Welcome to the hobby, you have a good start in the vehicle you are restoring. You can Google for information, and there is a good few sites with details about your truck. Have you searched through Steel Soldiers forums yet?

Wouldn't it be nice if the blades..Whistled.

Now that, is one nicely thought out (and needed) Idea.

You could eat your dinner of that truck. Nice.

I like that little bleeder (!) I will have to make one up too. Glad you sorted the task out.

Well done and welcome to the hobby. You are persevering and going the way we all did when we got our first trucks. (and second, and third and...) Great initiative, check out everything you (hopefully) read on forums here on new pickups. The tools and equipment you Might (have) needed can not be...

Well if that were me, I would be tempted to take a hot wire straight from the battery, and run it something/anything going in the direction of lights, switch. or accessories. I have a hot wire tester with a (very) sharp point which I can insert into any wire (or contact) to make it Live. Just a...

Well seems to me if any inclanation of the vehicle causes power loss (and of course then the engine/exhaust sound would change) Something is "clogging up" somewhere. Have you checked the tank? and filter cases?.(water). I would start the vehicle chock it securely and them Jack It up to...

Well served. And That is a project and a half! Welcome to the hobby and friendships. ( Now I wonder where that body could Possibly have come from?) Keep the pictures coming.

I would definatly work on freeing that transmission. It is in "wind up" with the engine.

Welcome, That was such a bad luck miss inspection. Hope you get the problem fixed and then you can enjoy the truck. The site and the hobby.

Crikey..can't believe that is worth bringing back to order. No task too..... ? your motto.

Found this on utube while perusing for something else. Glad I did, My truck is the 5 Ton with the huge tires and that funny looking haglan body, long since discarded and now fitted with a praga radio cabin. How I wish the war and peace was back at that old venue https://youtu.be/pnapl4HUUWE

Wow "old metal" soldiers never die! Do it proud and Pretty it up with some camo. Bet the winch still works. And it would carry that tank full.

On the wiper front, Get replacement electric wipers. Much better and more reliable. The windows? well they should fit properly and the rubber seals surrounding them should seal any gaps, or something is out of shape. All mine shut properly and don't let water in.

A picture in the rain will be fine. Can't wait.

With that dimmer switch disconnected, Try a jump wire from the battery with a fuse in line, to the dip beam wire, OK, then try the main beam wire. If the main beam wire is shorting I would run a new good wire from the dimmer switch to the headlamps. There will be a junction at the front...

Try TM9-2320-211-10 From TM9-2320-211-20-3-2 : 19-3. : (TO) 36A12-1C-422--1-3 Good hunting hope you find what you need.

Now that is a decent modification. Adopted..Thank you.

Welcome and well served. Now relax, take up the hobby, fix the bantam then (absolutely) get a jeep project (to keep you occupied) to tow it with. The collection will grow. I was cutting down myself..BUT..I have seen a mutt 151 A1. Always wanted one..so, Negotiating as we speak so as to speak!.
