    PS pump and steering gear box

    The ATF or “power steering fluid” lubes everything inside the steering gear. It may take several flushes to get the water out. Once you have good fluid in there and all bubbles are worked out, the pump should be quiet.

    1955 m38a1

    Gillespie is fine as long as you don't leave the Jeep out in the weather. Which I doubt you will after spending $10,000 on the restoration.

    M38 Hood numbers. Need an experienced eye!

    Looking at this again, there should only be 8 numerals. Hard to say, these trucks got repainted very frequently in the 1950's and it's possible you have uncovered numerals from different stencil jobs.

    Humvee 6.5L engine block coolant plug

    If your 1025A2 engine is a GEP, maybe that drain is something that AM General fixed that GM did not have set up very well on the GM blocks pre-2000.

    M38 Hood numbers. Need an experienced eye!

    I think it might be 201011575. If so, your hood got switched at some point. I would use what is on the Jeep now, not the calculated number, seems more correct even though it may be wrong.

    Found New Armored Windshields

    Does anyone know if these are omnidirectional like the regular ones? Dave will be making a sale if so.

    fifth wheel

    I think the spacers are 1/4” x 2”, just to provide a base for the fifth wheel above the frame rivets.

    Generator removal question

    That small spark is caused by a conductive path inside the starter switch.

    None or very little metal prep rust preventer

    Cold galvanize paint. That stuff works wonders.

    fifth wheel

    That is the correct one. There are two spacers that go underneath made of flat bar.

    The charging circuit does not go through any circuit breakers.

    7MC-2A Air Compressor

    15 cfm at 200 psi? Not usable for much.

    M38A1 questions

    Definitely worth a look. Yes the '64's were USMC and had lockers supposedly. The V6 is easily undone and the setup with bellhousing adapter etc will be in demand by someone building a flat fender CJ. Plenty of F134 engines around still. Edit: other USMC specific items are the "airlift"...
