor down the street stopped by, and mentioned he had worked on Jeeps forever and a day. I mentioned my M38A1 had a shake at about 40mph. He said he had a couple of new tie rod ends that he would donate. So he came back about a half hour later and gave me these two boxes. He said he...
Some non power train projects going on. Picture 1, is where a previous owner removed the tub for the slave plug for some reason that borders on insanity. You can see the outline. I picked up two tubs at one of the MVCC gatherings at Petaluma. Now I just need to find a quality body and fender...
Here are pictures of some of the improvements done on my 1953 M38A1. When I purchased this Jeep I discovered that the engine was a commercial F-134. There was no oil filter, so I added one, the carburetor was a Carter YF, I installed the correct Carter YS950S, I installed the correct top valve...
Doing a little lubrication maintenance on the Door Latches & Window Cranks on both doors. Had a little warm weather yesterday 61 degrees, so I finished the right side door, and will finish the left hand door today. Next, front axle boots again.
NASA 941 Super Guppy Departure from Long Beach Airport - YouTube Well here's the Super Guppy taking off from Boeing Long Beach. The Supper Guppy doesn't rotate on take off, it just kind of levitates into the air.
We have no snow in town and it warmed up a bit, so I was able to install the Step Kit Front Bumper PN 12300799. I picked this Step Kit up from Bigmike when the wife and I were out visiting California late last year. This kit was complete right down to the pin, clip, and chain. Got it...
I purchased this 1953 M38A1 Jeep a few years back from a friend in California. It came with a civilian F-134 engine, and lots of small problems. First I got the engine pretty much squared away. The only major item that still needs to be corrected is the fuel pump, and I have a rebuilt one on the...
NASA Boeing/Aero Spaceline 377-SG Super Guppy N941NA LGB Landing 30 RARE!! - YouTube Here is the Guppy landing at Boeing Long Beach in 2014. The crew invited me in for a tour. The flight deck has changed little since 1947. The first thing you smell when you enter through the crew entry door. Is...
The Super Guppy started life in 1947 as the Boeing 377 Stratocrusier. The USAF used the cargo version C-97 Stratofreighter. There is one 377 left, and it belongs to the Israeli Airforce. The Super Guppy landed at Boeing Long Beach in Dec 2014 to pick up a large composite bulkhead that the C-17...
