Yep. Vann got in the driver's seat saying "It's been 40 years since I drove one, don't know if I even remember how to start it..." Took him 25 seconds to remember and have it running. Would have had more wheel time for you gents if ya hadn't broke it! :-P I did figure out why it kept...

Ask away, that's why the site is here! I learned a lot from this site, and made some good friends, while I was rebuilding my V100. Cheers

This one is much clearer. Cheers

Like Louie said, it is where the slave receptacle goes, for providing external power for jump starts, etc. The little slot next to it is where the master electrical power switch should be. Attached pictures should give a good idea of what should be there. Just FYI, the engine will begin to...

I sent you a PM with some info and some links (since we cannot post links to active auctions on the site). Cheers

The manual for the V100, TM 9-2320-245-24, is often available on Ebay and other places on the net; useful but not particularly good compared to other military manuals. There is also a -24P parts manual that is quite useful. The engine is an M75, which is just a militarized 361 Chrysler...

I drove the V in the rain coming back from the Burnet airshow a few weeks ago, wasn't a lot of fun! Someone asked about how the windshield wipers worked, I demonstrated by wiping my finger across my goggles! Cheers

I imagine that since yours is set up to be operated 'buttoned up", all that glass would make a big difference. I drive mine around the farm in the "driver low" position sometimes for fun, don't want to try it in traffic! Stock V visibility is better than you would think from looking at it...

Good news on the tires/wheels. [thumbzup] I see only one battery, converted to 12v? They put a LOT of glass on that vehicle! Please keep us updated on how you fix it up for service. Cheers

I can't see what else they would use the wheels on, maybe they just wanted the tires? Perhaps you could go back and explain how hard it is to get the proper wheels, and offer them a set of tires in exchange for the ones they have. When we refer to the takeoff tires, most have lots of tread...

Gerald is a great guy, you'll like him! The 14.00x20 (14.00R20) tires should be easy to get, and for an agency cheap or free. Hooks in Texarkana almost always has some lots up, and a bunch more in reserve that you can access. I bet there are some on MCLB Albany or one of the other Georgia...

Actually the V100 wont take the regular wheels due to backspacing/clearance issues. It would save us V guys a lot of wheel heartache if they would! Yours looks like it has deuce (2.5 ton truck) wheels mounted dish-out. Original V100 wheels are rarer then hens teeth! Give WGTactical a holler...
