I hate troubleshooting electric issues .
It was almost a relief when I realized that my wiring is so old and scabbed together that I need to replace the whole thing with new.
I will use an eBay universal harness for about $100

think I forgot to tell you guys.
This was in an episode of doomsday preppers before I got it.
So the Shaggin Wagon is a movie star

I am participating in a living history WW2 display thing this saturday.
3 of us in uniform with the M43B1.
This'll be fun

Remember the camera Billy, we all like pictures.

Inspected the drums and they are fine.
Adjusted the brakes and they will lock em up.
I am going to replace the lines but no brake upgrades are needed.
The steering box needs a rebuild but i am gonna go with power steering maybe next week.

Itll go 50mph on any grade i found so far.
I think I have vapor lock
When its warm it dies at stoplights.
Starts right up again

For reference the power steering upgrade calls for a reversed saginaw box.
And the man at snake river told me there are two different input shaft diameters.
.802
And
.732
Also a helpful tip if the shaft fit is super tight .
Sand blast the splines and you will lose 1 or 2 thousandths.
I got the box
Pump
Hoses from rock auto
And the
U joint kit
Steeringbox bracket
Steering column bearing kit from
Snake River 4x4
Everything totaled
$470

The LARS 997 box has a input shaft diameter of. 732

Starting on the power steering upgrade tomorrow

Snake river 4x4 threw the instructions in with the parts i bought.
We will probably need them

I will keep you posted as to ease of installation etc.
I dont think $470 is way out of line.
Maybe I will try to sell the old box?
It needs a rebuild but it works
