I took it to a show with my M35 a few years ago and the A2 actually received an award.

Interesting finds when I was restoring the A-2. Also my youngest daughter during the restoration 13 yrs ago ready to help. Fast forward today and she is sitting in the A2 for her senior pictures with me photo bombing her. Last picture is me during 2011 veterans day heading the the elementary...

Like I stated the A2 started me on the green disease journey and here is just a part of my motor pool with the A2 as it looks now.

Ok here's my 1978 M151-A2 which started my green disease journey.

Welcome from the Bitterroot Valley

I asked him WHY it got parked not WHEN. Lol

Don't see any hood markings and it appears to have green paint under the blue so it was probably a civil air patrol jeep that originally came from the Great Lakes Naval training center if he purchased it in Illinois. The hinged grill and 45 degree front fender seams would put it at 1952-1953. I...

This is my 89 USAF truck that I got from Fairchild AFB back in 2012. Benefit of being retired military is I just flashed my ID at the gate, drove to DRMO to get the truck and drove it out the main gate. Notice the vent is in the lower panel facing forward.

If you don't have the special timing light or adapter for the 24v system, you can still time your engine using the following method. Get a standard timing light and a normal sparkplug wire. Cut off the ends of the normal spark plug wire. Remove the waterproof wire at the #1 spark plug and...

They are called "Toothed Periphery Type Washers". Google the name and you will see what the gentlemen are referring to for washers. Kendelrio, you can either sandblast your hardware which will remove the rust and the plating or there's a two step process I used. I blasted them with a walnut...

I have a 68 Ford that was assigned to the USMC and may have been over there but I can't say definitely. I have a document that shows another 151 in country that was within a few numbers of mine but again that isn't enough proof for me. The PO bought it from DRMO back in the 70's. It is...

Did you mistype the year in your post? Kaiser didn't produce the M151A1 after 1964.

Not sure what your question is but I'll take a stab at it. If you are asking about the need to prime over the old sanded automotive paint prior to repainting, the answer is no. However, the primer will give you an even color tone to shoot over. So not priming can give you an uneven looking paint...

Yes you can shoot over epoxy primer. I sprayed my 151 in 2009 and it has not had any adhesion problems. My paint still looks good and the only wear is in the footwells on the driver side. I did not use any hardeners when I painted mine. My vehicle is garage kept so fading isn't an issue. I have...

I seen the picture in the manual under the travel adjustment but I couldn't find the height adjustment. So if I adjust the height of the pedal, it wont' mess with the travel? If the procedures are in the book I'll keep looking but my eyes were getting crossed searching for it yesterday. After...

Looking at TM9-2320-361-24-1 there is a procedure for adjusting the clutch linkage and measuring free travel of pedal. Can I use this to adjust the height of the clutch pedal? I've been looking for a way to lower the height because with my long legs I can't operate the clutch without opening the...

I know the feeling. I got both A-1s running and the restored one developed a leak in the radiator so I took it to the radiator shop and they quoted $845 to re-core it. I just fixed the coolant leaking from the exhaust manifold studs. So I was at a cross road of taking the radiator out of the...

I was referring to your firing order. I have two A-1s in which one had its engine rebuilt and the other did not. The rebuilt one had its distributor installed per the manual that has the firing order incorrectly illustrated. The other jeep is wired correctly per the manual change that corrected...

Tracer, I see your distributor is 180 like mine.

$1500 wouldn't cover travel costs from Montana if I was to drive my deuce that far. Too bad they wouldn't consider video submissions or live feeds the day of the event from MVPA members who live too far away to attend.
