I'm always a bit suspicious of these "low mileage" CUCVs, and would be especially so of one with a claimed 20k original miles being parted out.
I find they rejuvenate themselves over time (kinda Dr Who thing). For instance, I have an M1009 with only 12,000 miles on the clock. About 6 years...
Bowtie, thank you for taking the time to post your solution. As you said, all too often that step is neglected on here.
Rookie, as mentioned above, the flashers are activated by unlocking the arm and moving it all the way to the right. The photos attached show how the two most commonly...
The site software smashes the pictures to very low quality, even if you have carefully sized the picture to below 100kb... :-?
Maybe you will be able to read the plate on this one....

My TSS trailer has a 24v/12v adapter built in to the front, two plugs, one set of lights. I've seen it on several of the large trailers (5th wheel type).
Cheers
Nice work! [thumbzup]
I particularly like the change to USMC markings (being an old Marine) :)
By my experience, Marine markings tend to wander about some, and variations are often found from vehicle to vehicle.

My 2cents, for what it is worth-
I don't have a problem with a combination that includes a trailer, from a Mule hauling a heater (smallest actual military unit I could think of in the heat of the moment) on up.
This might be particularly appropriate in the case of a rare, unusual, or...
My impression (at 6', 190 pounds) is that I have slightly more leg room in the M931's than in the 813. This is mainly due to the automatic versus the standard shift. The window handle of the 931 door is still perfectly placed to hit me on the kneecap.... Having done 400+ mile trips in both...
This is one of the great accessories you can carry with you, and easy to make.
As stated above, it only takes a few pounds of air pressure to work, the tank will usually give a whump noise when it's ready.
In a bind, you can stuff rags around your air hose in the filler neck and get enough...
A lot of shelters do/did have the peep hole. A surprising number of the scrap ones I've seen had it removed, so maybe it's hard to get through the military supply system and the troops pull them to put on their newer shelters?
The rubber flap is more for light discipline - to keep light from...
The military version of the 361 was called the 75M, though you often see it referred to as the M75.
Manuals for it are TM 9-2805-216-34, and -34P

Because it is interesting to know how long it takes a guy working by himself, who doesn't have a big workshop with lots of fancy tools, to build/convert something like that.
As regards aesthetics, we all have opinions about what we like (mine is "stock military"), but in the end the only person...
Yep....another "proofread your work before hitting send" failure..... :oops:
My fingers don't always type what my brain thinks it is telling them.
Duly corrected
Cheers
