Pretty sure that’s the truck Berand got stranded in with a blowout and posted here needing rescue. Better check the remaining tires for age over 8 years. They will blow out too.

The Christmas lights and the Red Cross are previous owner add ons and I’m not talking about Uncle.

Welcome. Without a doubt Kaiser built these A1s from scratch. At the time, CJ-5s were being churned out in Toledo so the minor tooling changes needed for A1s would have been easy. Rebuilds were almost never done on manufacturer’s assembly lines.

My 10 cents: skip the ancient 5 tons for cross-United States adventures. Get a MTVR from California.

She’s a beauty! Love mine, drove it everywhere back in the day.

I would grab my voltmeter and soldier b and have them press the start button while I measure for voltage present at the starter solenoid and relay.

What does that cross into, like a 4x4 Explorer?

The mil dumps are well suited to hauling stumps and brush with the tailgate configured in the rocker mode.

Sure no problem to pull it with fender on. Watch your distributor timing, it requires the gear go back clocked the same way.

Very much so, better than ever, even have an ebay store now. Not open on weekends. New Boston is also home to the Feltz tire empire.

Its a mix. You will need both.

The axle ratings and the truck GVWR are two different things. The truck is rated to carry 10 tons. See the data plate on the dash.

Tandem rating 44,000

Try a really long box end wrench.

Yes the resistor reduces 24 to 12 volts. With the ignitor cover off, stick a solid wire core ignition wire into the coil tower and crank, this will remove the cap and wires from the equation for diagnostics.

Your VIN is the same as the mfg serial number M14479 which will also be stamped in the frame by the left front spring shackle. Go to your DMV and have them run the number. If it comes back with no data, ask them the process for lost title.

I looked, your s/n is not there but it appears the change from 1964 to 1965 happened around s/n 10600 so you have a 1964 which was a great year to be born in.

Your son probably got it exactly right. Check Carnac’s new VIN thread, your s/n might be in there.

This happens due to air getting sucked into the system in return lines that have pinhole leaks that don’t drip for some reason.
