P.S. You have too many jeeps. You need to give me one.

And when you give one to Maddawg I'll take one too...

If it was up to my wife, you could come haul all of them off, but times are changing, the other day, she actually told me where she had seen one for sale but then made it clear that I wasn't buying it. I've been training her for 36 years, and she still doesn't know the difference between a M38 and a CJ2A.

After some custom stretching, I was able to get the rear pulled down in position, still need to get another 1/2" or so out of the sides.

HI,

Do you know if there is a 718A1 specific manual? Something that talks about how the medics utilize it?

Missing a few straps and the rear cushion.

It is stripped a bit right now but I will get it back together in a couple weeks and post some pics.

Progress has been slow on the jeep, finally got the engine ready to go back in, thanks to a member I was able to find a rare piece I've been trying to find for years.

Don't leave us hanging Buddy! What was the piece?

The horseshoe litter mount, the one I had was homemade, though a good job, it was still not original, was able to pick up a few extra items, like another rare medic box, never give up on the hunt.

Please send closer up pictures of the liter mount. I am in need of one and fabrication may be the only way ... TY

You are 2 weeks too late, I had a homemade one that was well made, only mistake they made was welding in square 90's instead of radius 90's, I already had the radius 90's bent to repair it. Someone grabbed it up as soon as I found the original, you could get lucky and find one but it took me 10 years. I will get you some better pics this weekend.
