Welcome! Did you get the green 4 man or the tan 2 man?

Welcome! You joined an exclusive club when you bought your Otters. Amazing how they all seem to end up in Alaska. Post pictures when you get time. Also what are your plans for the non-runner?

Not a NIKE shelter, I have one of those: (3) Recovery of Director Van M259A1 from NASA | SteelSoldiers

See if you can find evidence of data plates being attached somewhere such as the door. There would be 4 holes for rivets or screws. I kinda think this shelter has something to do with a telephone switch, given the pads inside. If so it’s not military.

Wow that be picked to the bone. Good choice for a build. No parts to get rid of.

What are your plans for the transmission? The wet 350 might have the Novak adapter to couple a GM bellhousing to the T98. The 350 can handle 3200 rpm at 60 mph but the 6.2 not so much. So the T98 might have to go.

Will you try to fix that hood? I recall finding a decent hood was a challenge 20 years ago.

If you have a GEP engine which most likely you do, it is certainly a candidate for overhaul. Might just need the bottom end done which is not difficult.

I had no idea USMC used M715s AT ALL! Do you have pics?

When I got my 884 from (then) Ft Hood, all the auction trucks from cann point were missing the transfer case. I installed a 2WD transmission and driveshaft and drove it like that for years, getting around 15 mpg. When I finally got a transfer case and installed it, I was not pleased that fuel...

Yes for sure use the frame number for registration, anything else is a slippery slope. The military wouldn’t have converted a cargo truck into a shop van truck, I suspect that occurred after release by DOD. I also suspect the previous owner had hopes of adding the winch but never got a round tuit.

This number comes back as a 1968 M35A2 wo/winch cargo truck. Mfgr would be Kaiser Jeep. Data from the Carnac VIN info thread.

They don’t call these “High Maintenance Money Wasting Vehicles” for no reason. Hey you can rip around in limp mode second gear if you want. TCM not needed for that.

Consensus here seems to be the TCMs are basically interchangeable over the years. They have different flashes based on GVW of the truck they are intended for. Pin out is the same. You said you could find TCMs in a junk yard, since there are no HMMWV junk yards, I assumed you meant commercial...

Welcome, Nobody that I am aware of has made a homemade adapter for the TCM. The TCM was only used in 1 year (I recall 1993) GM vehicles with 6.2 diesel and 4L80E, so finding this in a junkyard will be a challenge. Quite a few folks on here are parting out auction trucks, suggest you run a...

I plan on telling the wife that you can get a mowing deck for it so I won’t have to buy a new John Deere tractor which is very expensive.

I’m guessing Uncle didn’t replace the core, they supplied an entire new radiator. However on the commercial side, cores are replaced all the time. Suggest you contact a radiator shop that specializes in huge industrial radiators.

That same rim is used on every 3/4 ton pickup truck ever made in the US. What a load of crap you were told.

Sounds awful. Rod knock is what I hear.

Is it missing AND knocking or only knocking? A thermal gun pointed at the exhaust manifold can help you determine if a cylinder is not contributing. Is the alternator firmly attached? They have a tendency to break bolts and then rattle.
