Back in December 2024 I started checking for missing stuff and/or pieces that should be replaced. For example the windshield inner frames were unable to be restored due to corrosion (see post from Jan 27th, 2024). I checked with VPW and Midwest mainly because they have a metal shop. I left this pend...

Alrite Murf, this is a very complete answer. Thank you. :D So, both 214 and 245 have a 230 cui displacement (3,775 cm3). And I am not converting to 12v. This tells me they are interchangeable. I have read today in the g503 forum about both engines: They take the same overhaul parts.You will have to ...

Is correct as EDM43 is telling. Actually if you place the rotor in the position #1 you'll hear a click.

This. It is a mess you need to clean afterwards but guarantee it works.

we used the vacuum pump side of the fuel pump to ventilate the distributor. That’s a very good idea. Neither do I know how the aerator would’ve behaved. …if you have 2 coming from the distributor, the inlet venturi is open faced toward the air cleaner (so air pressure is pushed into the line) and t...

Hi everyone. There are a lot of topics open to catch up in the year I have been off. I am glad the forum is alive. Now that work is being resumed I also have "situations"....., it's normal. :) In this topic, our friend T. Highway described the basic differences between the T-214 (used in t...

Hats off to that work. The carb looks neat.

Here in Europe this family owned shop helped me: Axholme Signs Military Vehicle Stencils
The site asks for the unit id and hood # you want to apply at the time of purchasing.

Hello all. Back after long time. After leaving the shop In June last year, I put everything on hiatus for the summer to save some money and maybe trying to give it a fresh start in October. And because the new guys were fully busy with other customers, this also helped my idea. I will recall in this...

My shoes are now designated working in the garage shoes :lol: These things always give anecdotes to tell future generations, like when I spent an entire morning grinding the hood to check for possible IDs till the point of making a literal mess of the room with all the palette color green can provi...

Congrats on the acquisition, now the fun begins! :D (I'm being a bit ironic too) ....is nearly rust free except the square tube If you're talking about the tool box on the bed don't stress out, usually is a mess after decades. Mine was destroyed, and after rebuild I've put special attention with the...

Hi everyone. It is been long. Well, the thing is that 2024 is kicking hard in my economy, and had to put the M37 on complete hiatus in February. This, of course, started raising issues with the shop because they wanted to move forward and had no money to drop. Nada. So I pay the last bill (....after...

BugsandJeeps, if happen to reach out to VPW about the retainer I would like to know what they tell you at the time of shipping.

Doing our best. Hope to sit behind the steering soon!

Glad all this hard work is giving results, Rob. Note that before acquiring my tailgate (the truck lost its original who knows when...) the ones I was offered had the lower corners above the hinge rusted. I don't know why but the frames on the sides were rusted too (I've seen tailgates having a thick...
