    Trailer plug

    If the pattern on your jeep is four little blade like contacts that protrude out at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 8 o'clock & 10 o'clock then you have a WWII connector which also carried over into the odd CJ2A. You should not have this style plug in aN m38 but with years of being in civy hands it could...

    Why convert 24V to 12V

    I have an M38 (not A1) that is missing the 24 volt stuff too. How hard would it be convert to 12 volts?

    A few years ago I purchased a CD with TMS for the M38, M38A1, & M151 but the paper pages werr very poorly scanned and very hard or impossible to make out details in pictures. Has anyone here ever run across the set of TMs in paper or in a good quality scanned disc? I currently do not have a...

    Turn Signals

    You can also use the same generic military arm (switch) that is used on the M35 series truck. It looks like it should be there is you fabricate your wire harness from black wire and use the correct wrapping tape or similar. A place to check out is Vintage Wiring of Maine. This may not be the...

    Looking to join the Deuce crowd

    Just a small point to add; Carol Smith at Gulfway is "The Man" so to speak. She is very familiar with the M35 series trucks and a joy to work with. From start to finish it takes about a week if you can scan and e-mail the paperwork as this speeds things up quite a bit but it is pretty painless...

    wheel bearing socket for M101A2 trailer

    Can anyone tell what size the nut is for the wheel bearing used on the M101A2 axle with the 8-bolt hubs that use OEM Chevy wheels? Or possibly the part number is they use a particular brand like OTC? I do have the TM but it does not describe wrench size. Thanks, jimm1009

    6.2 valve cover issues

    Has anyone found a good quality RUBBER valve cover gasket for the 6.2 engines that holds up well? I know that the engine when new did not have gaskets and that Felpro offers a cork gasket but those only last a year or two and then break down and leak. I have used the cork by itself and with...

    Air stop light switch

    I checked with Saturn on Friday of this week and they are in stock. I'll add the link in a minute or two. NOTE: This is the kit and not just the switch. jimm1009 He beat me to it. See below in next reply. It is a good deal but the shipping is UPS only so it is not fast getting to you.
