Hat channels are available by themselves. Replacing the front and rear floor is brutal, zillions of spot welds have to be cut between the floor and everything else. And then the front floor does not go all the way up the firewall, so you have to weld a seam which is no fun. All the Jeep parts...

Welcome from the Houston area. A bunch of us here are building up 1101's for the same reason, camping trips to Big Bend and Gila National Forest (NM) areas with our sons. My buddy is building a Excursion on 37s as a trail rig and I have my 2000 Chevy 3500 4x4 coming together. HMMWV's are a...

Welcome! 275s are fun nimble trucks, you will enjoy zipping around bobtail. Which multifuel is under the hood?

Any way to remove the existing pump from the pto and use it? That would eliminate the research project. Try getting the radiator rodded out.

Great news. Yes there is an aftermarket replacement for the switch, take if off and bring it to NAPA or similar. If they can't cross it, there is a thread here with the part number that will take some searching to find. Next thing that will leave you stranded is the alternator, with the 7155...

That trailer is intended to be used with the White 666 ECT truck-tractor. There is a picture of the combination in the Crimson book. It is listed in TM9-2800 as Semitrailer low bed, front loading 20 ton gooseneck. Made by Lacrosse and others. 14.00-20 tires. Use by engineers to move cranes...

TM9-8014 sez to pull the engine/transmission as a "pack" and stab the trans with everything on the floor in front of your eyes. I have done it both ways and I assure you doing it like the TM says is way easier.

Ouch. Get a multimeter and trace the 12 volt feed from the batteries back to the ignition switch. The ignition switch is a weak point for that truck.

Chase the threads with a "hex die for thread repair" from McMaster. I do this 100% of the time now to clean paint and rust from the threads before disassembling wheels.

Sweet Converto Microjeep. Googling "Converto Airborne Dump" turns up some tidbits. Plans for the tailgate used to be on the net somewhere, I have a hard copy if you need it. I was able to fabricate a tailgate for mine. As valuable as those trailers are, I would spring for some new rubber...

Post a pic of the yellow paint/primer. In your pictures, all I see is the usual faded WWII OD patina. These trucks take a while to restore. Only good thing about that is, you can buy a 7.50-20 tire every few months without killing the budget by buying them all at once.

For future reference, the M915/M916 series trucks (pictured) has the RIGHT pair of batteries connected in series with the LEFT pair of batteries. This is different from the FMTV trucks where the FRONT battery pair is connected in series with the BACK battery pair.

Solid Jimmy! Yup that valve is factory, it is there for running through concertina wire, in case the brake hose is ripped off, you can keep on.

Yes, just a couple of overhead shots of the compressor and belts so I can see what I am missing. Ruler not required. Thanks, this will be quite useful for a lot of us.

Sandcobra, if you could post some pics of that setup from your work wrecker or other I would be eternally grateful.

Your 12 volt dash voltmeter pegged out tells me your regulator crapped out. The headlights were never converted to 24 volt to the best of my knowledge.

Can you post a picture of your alternator? We will need to know what you have to assist with diagnosis. The stock set up is a Leece Neville 130 amp with piggyback transformer rectifier unit.

I'm never sure of anything in this hobby, but as far as 1000's of wo/w USMC deuces ALL having factory PTOs, I personally have not seen that to be the case. I hope to be corrected if I am wrong!

That is a M939 series 5 ton thing only.
