They are correct, those changes happened in 1954 but not on Jan 1. Data plate is 100% original Willys.

Do you have both 12 and 24 volts present at the power points at the PDP? Did this truck just develop this issue or did you get it this way from surplus?

Is there any evidence that the numbers in both plates were stamped by someone other than Willys Motors? If not you are good to go. The hinged grille and thumbscrew battery box changed in ‘54.

That tty was the mainstay of communications during the entire cold war period, like 1950s until the 1970s. In the US they were called TT-98. Every Ratt Rig (radio teletype) had two of them in a shelter on the back of 3/4, 5/4, or 2 1/2 ton trucks. Nice find!

I would start with overhauling the brake booster.

Suggest you bring the part to a heavy duty truck parts house, they should have one in stock.

The problem with that approach is that the new paints will be just that, new. No fading. The computer match will match the existing fading.

Bring a sample of each color you wish to match to Sherwin Williams and have them match it with the computer color match scanner. 1 quart of Superpaint in flat should get you going for both shades. Incredible Jeep you have there, like 20 years of markings showing through.

My battery box is wired up just like yours. The huge cables are 24 volt plus and minus, and the little 6 ga ? wire is 12 volt. You can omit connecting the slave receptacle if you don't have a use for it. Use the same stud top 31s you have now. The TM will tell you to use 4 ea 12 volt...

At 55 mph yes unfortunately. ECO hubs is the solution to this.

Lot of these auction HMMWVs have been sitting for many years. Ya might have to get a lil rough with the lever. As in mule kick it.

The transfer shift mechanism external to the transfer is about as simple as can be. If the pictured items are free to move, the problem is inside the transfer which is a bad thing. Time for more investigation.

We can help you. It is not clear to me from your narrative whether you are having transmission engagement or transfer case engagement issues. Can you elaborate? Two entirely different diagnostic paths.

I have the same compressor setup, 5 hp single phase capacitor start. All of a sudden mine wouldn’t start, just tripped the breaker. After replacing the motor come to find out the compressor wouldn’t turn. Compressor also used very infrequently. Took the compressor apart, nothing wrong with...

I use moly EP. Same stuff as for modern wheel bearings etc.

Sounds like you have done an exceptional job at isolating the problem to the Saginaw gear.

Your truck has a multfuel engine essentially the same as “deuce” trucks. The engine shut off system has probably dozens of threads on here as it causes issues.

Welcome and sorry about your loss. You have an immaculately restored example there, value $15 to 20k. Consider a collector car auction or Hemmings Motor News for marketing. Maybe Ebay.

There is just Weebee Webbing and Beachwood Canvas that make repro mil canvas other than New Life.

Dump trucks are always worth more assembled than in parts. Wow the picture you first posted sure did look good except for the ridiculous stenciling. They call that “lacquer overhaul” in the construction equipment biz.
