Thanks for the nice comments. As for the markings, I'm not really trying to represent any particular branch, just trying to add something to dress it up a bit. It seems that info on these things is somewhat limited.
Looks a little more presentable. Now I need to go find a parade to be in.
Any of you guys have pictures of the front bumper/ rear bumperette markings. Not trying for historical accuracy, just need an idea of what might go there.
Also, a big thanks to Bob H. for the parts, now I can start on the...
Let's start with this.
Shoot me a price for the following:
Spotlight
Everything in the back except the heater and lefthand seat/backrest.
Battery holddown assy.
Got the BFG's on today, rides better, tracks better, looks better. About ready to start prepping for paint. Kind of needs a new hood but haven't found one yet. Bob, you ready to start parting out one of yours? :roll:
The wheels are replacements, currently have 16's on them, just the one mismatched rim. I tried Google, Ebay and other sources for a matching rim but no luck so far.
Getting new tires for the M886 and just noticed one mismatched wheel. I need an Accuride 31972 16x7K. I think it's a Ford wheel, not sure what's original for a '77 M886 but these will be close enough. Oh yeah, I'll be putting on some BF Goodrich KO T/A 265/75 16's, hope they work o.k.
Thanks
'77 M886, Not sure what all is involved in keeping my wiper links connected so I don't know if there are simple retainer/clips or other parts needed. The links are good, just all the connector stuff is completely disintegrated. Got sources?
Thanks
Can you guys tell from the picture what color my M886 is? I've seen other pix of 886's with this color and would like to repaint it the same color. I got some 34079 but it's not the same, too dark.
Thanks
Bob H, I would be interested in the rear compartment stuff if you decide to sell. I would also like the taillights and backup lights. The grille would be nice too if it's good. There is other stuff I probably need as well, I just haven't realized it's missing yet.
Thanks
Thanks for help.
The rims have been changed to 16", want to put Michelins on, know what size would be good?
The back is pretty much gutted, has a bench seat on the left with original heater.
Engine starts easy but leaks oil from somewhere, will be going to a mechanic to see where. Will do a...
Need some paint info/color codes.
Pretty sure the inside of the cab is Seafoam green, ambulance box is white.
What to use for the engine compartment?
Engine block?
Exterior?
I'm sure I'll have more questions later.
Thanks
