All of the American 3-lever switches will interchange, The number on the switch should be : MS51113-1
( according to my research some are just numbered MS51113, why I don't know )
The best deal for a new one that I found was from OD Iron, I think it was $48. plus shipping.
Mine did the...
I am not sure of the actual number on this truck, The paint is pretty faded,
I would suggest going to a serwin-williams store and asking to see their FS595A color chart ( sometimes called a fan deck ) and then try looking at
# 34087 The colors will look a lot better and it will be easier...
I am not 100 % sure, But I think the color you are looking for is 34087 from the FS595A color chart.
( there is some questions of accuracy with some of the OD colors in some charts )
Also, ( FYI ) I have seen a picture on the web of a M886 that was painted in a OD color That was sitting...
RE: Re: RE: M885 - How do I tell if this is 24v or 12v truck
The ALT for the '79 Dodge van should be 12 volts.....
Are you trying to solve a specific electrical problem ? These trucks are noted for having electrical glitches....
remember, the voltage regulator on the firewall needs to be...
Here is a link to some pictures and a write up of the vehicle I was talking about :

I am not trying to discourage you from getting an MV but with the information you provided I just want to...
With this information, I don't see what you would gain by getting rid of the Excursion and going with a M880 , CUCV , or even a M715. I would think you would be better off doing a lift on the Excursion and modifying a step or grab handle on it. I would imagine you would still spend the...
Here is picture of another SS members truck, That can be found in the " Photo Gallery "

As Maddawg stated , It is a four color pattern that the U.S. used before going with...
According to all of my research, The M880s series trucks never came in a crew cab, or a short bed, or a manual tyranny.....
If this truck was in fact used in our military, Then what you have is a civilian truck that was bought by the military usually to fill an immediate / specific need without...

Is this a typo ? or can you really expect to get a fender shipped to your door for this price ?
I have not had or even heard of anybody having any trouble with restoring their truck with original military markings / numbers. Ohio law even makes a provision where a person can use up to a six digit number stenceled on the truck instead of displaying a historical plate.
If you run plates on...
The BO lights work, but we do not know if the the system will kick out if only running the BO lights...
we do know that when the lights go out you can hear and feel a click in the BO switch,
( in service drive ) and everything that is controled by the switch turns off : lights,flashers,turn...
Hi guys,
Well after pulling the whole dash and spending about 6 hrs tonight looking at wiring diagrams and testing things.... we have come to the conclusion that the problem lies on the Blackout light system, we can find nothing wrong on the civilian side of the truck. That being said we are a...
There is a 15 amp breaker that is wired into the fuse box between the turn and emergency flashers, I cant figure out what it is for because I can not find it on the civilian wiering diagram. it is however wired with civilian wires, not the black, number tagged wires that go to the rest of...
Hi guys,
I am having trouble with my lights cutting out on my M880, when they go out they ALL go out and then come back on their own ( usually about after 5- 20 seconds )
I can find no problems with the wiring and the civy headlight switch is new. it does not seem to be vibration...
That gun you are looking at will be fine for spraying an MV It is however an overkill..... That gun is designed for the pro - painter who does multiple projects a year. with the tips that it comes with, it is designed to be used for everything to primer to clear coat. However, you simply do...
