OK as promised, Engine is in, drive train installed, all electrics completed.
Still to do ,Install air cleaner.
Waiting for fording valve(I broke mine the other day) then I will hook up all vacuum lines.
I'm going to delete the emissions canister and hoses.
At this point I cant see it working after 47 yrs.
It was a long day but worth it!

Well we got the whole vehicle back together today by noon.
Then tried to start it and nothing!
Charged both battery's through out the day , both holding 12 volts .
Start following my power and trying to find my missing connection(8hrs latter and a call to Fill Bonica) found out as soon as you put a load on circuit batterys go to 8 volts!
So now the truck is all torn apart again , scratched up, grease and dirty smudges .
Im off to the battery store on Thursday to try again!

2 new battery's today and all is well! entire vehicle is together!
still waiting on fording valve to arrive.
I have decided to remove the antique emission system. I will show in pics what you need to do to prevent "air lock"
as soon as the part comes in we will attempt to start!
If all goes well we should be rolling down the road by SATURDAY!!!!

It looks like you actually have a M825 TOW Missile Jeep. The gas can holder on the drivers front cowl and the spare tire holder on the passenger side door area are the big clues. Here is a link with some more info. https://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m825rr.php

Nice battle wagon you created, but how cool would you be if you had a M825 with TOW set up.... Just sayin.

Lindsay151, I am curious which inline fuel filter you added to your truck. I have an M151A2 and I also added an inline fuel filter. The set up works well to keep any dirt out of the stock fuel filter. However, your inline filter is bigger and I would like to upgrade mine. Please advise. Thank you!

I purchase them at any auto parts store! around 4.00 ea.
I change them frequently!

Do you, by chance, have the manufacturer and filter # so I could cross reference it?
