Agreed. That homemade top looks awful. I have a set of the soft top frame parts that go over the door that need a new home. Let me check if they are usable and get back with you.

I might add that the Hawker batteries are AGMs and are worth a small fortune, and can last over 10 years if cared for. See about getting a AGM charger/maintainer. If the batteries are severely discharged, only the AGM chargers can bring them back from the dead.

My opinion is that the glow plug functioning has nothing to do with whether the alternator charges or not. Look at the alternator for issues or lack of power to the alternator excite wire.

Welcome. Most sites DO have a forklift, but the standard GP language is "you load it from where is sits". That said, some sites WILL push load your vehicle onto an appropriate trailer, which of course in the case of a drop deck, requires you to have ramps. The sites do not have loading docks...

I never had vapor lock problems here in hot Texas. I would start with the known issues: Holes rusted in the tank pickup tube, issues with the ignition resistor, bad ignition module.

Congratulations. Not everyday does a truck come along with the provenance of thatone.82nd Airborne, 3-319 Airborne FieldArtillery.That truck, along with theM777 howitzer, would get airdropped anywhere something needed to bedestroyed.The 3-319 is still verymuch activated at Bragg.They have1093A1s...

Looking through the MVPA vehicle registry, all the WC-1's have 7 digit VINs. There is a W-26757 which is close to your W-26083 and it's VIN is 8661698. So, based on that, I think I see 866?87? as your VIN. Sand on it some to see if more definition on the stamping appears. Do you have date of...

Parts support for these trucks is abysmal at best. There is no one place you can call that has everything. Some parts come from Cat, some from FinditParts, some from ebay, some from FMTVtrucks.com. I would not BEGIN to consider sinking 6 digits into one of these trucks to make a camper, only...

Is it the photo angle or is that part bent? Sure looks like it. If so you will need a new one. They were aluminum early production.

Rear driveshaft will be too short with a brownie box in there.

So is the consensus that this IS a FAV? I know the FAV add-ons were kinda homemade looking, but the roll bar/gun mount on this one looks weird. Also does not have those different wheels. This is a USMC vehicle though.

Welcome. My personal opinion is to scrap all that stuff. I collect modern radio stuff and that setup does not appear to be something anyone is seeking.

I did a thread on replacing the check valve that lists a commercial part number.

$2600. Bad tires, cab wiring ripped out, no dash, 82 abn rode hard put up wet.

Not much else. Wehring has a XM474 carrier with that engine, and I have the remnants of a A/S32H-12 aircraft loader that had that engine as well. The engine was called 75M.

Well now that the auction is over, we can talk about the truck per site rules. Did you win it?

Agreed with Suprman, disconnect the inverter, charge the batteries, and verify that no vehicle electrical loads are causing the overload. I have had the inverter burn up on a similar vehicle, not a fun experience. More modern inverters are available.

Looks like it was USMC, has the rear lifting brackets installed. Those are hard to find.

Not seeing anything military there. Lots of school bus seats though. I suspect this is shopmade. Oh and welcome to the site.

Try backing out the studs using the gap for access, using a needle nose vise grip plier.
