Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If I find out the MB#, I'll let you know...Harold,sorry but sellers statement of all original eguipment is wrong.The engine compartment pic alone shows many mods.such as wrong voltage regulator,starter solenoid never used on WW2 jeeps and, yuck, plastic coated wires.The cylinder head on the engine is postwar,the WW2 heads do not have the raised ribs between the bolt holes.The wheel rims are not the 2 piece combat rims in any of your pics.The seller did get the engine name right ,Willys called it the Go-Devil L134.The dipstick handle on the engine is very early war variant,by 43 the cap was a twist on style with tabs for a handle,would be interested to know the MB engine # on the boss behind the oil filter.But just the same looks like a good restoration candidate.I would say between 2000 to 2500.
Already been there. Which is why I asked about the MB number. It seemed short.Go over to www.g503.com they can help you out with all sorts of info on it.
THAT... Would be awesome. As others have mentioned, it is not original so it would not be a shame to cut up.My son wants something he can modify to electric.
I forwarded that to my son.THAT... Would be awesome. As others have mentioned, it is not original so it would not be a shame to cut up.
I have done 6 conversions myself, (2 Rangers, 1 Miata, 1 1936 Chevy, 1 VW, and 1 Minivan) if you have any questions. Here is a video of one of the conversions.

Easily. That ranger was built to be maintenance free to replace a gas vehicle that drove 16 miles per day doing landscape maintenance for Santa Monica they had no need for more than 35 miles. Using flooded batteries over AGM's gave 50 mile range. The Mazda Miata had a 100 mile range with Lithium batteries.I forwarded that to my son.
Just need to hear back from the current owner...
35 mile range? Hopefully, there's some way to make it go further.

Yes, lost of info. Short on filtering out what is useful and what is just idle chatter....
Still negotiating with the owner. My son wants something he can modify to electric. I told him "Fine, but you need to add speakers so it sounds real."
Flame on!
