Spare shaft? I'm a little slow tonight maybe it's winter setting in, but I don't understand what part your looking for. Are you looking for the upper A arm? Or are you looking for an axle shaft?

Your kidding right?

Get a CUCV. There are a couple in the forsale section. If you own a duce in suburbia you almost have to put it in a storage lot because neighbors just don't understand OD. Good luck.

Nice job by your neighbor.....and I'm going to nit pick...:) Tell him to turn the spare gas can around. The spout should face the spare tire. This was common practice with M151s because a full can would exspand and if the seal was not the best (which they never are) the can could leak onto...

You were lucky in getting the engine to restart diesels don't like air in the fuel system...Rule #3...don't run out of fuel on a duce and carry that extra 5 gal can on the running board full for just such an emergency...in case you don't head rules 1 and 2.

Nice pics. Are you turning it into a cargo truck or just wanted the van body off so you could clean things up?

RE: Re: RE: Camo Pattern.... Yes it is basically the four color camo from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. It looks GI to me. Probably has runs and sags in it too...lol.

RE: Picked up the truck... Pics Not a bad looking truck. You have every right to smile till it hurts! Congrats on your new ride!

If you want to do a what if or concept dodge wouldn't the cummins 6BT be a better diesel since that is what dodge offered at that time?

RE: RV Problem with the expandable bodies is if you look at the last pic the line down the middle of the body where you have the light green and the dark gray are the celing and floor when the thing is open up. So you don't really have all that much room for the camper gear unless you plan on...

Check your grounds also...Lack of ground can cause amazing problems.... :)

Looks almost like WWII OD...House paint I love it!... :) Truck looks good too!

RE: m-220 I don't remember a M211 bed having that strange cut out in the back. Do you know where the bed came from?

Asa far as I know Ford, Willys/Kaiser, and AMG were the only manufactures of M151. I agree above probably a left over from the Veitnam war. Maybe even just left there when we pulled out. Then fixed up by the local population.

The GM 6.2 or 6.5 with trans as stated above will work very well as has Cummins 4BTs out of bread/delivery trucks with attached transmission also work.

RE: picture of duece Nice looking truck. Looks like my old one.

I've seen that before. It was in the early 70's its a M151A2 they distroy and it looks like they have a simple roll bar and the dummys are seat belted in. In a normal 151 the driver and passinger with out seat belts would have been thrown. Maybe early ROPS testing??

I was going to ask the same thing......There is a company I think that makes a one piece replacement windshield...I forget who it was now.

Mike, just get a good automotive paint for the frame. Your local parts store that carries paint should be able to hook you up with a semi-gloss black. The POR-15 is what is going to protect the frame the top coat is for finnish more than anything.

On the altinator question yes you could put a later 24V military altinator on the truck, but the electrical would not be a easy hook-up. The Army did make a kit for duces and 5 tons and I suppose it would work on the M37, but I have no idea where to find the kit.
