I have a generator and rectifier that I pulled off of my old M38a1. I'm not sure but I believe it was putting out 12-14 V. The jeep had been converted over. If you wanted to replace that alt.

 

[tigger]

I still have all the old crap i took off of it, i want it 12v!

Well a nother cold day put a crimp on my painting. but i got a lot done. none of my help showed up. The windshild frame is worse than i thought. so i hit it with the wire wheel and painted it. will take it back off after the rally and do a better job with it. im just running out of time. Have to get back to work tomarow. Still have to redo the seats and spray the inside of the tub with bed coating. and bolt the roll bar down. and change some tires. Pvt bones was trying to help but he was dead tired. Pvt Bones will be comming to the rally. The jeep will not be compleatly done for the rally but its comming. the things that count work . Engine, brakes, lights all work! so when you see it just under stand it is a work in progress!
