Can you squeeze a battery impact driver in there? That impact action tends to loosen things better than raw torque.

Not military, that is a late 60's CJ-5. Unless you want a CJ-5, clean it up and flip it to someone who is crazy about those.

Grab the head of the clevis pin with vise grips then wedge a screwdriver between the assy and the jaw.

As far as bed holes, often these carried the PE-95 generator. Would be a centered rectangular pattern.

There is some kind of retrofit kit to add an access panel in the truck floor right above the fuel pickup, I don’t know any details on this.

That pulse is the self-resetting circuit breaker reacting to a short circuit in the lighting circuit. Find the short circuit. The circuit breaker is inside the light switch.

I would not use it. Too old, this technology would not be considered safe anymore.

The original intent was that you pull the entire grille/core support/nose as one piece.

No, I would locate the problem and fix it and replace any wires that have degraded insulation. No need to replace good parts.

It sounds to me that bad things have happened inside the headlight bucket(s). Lots of wires stuffed in there.

The headlight ground wires can have worn off insulation and it won't cause a short.

Check the rubber hose on top of the fuel tank.

OK I am not following you exactly, but that does not matter, you need to do a visual inspection of the harness, just poking around with the ohm meter will just tell you what you already know, is that somewhere the hot wire is rubbing against the chassis.

It there an aluminum airlift bumper? Never heard of that.

Any wiring that is frayed or has crumbling insulation needs to be replaced. Erik's Surplus has everything you need.

The clicking is the self resetting circuit breaker inside the light switch keeping your truck from catching fire. You still have a dead short to ground somewhere in the headlight wiring. It could be the dimmer switch, it could be inside the buckets, who knows until you start looking for it.

I started a thread not long ago asking the same question. Somebody advised what the blown apart diode is for, it is not essential. If your voltmeter is dipping indicating glow current flowing, your box might still be alive. Tobash can you link the threads you mentioned, I cannot find them.

My guess is that Uncle refused delivery of more trucks due to the unresolved bellhousing cracking issue.

Oh I can explain that. For reasons only known to Stewart and Stevenson, hundreds and hundreds of trucks sat undelivered for years outside the Sealy plant. I would drive by there in awe back in the 90’s.
