Just know that it is heavy AF.

I don’t think you will have much luck pulling the tapered roller bearing off the shaft with it buried in the case. It’s an interference fit.

If you have plastic pistons and you overheat your brakes the pistons can stick.

If the tires are used you could have punctures.

I was also contemplating this. Two “hoop” bows at the b and c pillars, and a “bikini” top that is basically a square piece of vinyl attached to the windshield and attached to the two bows.

Sure. They are actually a better slow speed off road truck than a high speed highway hauler. Keep up with your preventative maintenance especially on the engine oil changes and transfer case oil.

Sorry, “parts trucks” sitting around rotting makes no sense to me. I manage a fleet of FMTVs for my fire department and our solution to high mortality, hard to find parts is to stock them on a nice dry organized shelf. Alternator, WTEC controller, keypad, fan solenoid, air brake inversion...

I can read the data plate photo, shows M61A2. The tank that was on it was the original military configuration. Probably an asphalt distributor. That's probably what is still in the tank. You have to heat it up for it to flow out. Well I suppose the tank was kinda useless for a hobby truck...

Dropping 5k on a parts truck that will have the same aged out parts as the truck you are running seems like a questionable idea.

Sure enough, the XX26-XXXXX series is a M61A2.

Very light demand for the "C" windshield. I would be tempted to buy a repro bare frame and swap over the hinges, wipers, hardware etc. Have your local glass shop install a single piece safety glass rather than fool with the ancient two piece glass rubber and twin glass panes.

Sweet Jeep! Random observations, you have a M38A1C recoilless rifle windshield on it, but no tailgate, so you do have a M38A1. Had radios as evidenced by the 4 square bolt pattern on the left rear quarter panel. Great wheels for boonie bashing. Good luck with it, doesn't look like it needs a...

You had them swap the tank for a deuce cargo bed?

Clearly that is not the same truck as in the first post. When you figure out what you are buying get back with us.

Evil Dr Porkchop has the grille: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-2-grille-guard.204278/ Better snatch it up before I do for my pickup clone build. The CUCV IIs all had steel rims, shouldn't be hard to find on a junkyard truck.

13.8 volts is what the voltage regulator is set for. When the voltage regulator fails, you get a boiling battery like you got.

You can do every performance trick in the book on a NA 6.5 and it will still be pitiful. If the 6.5 has the side mount turbocharger, that is what to build.

$7481 haha that is what Uncle paid for that truck back in '52. Looking good. Do you own the surplus store or is that where is was?
