    use backhoe as a crane?

    Agree with Simp, my much larger track hoe struggles to pick up a 3000 lb shelter with the stick out.

    transmission removal

    Either. The trans/transfer assy will be on the ground, if you are rebuilding the trans, the rebuilder will appreciate if you have the adapter off already.

    This was a WWII thing for the most part, and when found on ground vehicles, was symbols painted on tank barrels.

    Galvanized Deuce Wheels

    If you don’t live anywhere near a galvanizer, zinc rich epoxy primer works almost as well. Still have to sandblast to white metal. Don’t leave rust pits or re-rusting will occur.

    PS pump and steering gear box

    The ATF or “power steering fluid” lubes everything inside the steering gear. It may take several flushes to get the water out. Once you have good fluid in there and all bubbles are worked out, the pump should be quiet.

    1955 m38a1

    Gillespie is fine as long as you don't leave the Jeep out in the weather. Which I doubt you will after spending $10,000 on the restoration.

    M38 Hood numbers. Need an experienced eye!

    Looking at this again, there should only be 8 numerals. Hard to say, these trucks got repainted very frequently in the 1950's and it's possible you have uncovered numerals from different stencil jobs.

    Humvee 6.5L engine block coolant plug

    If your 1025A2 engine is a GEP, maybe that drain is something that AM General fixed that GM did not have set up very well on the GM blocks pre-2000.

    M38 Hood numbers. Need an experienced eye!

    I think it might be 201011575. If so, your hood got switched at some point. I would use what is on the Jeep now, not the calculated number, seems more correct even though it may be wrong.

    Does anyone know if these are omnidirectional like the regular ones? Dave will be making a sale if so.

    I think the spacers are 1/4” x 2”, just to provide a base for the fifth wheel above the frame rivets.
