    1953 Air Force M38A1

    Did you see the responsible agency plate says "US NAVY"?? I would first see it the serial number on the main data plate matches the Jeep, if it does you have a NAVY jeep that someone painted blue. Or a NAVY Jeep that happened to be blue for some reason. If the serial numbers don't match...

    Powering inverter off deuce

    A 1000 watt 24-120 volt inverter, when loaded with 1000 watts of 120 volt devices such as lights, fans etc will draw 40-50 amps of 24 volts DC. The truck's batteries can handle that for about 5 minutes, then the voltage will droop and you will have to start the truck to let the alternator...

    Any guesses on this wiring? M1123...also light issues.

    If it's ALL the lights, sounds like the auto-reset circuit breaker inside the 3 lever switch is either doing it's job due to a short somewhere, or it's on it's way to death.

    Parts for 1940 1 ½ ton LC 4X4 VF405 USA?

    Start with Vintage Power Wagons. There are no military salvage yards with that model anywhere in the world.

    Ground Mobility Vehicle 1.1

    How cool is that? Too bad they don’t still have the previous GMVs (HMMWV based) equipped with the same Rod Hall race suspension used in the Baja 1000.

    What kind of rims are these?

    The pre 1970’s military wheels were riveted not welded centers, could this be what you see?

    Wide load

    Your plan is very confusing. My plan would be to buy a decent drop deck trailer with 40’ deck, and then sell it afterwards if I had no use for it. You want to be as non-sketchy as possible with this since you have to permit the load etc.

    USAF Strata Blue

    I would go with locally available industrial or automotive paint. Find the FS number and have them mix a quart for evaluation.

    M4 High Speed Mess

    That is a Southeastern Equipment “Wood Tiger”. Nothing to start with. Call Red River Parts and Equipment, they have numerous unmolested M5A4 high speed tractors for sale.

    Ha I was right about fastener ingestion.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    Well time for surgery. If the block is busted then time to shop for a GEP longblock. If the short block is ok (unlikely) you could put GEP heads on it.

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    The GM 6.2 and 6.5,doesn’t have coolant in the intake manifold. Sounds like what happened is a fastener of some type fell into the intake port while he was running it open and got ingested and busted the head and piston.

    Price of a full frag 6 armor kit

    Not really sure why I would want to turn a nimble warrior into a clutzy heavy slug that can be defeated with a coke bottle some gas and a rag. But that’s just me.
