I'am in process of doing a repower on a Goat with a 4.3 Vortec GM...V-6 want to see how this works out before I repower my own Goat. I was leaning towards a 6.2 HUMVEE engine as they are plentiful as are the parts.
My # 1 concern is proper cooling as I've heard from several...
I actually saved alot of the above mentioned parts from the SOCOM stuff ,including a nice big 24V compressor
and storage tank which I figured I would reuse ,that way I can have on board air for off-road adventures.
I am also wondering on the gas Pinz's were'nt the lockers etc. engaged...
I'm with you on your observations up to the point that you feel the running gear is 712. From what I observed at Aberdeen last year after crawling under as many 710/712's as I could, I observed(correct me if I'm wrong)that the input shaft from transmission to transfer case section comes...
Hate to bust your bubble but I work for the Co. that NAPCO Intnl. subcontracts to actually build the ANR -A-80 Module and I can tell you first hand(because I had a discussion with our engineer )who by the way designed the new AM-1780n and was on the design team at Cinn.elecronics for much of...
As I stated in earlier part of this post ,the 718 modified body was involved in a front end crash it was 6x6, they(uncle sugar) had fun with torches( I call it waisting tax payers dollars ,read demill everything) and I scrapped what was left of the body. It was CARC black, I realize now I...
The body pics are the body I will use to build-up a 4x4 version of the
SOCOM chassis as I have good papers with it. I will post more pics as I start the project
which will have to wait for better weather,am hoping to compile more data while I'm setting my shop up...
Responding to old posts seems to be my new hobby but I can't resist!
If anyone reading this needs any of the above mentioned WM-46/U cabling I have several good lengths in un-used condition.

My research so far suggests it started out asa diesel 718m? I think
Then as part of the mods SOCOM did or had done they deleted everythinp from the original axle boots on the Pinzbackbone and built a tubular sub-structure to swing tubular a-arms w/coilover suspesion,I think the cv-shaft are...
R e: M-116
Sure ya would't rather trade it to me for real good 116 chassis + boot rather than defacing crisp mil example :drool:

as/1729 the as/1729 was used in the vrc-12 series radios (RT-524/rt-246 etc) and what we found is the singars ants reflected a lot of...
Socom Pinz mods
The truck showed 7000 + miles on the after mkt speedo that looked to have been installed during SOCOM mods. Let me also add I work at Bluegrass Station in Ky where this truck ended its military career as scrap and no one around here seems to know any details (or they can't...
