I have seen the exhaust kits similar to your description nattieleather on ARMYJEEPPARTS.COM the picture shows square gaskets for the exhaust manifold. I did read a thread on G838 referring to the different torque specs between gasket and non gasket set ups. Another user did mention the doubling...

Almost forgot. This Mutt is showing her colors which I find unique as the original semi gloss OD is coming through then the MERDC, and finally what I believe is the 383 CARC green. I was kicking around a paint job however the history of service surfacing seems too awesome to cover. Thinking of...

Just an update emerging from the thaw. Bought two correct batteries by DEKKA made in PA. Battery floor looks rough and will need replaced in the future. Cleaned up what I have and painted it for now. Re working the batt brackets with need rubber. Replaced the batt terminal lugs, and picked up...

Nice! Appreciate the ideas for the radio. Not sure which route to go yet. Yes I believe 18' is the standard wire heigtht across the country however do to old standards, loose wire or leaning poles here in Ohio I hit some frequently haha. Double clutching seems to help third gear. I'm still going...

So it is easy enough to drill and tap an air vent on an aftermarket? Has anyone managed to for find rebuild parts for the originals?
