That is the inverter. The HMMWV contact trucks do not have a generator. The compressor and other 120v acessories run off of the inverter powered by 28V, and the welder is powered by a 140 amp 12v civilian alternator on the engine.
Picked up the contact truck body I won on a GSA sale today. Had to sit it kind of slanted on the trailer, but the frame was plenty strong to carry it like that. The folks at GSA were very helpful and easy to work with.
The body is complete, all the doors work, and there is very little damage...
TM-5-4940-200-12 Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance Truck Mounted Set No 3 (Southwest Model SECM) FSN 4940-294-9518 Manual
That is the manual for the one with the gas welder, but 95% or better of the tool laod is the same.
Should be a 3/8x 36"matched pair.
MS51065-36-2 should be Goodyear, Dayco
5133178 is GM and Economy
9580 should be Gates, Carquest and NAPA but double check the length.
16857 is the Hyster number
I just got a HMMWV contact truck body, and am looking at doing just this. I will have to fabricate the bottom floor to it, but that should be easy enough
Leave them connected- doing this works if the batteries are weak, but may not if they are dead.
Wal-Mart sells a 6 amp 12v charger for aroudn $25- get one and charge each battery about 12 hours, or charge the front one and jump the rear.
CUCV IP's are 12v, the HMMWV ones are 24v and you would have to swap the top cover/solenoid for a 12v one to make it work. A rebuilt civvy pump is cheaper and easier unless you have a real cheap source for HMMWV pumps.
The pump from the K10 should be a straight bolt in.
I may have missed it, but are vendors OK, and what is the fee? I might load a bunch of goodies up and come out. I just scored a bunch of GI vehicle first aid kits, the ones in the plastic box, and they need good homes.
A self-supporting fun trip is always good :driver:
I got it in Columbia- probably swiped it from under your nose.:-P
I have seen them sell anywhere from $500-2000 depending on condition, what tools are there and if the compressor is there.
If your interested PM me, I am open to selling it or trading it.....
I just picked up the contact body from a HMMWV, with many of the tools.
I can't decide if I am going to try and mount it to a trailer to make a contact trailer or see if someone else wants to mount it on a HMMWV or a flatbed pickup.

I have more if you really need them..
Honestly, if it already has the 12v distributer, and you just want to get it going, looking at the fact that it will never be stock again I would get a 12v starter and a generic 1 wire alternator. That will cost you far less than going back to 24v.
Yup- start easy, and preview, preview, preview.
I have been buying government surplus for over 20 years, and still am uncomfortable buying something like a truck just based on pictures. GL often uses the wrong pictures and/or misrepresents the vehicle in the description.
Remember in your...
Honestly, it wasn't really that bad of an engine, but it was way ahead of its time being an OHC design, and complex to maintain. The market for a Jeep pickups was mostly to farmers who liked to maintain their own stuff, so an overly complex engine for its time wasn't good.
The early ones were...
