Hi, As long as it runs well, I'd just keep the V6 and fix up the body and find some combat wheels.

Did the wipers work? When the diaphragm for vacuum goes bad the pump will suck oil and usually make the engine smoke.

Hi. Transfer case may be in neutral. Any lube in the xfer case? Change the lube, 90wt, and then see if the levers move properly. Good luck.

The yellow metal safe feature is important as most early jeep transmissions have yellow metal parts. In the past, some GL5 rated gear oils were found to attack yellow metal parts (as found in synchronizers).

Seems like the DUKW was safer than the bus.

The passenger seat for the M170 is the "holy grail" of jeep parts. Also on the scarce list are the driver's seat, the gas tank, the windshield frame, the spare tire bracket and the upper litter hanging parts. Also, the rear litter support brackets have usually been cut off. There's a guy in...

For 7K, tell him to get a title for it. A lesson I have learned: It's better to buy a running/driving vehicle for a higher price than to buy a low price project and spend the money anyway on endless parts and time.

Hi, Jeep parts are generally easy to get. Check with your state's DMV about the title. Some states make it very difficult to get a title for a vehicle that doesn't have one. You could end up with an expensive yard monument. If you have to work on it, you probably shouldn't pay over...

Check for extra spring leaves in the rear springs.

Sounds like fun. What kinds of tracked vehicles have you lined up?

Hi, I once drove an Army CJ-5 in 1980 at Camp Humphries, Korea. It was a TMP vehicle.

Hi. A friend of mine bought a van like this out of Chambersburg. The yard man drove it up to the gate. All it needed was a new soft top and air in the front tires. He drove it 170 miles back to VA. It had some bad plywood panels in the interior and the AC eqpt. was removed.

Hi, I have a GPW from May '42. You should get "All American Wonder, The Military Jeep 1941-1945, Vol. I and Vol. II by Ray Cowdery. Try Amazon.

Sometimes in a pressurized fuel system, the pressure will push fuel thru the carb in to the manifold then into cylinders and into the crankcase. I bought an M38A1 that had been sitting and it had a lot of gas in the oil. A bad fuel pump can also dump gas into the oil. This condition can...

Helped a friend recover a 5t M934 expansible van from Chambersburg on Monday. We arrived after lunch, signed in with the nice young lady in the office and waited by the office for the yard man. He pulled up in a HUMVEE, looked at the paperwork and said a "wait here and I'll drive it up". 15...

FYI, there is an SR-71 on static display at the aviation museum at the Richmond International Airport (RIC) in Richmond, VA.

That model deuce-based fire truck with the turret nozzle is the 530C.

A lot of Marine M38A1's started out as used army vehicles. They sent truck loads of them to Barstow where they were disassembled down to components in piles. All parts were cleaned, rebuilt, painted and reassembled randomly into complete Jeeps. Some Marine Jeeps built in the late 60's had...

Jeff Davis, Sir. Hope you getting better and wishing you a great Turkey day.

Just a thought. Others may want to comment. Should he use an additive in the fuel based on the difference between 1985 fuel and 2013 fuel?
