Well I would enlist an assistant and fire it up briefly and pinpoint where the oil is coming from.

Can you confirm: you say it ran for one minute and in that time 10 gallons of oil ended up on the ground?

I see ?803 on your data plate, that is your vin. However lots of states used the motor number as the vin back in the day, and that would start with 302.

There are two stop switches so that if you apply the trailer brakes using the trolley bar ( brake control on steering column), the brake lights will come on.

Oil sample points. Someone added pipe extensions.

Parts availability for one drivetrain no worse than the other. Hey if you buy that second truck, I have the cut off winch extension frame pieces you would need to fix that frame.

Splits are actually a better driveline than banjo. A group of us took these two split axle trucks on a D-day tour of Europe last year, some 4000 miles between the two, never missed a beat.

Use a tire hammer, 3 whacks and the ring pops off. Then flip over but use a wood block under the wheel such that the rubber is off the ground slightly. Then 3 more whacks and the tire will drop off.

I STRONGLY advise sending a commercial trucker to pick it up. I don't even recommend doing a flat tow with these. Find a local trucker with a Viking drive on trailer that they use for moving logging equipment and send him for it.

Maybe weld up the wrong holes. Not sure exactly what material the flywheel is made out of. But sure making a flywheel out of steel plate would work. The ring gear is shrunk on.

Nothin’. I wondered if it was possible to use one hole and redrill 3 new ones.

The 302 has 6 bolts holding the flywheel to the crank, the 270 has 4. The 302 flywheel for the hydramatic won’t work with a clutch. 302 manual transmission flywheels are impossible to find. The 270 water pump will bolt in place of the 302. The 302 does not have a front motor mount on the...

The instruments are electric and show random readings until you turn on the ignition. Caged brakes only mean no parking brake. But you will want to uncage them prior to the ferry ride.

Maybe center of gravity for lifting.

The delineators are a Europe and I think Korea thing. They have been used there since the 70’s. That tailgate is used as a back porch when the truck carries a S280 shelter.

Well you stole that thing. I see no red flags in the pictures except for the door butcheries. Those delineators say your truck only recently came to your islands. Any two car batteries will get it started, IF it starts. Good luck. Haha and no it doesn’t have “factory A/C”!!!

Well I cannot speak for the Canadian military, but the US military hand engraved numbers on data plates all the time. Your plate was indeed not factory stamped like eaw46’s, but I have never seen someone in the hobbyist market repop M38A1CDN plates. Very likely not done after being surplussed...

How could anyone dispute the 1971 year model when it’s engraved on the main data plate by the Canadian military. I bet the Jeep was delivered as a plain A1 and the Canadian military took the recoilless rifle pieces off an older Jeep and added them to this one.

Well that explains everything. You have a Canadian military M38A1. Says right on the main data plate CDN3. The VIN or mfg serial number is 100190. The other plate with 71-05014 is the Canadian military registration number in front of the serial number. I would guess 71 means 1971 date of...

The last USMC M38A1s came out in 1964 and the newest M38A1C that I see is 1955. Can you send pictures of the dash main data plate and the rear tailgate area. The VIN plates were not held on with screws.
