Need to replace at 4 tires on my M43 ambulance. Stock size is a 900 X 16...would really like to go to 1000 X 16 or a larger diameter tire that will fit the M43 without any change to the current stock suspension.
Thanks in advance.

I posted a reply today on your original post where you stated you were looking for a vacuum equalizer plug for the lid.
I had the same problem and spent a lot of time finding a suitable stainless drain plug and tank breather.

This engine was bought for the head and connecting rods only. Everything else that came with this engine (From a 1947 Dodge Truck) is dismantled and boxed.

I actually found an original mint condition tank lid seal. Scooped it up as a spare. I have not tested the current seal for leakage as yet. Need to sanitize then fill with water,
The seal was a pricey $70.00 but I wanted the OE replacement.
Thank you for your reply, I have two daughters living in Tucson and one daughter living in Goodyear, Az. Love the state and hope it does not go the way of some other unmentioned states...like Calimexizuela.
Thank you both for your reply. I thought about jacking up the frame, but felt I should ask first. I am not as spry as I once was and try to eliminate unwanted extra labor with no results.
Again, Thank you both.
I want to inspecty the lower end of the engine without removing it. I un-connected the oil pan and removed the flywheel cover but cannot remove the oil pan from under the vehicle. It seems I must lift the engine as in removal of the engine to clear the oil pan from under the engine.

I have the 750 x 16's on the jeep. At first there seemed to be no problem, but after driving around a bit (flexing the suspension) I found that the tires do rub the edges of the tire tread when reaching the maximum turning point on left or right turns. They appear to not rub in normal small...
Largest tire size that can be used on a M37, M43 with stock suspension? I have heard that a 1100 X 16 can be used without vehicle suspension modification.
Can anyone tell me who has used larger tires on their M37 and M43.
Many thanks for any reply.
I have 700 X 16 on a 1943 GPW. No problems rubbing. The 750 X 16 is 1/2 inch taller...so I do not know if they will clear. Strangely enough I have a friend who wants me to try a 750 X 16 new Military tread NDT tire on my jeep to see if they will work. I will be doing this in about ten days from...
I could not find any warning labels and only one data plate for this trailer. So I had a label maker make these up for me.
I copied the exact dimensions of the original warning labels and printing position of the words as well as the colors and here is what I got.
