Looks great, look forward to hearing and seeing more about it.

Beware I purchased one of the overseas adapters and internal parts were missing, I would purchase the US ones.

Super hot here today but a lot accomplished on the 886. Correct gasket for the manifold finally showed up(mis sorted by ups)so I could finish the manifold install. It seems a non emission type is not available so I had to make a block off plate for one end, the manifold came with the other two...

The sugar scoop is not typically used on the M1009, the box from what I have seen is usually mounted on the dash plate.

Just try and work on it each day, might not be a lot every day but it adds up. Last couple days has been one of those not so fun but must do projects. Pulled the interior panels out of the box, it was a mess in the walls, spared the pictures of the nasty mess. The roof panel for the most part...

I have a working PRC-10, you can get a battery adapter/inverter from a man in Italy on Ebay, that's how I run mine. You will need a battery box, H-33 handset and an antenna.

Thank you, well not quite a GM alternator but an upgraded 95A one wire by Powermaster, a direct fit, also eliminates the voltage regulator. Seems like it's going to be a one step forward 4 steps back type of build. While replacing the exhaust I found the LH manifold was damaged at the sealing...

Nice score, keep us updated.

A Motorola MT1000 42-50 will work on both old and new squelch, I have a couple and they work fine. To be legal would require a ham radio license, the MT1000 accepts the 150Hz squelch tone and you can turn up the deviation on the radio to help with the volume issue. You can get them pretty...

Today I started the GM HEI ignition conversion, this worked great on my M882 so I decided to install it on the M886 as well. I ordered a Powermaster 100A one wire alternator so I eliminated the voltage regulator. I traced out the shape of the regulator on a piece of 1/4" aluminum for a...

The seat cushion for the folding step was broken free from the step, the t nuts had let go and the plywood was tender. Cut a new piece of plywood, new t nuts and 10-24 flat head screws finished the install. When I got the truck the carburetor was off due to a sticking float. The inside was...

Yes she is shiny ! It looks like the hood and at least the passenger fender are from a civvy Dodge as is the bumper. As you can see the grill was cobbled up from a pre 77 truck, also has a inside hood release. The radiator support is rotted beyond repair, even the bolts holding it to the...

Yes the manual does point out a few items specific to build date, when it comes to the electrical it would seem you are left on your own to figure it out. Thank you for the input.

I printed off the schematics and found a few interesting things. I don't see any M886 specific wiring diagram like they have for the M1010, I also can't find one for the separate fuse panel the M886 has below the dash or a picture of the fuse panel which I could swear I had seen one which...

Thank you for the replies, appreciate the support. It is a 77 shows date of delivery 4-77, the grill seems to be cobbled up from various parts, ill post up some pictures of it up close. I also have a M882, when I got it the blackout light kit was installed, I started having problems with the...

Not sure on the antenna guard, a picture would help. The CX-4722 cables would be the same may just be different lengths. You will need a CX-4723 to go from the MT-1029 to the C2299 remote box, you can still have a mike at the radio if you want. There is a special grommet for the cables to go...

Picked up this M886 from another SS member yesterday, plan is to build it into a commo truck for local ARES events and military shows. Started today on cleaning up and removing some old parts. Trailer hitch was quite low to the ground so I removed it. The exhaust needs to be replaced and...

HI Bob your PM is full.

G503.com is the best place to research WWII jeeps.

I would look for combat wheels, seats don't adjust, early models did not have a gas can bracket or rifle holder. You would be better off taking a lot of good pictures of it and posting them on G503.com and ask them to look it over.
