I think most 1955 Army M170's hood numbers began with 1A83_ _ Six letter/number total. Most I have researched had this series.Looks very close to what you uncovered. No idea on the bumperettes.

I completely restored one of these M170's. Now a show vehicle. I have another titled one complete that I have been collecting all the parts for. Has everything (I mean everything), all racks, seats, reel light, bars, spare rack, windshield, tailgate. Ready to restore. I tried to sell it for what...

I have tried to do that with someone a few years ago. I took a lot of pics of the medic bottom but it didn't work out. It's one of those deals where there are a lot of radius's and off sets that you really need a sample to form to. It could be done but it is hard to describe with a tape...

I have two M170's. I can tell you they are hard to find parts for. Seats, stretcher brackets, spare tire bracket and any ambulance gear is tough. Bows can be had from Ron Fitzgerald parts (G503.com). The recent M170 inquiries are all looking for seats. I have never heard of anyone making the...

Black is original frame This has been brought up several times on different sites. The gist is that the frame was built and painted black. Green was sprayed over the black by the factory when assembling the Jeep. Some theorized that the sub assemblies were made in the same area as civilian...

M38a1 Well after wilfreeman's better assessment may be it's not so hot.

M38a1 I look at it and say roughly 500.00 to sandblast and a paint job. Lots of mechanical work but it has most of the parts. Tubs come off easy. If they look decent they want 3-4000.00. Alot of the time it is just like this with a quicky paint job over bondo and running but rough. It is a...

Kit Ditto on PVT's post. There are a lot of the instructions in the download section and there are alot of other guy's who asked the same question and were guided; just do a search.

Dipstick I personally got a big kick out of this. I mean really this had to be a joke from the start. I think everyone is being jerked around here. Not only was the post hillarious but the testy followup "social media" thing just got me rolling. Dipstick LOL. To add: this guy has 278 posts...

I have them on my my rigs and I am absolutely confident of them. They use the same process as when they were made originally. The cores are all matched and they wear very well. I have taken vacation trips with them, aired down and wheeled very rough terrain have never had any problems. And no I...

I use these 31-10.50R15-GUARD-DOG-M-T - Retread Tires from TreadWright, Inc. and they have been fantastic. They last like iron take very little to balance and look great. At 89.00 each for an aggressive mud tire you can't beat them. I run them on everything I have (dodge diesel 4x4 & jeep...

Vintage military trucks Have you visited Vintagemilitarytrucks.com ? He is collecting information on M170's. A serial number data base with pictures of all the M170's out there. My other M170 is 12148 6/55. I haven't had time to send him an email to list that one.

Clam shell I will be real interested in what you come up with for the clam shell. I was planing on welding a tab on the horizontal rod and drilling a hole in it for the door opening rod. for the top of the door rod I was going to drill a hole in the rod and insert a spring pin then have a...

Passenger door area Looks great. I am wondering if the strap on the passenger side by the door area is strapped to the axe strap footman loop versus the more forward one for the top. They are side by side in the door sill area. It looks a little off.

Pics I didn't get them. Maybe you put .com vs .net? Another email that you can send to is my work Shawn.Reed@Rheem.com Thanks so much

Pic's Ya I have seen the ODcloth one. I use that as my template for rebuilding my M170. You can see my project on willysmjeeps.com look at photo gallery page 5 rdsar2k. Have to join the site to see. I just figured that the photo's in this link were compressed to send to the site. I was hoping...

Doors The drivers door is the same as an M38A1. If you go to G503.com Message Forums • View topic - F.S. M170 folding pass. door frame Dean Willams recently sold a folding passenger door and pic's are there. There were solid framed doors also that didn't fold.

Nice As an M170 owner I really really appreciate your photos. There are very few out there. Could you send me better resolution ones? rdsar2k@wildblue.net

Wrong side. Clean it up you might be suprised. It is suppose to mount on the back side of the motor support and route to the back motor mount hole. Yours looks to be on the wrong side of the motor support. large star lock washers are what clamps it down. The star cuts the paint to give good...
