I figured I'd actually post a photo that I promised a month ago. Lets see if this works...

I have not taken the radiator to anyone at this point, but its apparent I should do so. Thanks everyone for the replies! Just hope my new manufacture thermostat is good to go as well, I've heard the difference in height causes them to not come in contact enough with the coolant and therefore...

New to wrenching on cars, let alone ones that are 60+ years old. Had my 53 M38A1 for about three weeks now, and took it out for an easy 15 mile round trip the other day. It was the longest it had gone in awhile, apparently, as about the time I was pulling down my road I started smelling...

So I joined the forum awhile back and just now have a military vehicle of my own. Its my first, as well as my first jeep. I will post pictures tomorrow, but I have to say how much fun I'm having with this little thing. It appears to be originally a USMC jeep, and has all data plates to...

That's a good looking security forces blazer up there! Was the steering wheel gouged in about 50 places by a pocketknife? That's how you can tell it was sf without the decals. Was once posted in a early 2000s lssv that had that done to it....I wanted to cry.

Saw a few at camp bullis Texas, saw several in ballad and bagram I'm pretty sure.

Gonna follow this thread some- I'm in Lexington and just may need to repeat some of these repairs on a CUCV soon.

Looks good! Makes me nostalgic.

Spring under the thingamajig on the lower left. Took me awhile, even had to "enhance" the image (zoomed in).

I think I remember this truck on Craigslist in Ohio somewhere....it disappeared awhile back. Maybe this is why! Congrats. I too would ditch the hmmwv tires and go more original or at the least more conventional.

So it's a MATV minus one third the weight and size? Or something like that. In 2011 I had barely been introduced to the MATV when I started seeing upgrades making them more the size of mraps. I figured the mobility gained from sacrificed armor had been given up and they were adding more armor...

Thank you, everyone for the reception and the offers. I've got to say, this is a very friendly community and I hope to take you guys up on checking out your rides. Scar59, it's interesting you should mention Taylorsville lake. I was there just yesterday with my brother on an unsuccessful...

I think this is the place to introduce oneself; so here goes! Found this forum a few weeks ago and don't yet own any military vehicles. I'm interested in either a CUCV or a M38 style jeep, but am leaning towards the jeep (simpler, more unique and easier to store!). I served in the USAF for a...

Air Force does the two digit year, And a letter followed by other numbers I never paid much attention to. i can't make hide nor tail of the other branch's registration numbers.
