The "C329" number is your VIN, that is what is on the frame. The "N . . . " set of letters is the Army registration number and is not part of the VIN.

I swapped out the rusted side panels on my truck a long time ago. I did not need to remove anything to get them off, but some bending and prying was required. It was a lot of work. Try to get some kind of rust inhibitor in the hat channel that runs horizontally along the floor, that catches...

How is the excite wire connected to the new alt? The one that used to go to the 60 amp?

That is a somewhat simple conversion. Nobody makes a specific kit for the M37 that I am aware of. To do the conversion, obtain a turn signal lever, a flasher module, and the interconnection harness. Next get a 40' piece of MS wire from Erik's et al. Get a copy of the M37's wiring diagram...

Oh sorry, assumed you had read the "high speed gears" thread. Premier Metal Buyers in Brenham TX scrapped hundreds of first generation Caiman chassis and kept the powertrain for resale.

Sure if you can find an intermediate third member from a 1G Caiman. Call Premier and see what they did with them all.

That happened to me a few years ago. It would appear DPS gets a bulletin out regarding this event so no alarm is raised when motorists see Jeeps driving around with .50 cals mounted etc and call it in. Your M1010 display is fantastic Madmedic.

Update to this thread: As of April 2016, Worldwide Machinery in Channelview TX has about 15 of these brand new for sale.

Oh sorry. The "M" model number. M1078 mechanical, M1078A1 electronic.

Back when I was doing what you are doing, my rule was, if a body was rolled and the A pillar beam was cracked, the body went in the scrap!

Yes, A0 is mechanical engine, A1 is electronic. Look at the gas pedal. Black plastic is mechanical, silver cast aluminum with "Williams Controls" is electronic. The system is off the shelf and used on THOUSANDS of commercial vehicles for years.

DanM7890 got his airdrop 1081 for a song. Ya'll need to look harder at the dead trucks.

The star is called the national symbol. If you see it and you are not on our side, prepare to meet your maker.

Most of the FMTV is metric. For sure a metric allen socket to remove the fan in case you have to change your water pump belt.

Yes, a civi 12 volt starter from a CJ-5 with the same engine will work fine.

The C pillar mounts in the same place as the troop seats, so the picture you seek will be a bit of a challenge.

This is relatively straightforward, the tricky part is threading the cab over the steering colunm. You have to raise, rotate, and move back more or less at the same time. With your forklift, rig a pair of comealongs to the front and rear of the cab, then pull the chassis forward as you lift.

A deuce will work well for that area, but you will need to upgrade the tires to single 395's and air down like was said. The stock rubber has too much ground pressure in the front and will sink in. Try to find a truck with a winch.

Where did you get this information? Front is the same. Rear not so much.

After about a month the paint turns into jello has been my experience. 12 hrs should be fine.
