My -34P dated 1985 shows 35", the NSN says 35", I have not replaced mine. Looks like you need the fan belts, not the water pump belts Mutt Parts are listing.
The belts on mine were so dry rotted that they just pulled off in pieces. Mark, they are a standard size 3/8 x 35(water pump) v-belt a very common size, you should be able to get them locally very easy. A common part number is 3L-350. The longer fan belts(1/2x67) are 4L670.

No actual work on the goat itself today but managed to clean, blast and paint a bunch of parts. I ran out of semi gloss od and zinc chromate primer. I guess I need to recruit a new supply SGT. I still need to order the inserts for the rear lights and the lenses for the front marker lights...

I have not messed with the engine yet. I am going to try your method though, between work and other non mv related projects I have not dedicated the time to do it yet. And I think I am also afraid it wont free and I will have another big job in front of me. It was running great and drove up...
Today between rain showers the task was separating the carrier from the apple orchard project. I had planned on a day of torching, pounding, cussing, rust, bruises etc. Just the opposite, the two carrier pins tapped right out, the u joint and steering shaft separated and it popped apart...
That is a nice ambulance, a lot of nice always missing goodies in the back, even has the cold weather lined canopy. I've got Tom covered on the shift boot. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
August is blueberry season here, so be sure to have me send some parts then. When I send something I want it to be right, taking the extra time to rebuild the latches for you is part of that. My other set of seats has chain instead of cable so I guess there are two types out there. Enjoy.
