What is completely apparent is that the windshield, which is supposed to support the vehicle in a rollover, failed miserably in this accident. The B pillar did not fail thankfully.
Some nice ones came up not long ago up your way on GSA. You are correct, these trucks are getting OLD and those that have not been cared for are getting scrapped every day. That being said, there still seem to be more of these trucks available than people willing to take them in. As far as...
I can only offer this information: The military 302 has the bellhousing specific for the Hydramatic transmission, and that bellhousing is special for that transmission and is not in any way similar to a modern Chevy bellhousing or anything else for that matter. When you remove the military 302...
If you don't like black, it is not "the truck you always wanted". Buy one that IS the color you want. This looks like a quick flip paint job that will be peeling off in weeks. Nobody has done the entire proper FMTV A/C install yet. What is being done is the HMMWV kit scab-on, driving off the...

I did not have to remove the rear panel. I had to do some prying and bending, but it went together OK. Memory of this is a little fuzzy, I did this replacement around 1985. There are still a few bolts I have yet to put back, but I will get a round tuit one day.
Have her investigate that vehicles from the 70's and before did not have 15 digit VINs. This should be in her guidebooks. My 5 ton truck has the VIN listed as the C . . . number.
