The bow corners are the same as modern deuce/5 ton. The top wood curved sections are available from JATONKA35.COM, same as M135 or M34. So are the wood staves. Troop seats are similar, but not the same as M35A2.
Good to know. You are saying the little yellow terminal on the 200 amp HMMWV alt (intended to power the 4L80E brain) has enough azz to run all the 12 volt loads on a FMTV? Thats a lot of amps when you figure lights and heater fan.
It is a breather, look for a small poly line that should be attached there. I would reconnect the line, refill the hub, clean the oil up, and go for a ride. Most likely the oil is coming from the seal.
Nate has a M1078A1, and those switches in the battery box area are unique to the A1's and not covered in the basic M1078 manual series. The A1's technical manuals are only available electronically to the military.
Yup that switch is bad, did not like being submerged. Get the part number off the label on it and Google it and see what you come up with. Should be a commercial part available from truck supply sources in Houston.

What does the entire truck weigh presently? That will determine what Cummins engine will be best suited. Also, is the transfer case attached to the transmission as in the online Transmatic pictures? Not many Allison transmissions are set up like that, most drive a stand alone transfer case...
The USMC cut those off because someone figured out they are not load rated. Not answering your question though. I would stop by a heavy duty truck spring shop and have them make a pair for you.
Looking a pictures of the transmission on Google images, it would appear that the ZF has some form of DIN German bellhousing. Truck engines made in the US have what is called a SAE bellhousing which is non-metric. I suspect you will have trouble mating the SAE bellhousing with a DIN...
See if the circuit breaker holds in stop light position. If so, a short circuit has occurred in the marker and headlight wiring. See if the breaker holds if you switch to high beam, that would eliminate the tail and marker light circuits.
