Although many were upgraded to electric wipers later on in their service lives, they weren't equipped that way from the factory. I have a copy of the USAF order form and they aren't on it. Of the 4 I've owned, bought directly from GL, none had the air wipers.
My VIN plate was disfigured and...
Yeah, you don't need to publish the entire thing if you don't want. The prefix is probably 1040, followed by 5 numbers?

The strange loop on the dash is the military's anti-theft system. A chain through it around the shifter. I can't remember if MD shifters are close enough to the dash for the padlock to go directly around the shifter.
Not bad.
Not sure if it's a USMC A1 but it does have the USMC rear lift rings and reinforced crossmember.
