    M43 is home

    Yo Toddbe; During the past 15 or so years of digging around old MVs, I have come across at least three other M43s with sirens and an M152 as well. There is one close by and next time I see it, will check the tag on the siren unit. Again, the bumper/unit number may give a clue as to where and...

    M170 Driver and Passenger Seats/Frames

    Yo Folks; Somewhere in a jeep forum, there was mention of Jeepster seats and internals that could be used in the M170. You would think the CJ6 seats should be useable/modifiable as these two vehicles were on the same frames. But I have not a whole lot of CJ6s laying around either. I had an...

    M43 is home

    Yo Toddbe; WOW! You have indeed found a great unit to start with. All those interior goodies are very difficult to find, including the heater apparatus.

    M43 is home

    Yo Toddbe! GRRRREAT FIND! All the interior goodies and the steps and a few litters as well. I did not see the small red light near the rear ceiling though. Does it have the gas fired patient compartment heater too? I have two of these critters. I like them as they leak less in the rain, heh...

    Aftermarket Carb Question

    Yo Rayneman; Great looking first MV! I am "green" with envy. I have 2 M43s with all original carbs,etc. Get the carb manual and a modern rebuild kit. You will be amazed at the enhanced performance. In my opinion, for the dinking around trying to change over to a civvie carb/manifold, time/money...

    Pics and stories from Iola

    Iola MV show A good show again despite all the recent changes in the big collections previously brought in. Losing Kevin Kronlund this winter was a terrible loss to positive direction in the hobby. I miss Chet Krause's jeep collection too. Sigh, times change and people come and go, but these...
