    MEP-16 Starter and associated parts installation

    Bumping this up. I have a starter, slave port, and a starter button. Any help on mounting starter would help. Looks like it will require almost a complete disassembly of the gen. to fit up in there.:shock:

    M762 Data Plate (Photo)

    Oh and the 762 is a flatbed trailer. Some had things mounted on them like mine has a lighttower on it. :-P

    M762 Data Plate (Photo)

    The frames of the 416 & 762 are the same. I think the 762 is rated for 3/4 ton partially due to the lack of extra weight of the body panels bring which can increase load capacity.2cents

    Camo pattern layout

    When doing the camo on my duece and trailers we painted a base forrest green then chalked the out lines for the pattern and painted over the chalk. Just don't dig the chalk into the base paint and you will never see it in the end. The m101a2 i use for shows had crisp lines from the factory...

    LTR450K's 64 M416 Trailer

    You are missing the two safety chains. Looks like the diamond plate inside is reinforcement for the mount on the front of teh trailer that was definitely not original. I bet it was a rack for a lift jack. Since the bottom sidewalls are not rotted i bet the bed itself will be in good shape. Nice...

    Before/After M37/M101A1

    Gun Jeep Seat

    The first jeep in this thread looks like it has a duece cab cover on it. They fastened the normal bows straight up with duece cab reinforcement bows and the canvas appears to be one piece without added side curtains. [thumbzup]

    Gun Jeep Seat

    The seat in the first pic looks like a swivel office chair. It looks like one with foam padding.
