Here is a link for M60 platform mounts. http://www.cranetechnologiesinc.com/M60PlatformMount.html I bought a couple of them to use on some airsoft A&K M60's I have. I had to mod them a bit to work with the airsoft rifles but not too bad and could still be used with a real M60. I had to add a...
When you input the vehicle type you get one that looks like this and is too long to fit with the Military dist. http://www.autozone.com/external-engine/fuel-pump/airtex-fuel-pump/jeep/j-pickup/1967/6-cylinders-3-8l-1bl/775700_806779_0/ but they do show a dual action pump with vacuum at...
I was able to buy an Airtex one about 18 months ago for my M725 I just finished from Autozone for around $35. The listed fuel pump for the civilian 230 does not work with the military dist. due to the extra size of the military dist. and I can not think of which application the 6510 fit. I'll...
It also looks like it has a civilian dist., plug wires and spark plugs and I would check to see if they converted it to 12v. A lot of the hard to find usually missing parts look like they are still on yours which is a great thing, especially the tailgate. What's missing looks to be common...
Ok let me get this straight, I'm a "jack leg" for swapping out the fuel pump to a civilian unit and electric wipers, yet keeping the rest of the truck stock. But your suggestion is to swap the motor, transfer case and a whole bunch of other things and that's OK. Talk about being a hypocrite.
The negative lead goes to the same mounting point on the frame as the motor grounding strap and the positive lead goes to the positive battery side of the foot switch. None of the slave cable leads run all the way into the battery box. Somewhere in one of the manuals it shows this. Remember...
Well Bob I'm glad that you think my suggestion of a quick, and simple replacement of the fuel pump with the civilian version is such a "jack leg" idea to help a guy get a vehicle going. Maybe if you were not so condescending most of the time people might value your posts more than they do.
The nice thing is that if the stock fuel pump is shot, you can simply swap in the civilian model pump which is an AC 6510 and is fairly cheap compared to the military version and can be bought at most any auto parts store. The only thing that will not work is the civilian model doesn't have the...
Yes there were updates to the motor, including relocating the rear oil line to the side of the block and changing it to a hard line. A few other motor updates and the moved the batteries behind the seats and added a passenger bench seat similar to the style in a deuce. And the raised the side...
That is correct, these were made to compete in a contract bid against the upgrade M715E1 in the early 70's before the Army decided to scrap the whole idea of "combat trucks" in favor of civilian base vehicles which was awarded to the Dodge 880 series in 1976. Upgraded lighting to the new larger...
Wow that sounded extremely painful to do. When I did mine, I just let it sit out in the sun for a while to get nice and warm. Slid right on without having to unbolt anything. A little pulling to get it over the rear bar, but not that bad. Pulled it nice and tight with the ropes on the back...
Link is nice, but why pay double of what it cost to just grab a can of "school bus" yellow from Napa. It is the same color, it is just labeled that way because most people don't understand what the color chrome yellow really is. They think it is yellow tinted "chrome" paint.
Can't be the same one, as the one here is going to be set up in Ludington Wednesday to Monday.http://www.shorelinemedia.net/ludington_daily_news/news/local/article_de5c9c4c-2a7b-11e4-9034-0019bb2963f4.html
It is also coming up the west coast of Michigan at the same time. It will pass through Hart Michigan tomorrow at Noon on it's way to Ludington where it will spend Labor Day weekend on display. The local VFW has asked me to bring my vehicles out to help with the escort through Hart and it's...
Bob, I think my buddy Jim might have some as he bought 2 M37's so that he can build one out of the best parts and should have extras. I try and find you tomorrow, I'll be in a black Damage Inc. T-shirt with Beast on the name tag.
