    M1009 Blazer side window with sliding glass

    Any auto glass shop should be able to install the door glass and the tail gate glass. If it's an independent company (i.e. not safelite or PPG etc) they should be willing to sell you the glass less install for the DYI guys. The local Glass Doctor here in Cleveland will also sell used auto...

    glow plug in 3 cylnder Detroit Diesel

    I was going to say isn't that a spark plug to kind of help in cold weather. It doesn't heat the cylinder like the chevy CUCV/HMMWV glow plugs do, but helps to fire or burn the fuel so that the motor heats up faster and runs on it's own. Or at least that is how it was explained to me many moons...

    M880 Picture Thread

    Not to bust anyones buble here, but looking at the kit picture and the wrigth up on how to do the conversion I couldn't help but notice that the kit is set up for 5 lug axle and not an 8 lug axle like the M880 is. In my research there does not seem to be an 8 lug kit out there. This could pose...

    Winterize WC63

    You could make a field modification cover. Just because you don't have a picture of it doesn't mean some GI in the winter of 1944 didn't do it. If your looking for picture effidence I would look at all wwii dodges in winter settings and see if you can see any type of cover on the grill. Even...

    Is there a syncronized tranny available?

    It would have to be one out of a M37B1 and even then you need to double clutch... :) You'de have to convert to a modern transmission which would mean some fabricating to make it work. I don't have a model number for you though sorry.

    "Bulletproof" Seat Cover for M1028

    If you are going to go with a custom job look at getting them made out of the mil spec vinyl that is used for cargo covers, or the nylon that is used for seats like on HMMWVs. That woudl also be tough! But I would think canvas would breath a bit better and wouldn't be as cold in the winter (if...
