Yes you would need all 6. Feltz tire has good deals on 395s but they are out of Texas and will need to be shipped.

Well then... Welcome to the Outfit!
Post up some pictures of your ride and get the rest of us excited to see what you've got. There are lots of places to post. HMMWV's, 5-Tons, Deuces, Generators, Trailers... Figure out what category you fit in and show off your stuff!
There is a pretty good group of folks out there in Cali - so jump on in - the water is fine

Hi gslader,
Welcome to the Outfit! From all the way across the country here in North Carolina - an official welcome. It looks like you are ready to roll. Guessing maybe you drove it home? Seems like I remember your post about driving 500 miles to get it there...
Maybe you want to create your own thread that puts a stake in the ground showing where you started. Then as you work along on repairing things, snap a few pictures and post them up for everybody to see. Be sure to download your free copies of the TM's (Technical Manuals) so you have easy access to the diagnostic flow charts in them.
Again, welcome to the group!

Thanks @Another Ahab. Plan for now is to use it as work truck on a ranch that we have and also up in the mountains. Longer-term I’m not sure. An expedition vehicle has always been in the back of my mind but its not something for us in the near term.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m planning on starting a thread that shares my learnings, mistakes and adventures - the community here has been amazing and I want to make sure I’m contributing to that. I did a short walk around video of it that I need to post as well. I’m traveling for the next few weeks so won’t have much of an update for a while but I’ll definitely post up the walk around and share the journey as it goes!

I’ve got the truck up in Truckee right now and may bring it down to Sac for vin verification so I’d be right in your backyard! What is Plymouth? I’m not familiar with it.

No Fuss/ No Muss
It can't get much easier than that.
Sure wish that my DMV made House Calls.

Um.... WOW! I bought a historic plated M936A2 and went to the DMV. That was a mistake. What a shitshow. Then the CHP office told me they would NOT inspect it unless I had a letter from the DMV stating they would give it historic plates. "It's like a "humvee"" he said. Now I'm in limbo. Better to be in limbo with valid plates (be they Michigan they are valid!) than to be red flagged. Still......
Think I'll inquire to some friendly officers in my area....... This is good to know thanks!

There is a meetup out in Barstow April 7th - 11th. A group of guys who host it come up from Irvine and other areas down there. You could probably convey up with them. Here is the link.
