You have to remember that there was no Army plan to make gun trucks. So there is no official documents to says this goes here or that goes there. The trucks were built by the GIs with just an OK from the unit commander. The layout of the bed of the truck was what ever worked best for the guys...

I may have one. I'm not at home today to look on my PC, but I will look tomorrow and if I have I will DM you.

You did good as that is believe it or not the approved motor pool method of fixing canvas bead holders. Or at least it was here in NE Ohio when I was in service. Truck looks great!

Just a follow up. Yes that is the correct part number for the slinger. Thank you @gringeltaube for providing that. Now it seems that this is the unicorn of mid to late 70's Dodge parts. I've checked all the auto part chains and I've checked Napa...my local Napa is useless they can't find a...

Okay I misspoke. That looks like it's the right part number. Now just need to find a supplier who has it. Thanks.

Nope that's the inner seal that goes inside the steering knuckle. The one I'm looking for goes outside the knuckle and is on the axle shaft. It is sort of hat shaped.

The Philippines are notorious for modifying off road trucks.

Why not look for a doubler for the Roxor? I think the aftermarket biz is making it. Bolts on to t-case and superlow gearing. Let Google be your guide.

Hello all, I'm looking for the part number for the above mentioned outer axle shaft seal. This is pressed onto the shaft and seals up against the steering knuckle. I buggered mine all to heck and need a replacement. Anyone have a part number or where to get them? Thanks.

That's so weird not hearing a motor running only the drive train and tires and the squeak of the body. Good job! Will be interested in how it performs on road when you get all the details worked out.

I use to have a neighbor who was a mechanic at a warehouse that used forklifts that had the civilian version of the M151 motor in them. Looking at that picture my gut feeling is that this is one such engine set up to run on other fuel sources. Maybe propane? The tow-motors he worked on ran on...

What I'm about to say is from foggy memory of working on these things 25-30 years ago and it's been a good 15 years since I owned one....but I thought the M151 floor between the seats has dimples for where to drill the holes for the pedestal mount and for the two legs that come back to hold it...

The font looks good to me.

Is it field day? And I'm at work! Dang nambit! 73, K8ICU K

I agree with what other's have posted here. The M151 motor was designed as an industrial motor for Forklifts and Generators. It works well in the 151 because they aren't much bigger than a forklift. Load a 151 down with people gear and a loaded trailer and the peppy jeep becomes a tired dog...

Have you tried going to a different DMV office in another town? Go with hat in hand and a smile on your face and in a nice soft voice say "yes ma'am (or sir) I need your help" and see if you can get a sympathetic person to fix your problem? I understand that the California DMV is the "hold my...

You might try a web search for a replacement tank...someone's got to be making them....right?

Looks to me that someone (some people) took the military m211 and a military excavator and married them together. Now the bigger mystery is did the military do it or was it done in civilian life? If done in the military it was done in a unit and the unit figured it would be better to ask for...

Something to think about with your axles. M37s can break axles shafts on wet grass...Yes I've seen one do that. The grass was wet and when the driver gave it some gas and the tire spun the shaft snapped. Also, if you're going to repower to go 60-65 then you might want to convert to disk...

The Gm 6.2 and 6.5 diesels will fit in the M47/M43 engine compartment. You will have to make motor mounts of some type to put the motor in the truck. You will have to hunt down a manual transmission flywheel as HMMWV have automatics and therefor have a pressure plate and torque converter...
