hmmwv body

[ohiohmmwv]

As I'm on a quest for a hmmwv to buy, I'm wondering if there's really any difference throughout the years in the actual bodies. I've done a lot of research but still don't know for sure. And on a big purchase I don't want to make a mistake not knowing. For example, if I bought a 1986 or a 1993 is anything really different? Will all the various tops and add on parts fit on any of them?

The are the same.

Cool. So no matter what I buy unless it's one of the heavily armored ones, I can create whatever version I'm looking for right? How about the civilian ones? Are they bolt for bolt the same underneith all the plastic interior?

I am not familiar with the civi ones.TedG on here has alot of hmmwv knowledge.

Hey Ohio, I can say that the 92 and 93 Civilian truck bodies are pretty much the same as the military versions. Beginning with the 94 model year, AM General began to produce Civilian hummers that diverged in many ways as the years went on, more and more from the military model. Under the plastic the the 92 and 93 hummer is pretty much a 12 volt version of the military M1097A1, with a list of odds and ends that you run into that are different. Glenn

All the same....H1's made on same assembly line....I have a 98 wagon as well

 

[ohiohmmwv]

so you could potentially make a hmmwv out of a civilian one with out too much trouble?

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

Yes, I have done it, but it just depends...hmmwv's are much simpler....hummers have lots more electrical.

The civy hummers don't have the B pillar beam going thru the body, so I'd look for a military body, and the later humvee turbo body's dog house cover is different, and cutout is larger.
Non turbo bodies are easier to find.
