Welcome. Yes that trailer used to have a large washer and dryer extractor mounted on it. There is a picture of the complete unit in TM9-2800 Standard Military Vehicles, 1947 edition.. Then, just like now, people would scrap the washing equipment to get the trailer. I had one identical to...

Transfer case should last indefinitely with proper lube inside and no abuse.

Warmer means drag and friction. Wheel end spider still not set up right.

Cat in bad shape, smoke from draft tube never simple fix

Two things I would not do in your situation: try to open and fix the transfer away from home, or install any transfer "take out" that is not known 100% to be good.

Well that sucks. Replacing the transfer case is a arduous job that has to be done with proper lifting equipment. Look into what options you have for getting towed to a truck repair facility. A faster option to get home might be to have your truck hauled along with you. A transportation...

Yes, ms means military standard, and the newer gauges work with older senders and opposite. Main thing is match up the pressure ranges. By ammeter, I assume you mean battery/generator indicator? It needs an ignition switched power feed.

No problem towing it 500 feet. Seller needs to do whatever he can to accommodate an 18 wheeler. Driver will not want to back up that far or operate in a residential area. Nothing on display as I said can be many many problems. Get it home as Suprman advised and then you can start...

Oh, you are providing confusing information. By saying "no codes" that tells us you know how to pull the codes and the display is working. But now you say "nothing on display". That could be any one of 100 things wrong to cause that. As far as hauling your truck, you want Joey at United...

Your data plate says right there WO/W, so yes, the winch was added. Winch added = good thing.

You are THE BEST! See if you can upload it to the TM section of this site. I will buy a copy if you burn it on a CD or memory stick. Try to get the other -20 as well.

No codes means keypad is shot. Send it to transmissioninstruments.com for free verification.

You should definitely use those as the VIN. Buy a new data plate and stamp those numbers there as well. The tax office will understand that a 1970 vehicle will not have a 17 digit standard VIN.

13641 is the 13,641st truck they made on that contract, or something like that.

Thanks to David Doyle for this info: “05” trucks were contracted in 1970. This lot was one of thelargest groups, comprised of some 16,000 trucks. Three manufacturers completedthis lot. The first of these appeared with Kaiser-Jeep data plates, followed bythe brief use of General Products...

Gov threw them a lifeline, can't have a major defense contractor go under.

Sounds like a good idea, let us know how it works out. ANYTHING is better than those chrome coils.

I know what you are going through. First of all welcome to the site. These crap chrome coils have been an issue for many years now and nobody is dealing with the problem in the supply chain. Personally, I am using old US military coils. It is possible to mount a coil outside the ignitor, and...

Hate to be a party pooper but next thing to check are the driveshaft slip joints for ANY movement up/down. Vibration from there is what shakes this all loose at highway speeds. Have him check the alternator for loose bolts as well.

Looks like the usual cracked timing gear case due to loose or missing bolts holding the air compressor.
