Here is who you need to talk to: http://garbee.net/~cabell/

Well I am ready to start installing parts (when ever my gasket kit arrives). Worked a deal on a spare engine-for scrap price! I'll pick that up sometime this week.

M43's are naturally top heavy. I doubt it will make a difference.

This is absolutely correct, however; hard to get a real "flat" color. A lot of times has a slight semi-gloss appearance. You might try TM9 Ordnance. they have correct colors for some of the paints in Urethane. http://store.midwestmilitary.com/Catalyzed-Urethane-Paint-Military-Vehicles-s/1968.htm

As I said in my statement, the older manual did say they could be sold if they were updated to meet FMSS standards, I just couldn't re-find it in a short amount of time.

Here is some reading from an old DRMS manual. I couldn't find the older version which basically said that HMMWV's could be sold if they were upgraded to meet FMSS standards. So basically even though legally this shouldn't be an issue, safety standards are what's been listed as the reason for no...

I really believe it's a safety issue. For years the demil manuals (several versions) have stated the HMMWV's were demilled due to safety issues. It was right next to the M151 and Gamma Goat notes. Just because they were deemed "safe" for trained military drivers, doesn't mean the Govt believes...

Bolt pattern is the same.

I have seen several (some good/some bad) with soft top frames that had sheet metal fastened over the frame. What does Barstow truck parts get for them?

I'll find out tomorrow about a complete spare engine... Pretty sure in Provo, there's only one with an engine in it.

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-910057/overview/make/chevrolet $34 and holds just the engine.

When I got the truck the manifold was the only thing holding the exhaust on, guess all that pressure cracked it. I'm not going to try and fix it. I'll just pull another off one of the parts M37/M42's at the surplus store here.

Clinto, you need a set from a 230?

Yep, Looks like I am pulling another engine out off one of the several spare M37/M42's. Dammmm.

So what's wrong with this picture? CRAP!!!!

The part number on the M59 and M215 are the same, so the protector should be the same. I think it would be relatively easy to make one. You just need to find one to replicate. I would call all the big dealers to see if they happened to have a parts truck. If you want I can run over to Jeff's and...

Remember they are also the same as the GMC M215.

Weren't they stretchers that hung from the ceiling?

Wire brush on drill, dremel tool, brakekleen.
