    Navy m1009 ?

    Was trying to de a little research on navy k5 blazers. Recall something in the back my head about them being slightly different, but i can't find anything to substiate that thought. Did the navy have different k5s than army/ marine m1009 ? I know paint is different, anything else ?

    Simple axle swap question ?

    I have been looking at a lot of threads talking about axle swap and also reading threads where its done. Its ether shorten axle, or move leaf spring hanger out.

    combat rims

    Love the look and ease of changing the tire on theses guys (espec since no one will touch the spring rim). I got a full set of 5 and had them blasted, there in good condition. The kicker though is that their ring studs need to be replaced. I checked Midwest and vintage, the cheapest i could find...

    M37 vs b1

    Been looking into getting an m37. I have come across a few, but i was wondering, m37 vs b1. I know b1 came latter and engine/tranny are different.

    Mutt fuel sending unit work ?

    Will the mutt fuel sending unit work with an m38a1 ? Need to replace mine and the one that came out looked exactly like the m151 one. From what iv'e read its 50/50 from what people say. Anyone know better ? Mutts a lot cheaper to get, that why im considering it.

    m38a1 oil pump

    Pulled my oil pump to check it out. Everything passes with flying colors, except two areas. In the manual it says you should be able to put end cover on w/o gasket and the pump will not turn. Well mine does. But if i push in the top rod it touches then. The second area is the top outer gear is...

    Been on this forums for a little while reading and talking to members as much as i could. I finally bought my own m38a1. Always been in love with them, father had one (modified heavily of course). Found this one by chance. Its a 1964 USMC, pretty much everything is there and in relative working...
