The Kaiserwillys.com website has a service diagram of the parts. https://www.kaiserwillys.com/diagram/m38a1-diagrams/brake-diagrams-willys-m38a1/emergency-brake-exploded-view-52-71-m38a1/emergency-brake-m38a1 Not quite what you are looking for, but better than nothing.

I looked at the Jeep yesterday and it is real clean. Not a speck of rust anywhere.I Nice seats, tires, runs and drives well. Straight body. MV mechanic said it does need a new wiring harness, though. Also, the usual nitpick stuff...shifter boots and detail stuff like a new steering wheel. I'll...

I will soon be looking at an Army painted M38A1. The paint job looks good in photos, but who knows what it will be like in person...or if there is any body work, or more likely, holes filled that would require paint. Deep in my heart, I would like to have it painted Air Force blue (25045)...my...

Federal Military Parts sells one... https://www.federalmilitaryparts.com/collections/electrical/license-plate-mount-bracket They also offer a backup light setup.

Traditional...It's a military truck. Making it look like an H1 is either: 1. Tacky...looks like someone with a $10,000 surplus rig is trying to fool others he's driving a $50-100,000 H1. 2. Just plane wrong, it would be like me painting my Mercedes in camo.is However, I'm not a fan of the Euro...

I don't think it's a huge problem, but this topic reminded me of something I read in a MVPA magazine awhile back...a group of MV owners were in a convoy to a large meet. The police dept of St. Louis asked them not to go into town to avoid upsetting the locals, so the group stayed on the...

Doesn't someone make a keyed switch that looks just like (and I believe replaces) the standard large ignition switch? That would keep a stock appearance.

I'm looking for a runner. I was the guy who got last year's bill rolling via our senator, Mike Padden. I testified in front of the committee. Yes, it was aimed at HMMWVs, Because it seemed easier. The plan was to add the to the list of vehicles eligible for collector plates...I'm other words...

Hi, John here in NE Washington. Since the State, for no apparent good reason, won't license a HMMWV here, I've lost a lot of my interest in acquiring a MV. However, a nice M38A1 might be a good substitute. Please let me know if you know of an available one in the PNW. I'm looking for a stock...

Of you're thinking about better deliveability and more power, I've stumbled across two classified ads for M38A1s re-engined with Buick V-6s...The same engine offered as an option in pre-AMC CJ-5s. Just put of curiosity I looked online and couldn't find any correct 4s for sale.

McSpeed.. Thanks for the report. Looks like you had fun. I'll show it to my wife, it might help her get excited about getting an HMMVW. She goes camping with a girlfriend has a teardrop (she sleeps in our Excursion), at a great Army Corps of Engineers campground just north of here. BTW...great dog.

As a former (west) Texan, driving with a .50 cal seems pretty normal! Out there, you'd likely be asked why you left the heavy firepower at home. Seriously, MV owners need to be a bit more public opinion savvy, no need to worry the populace or police. I have a friend , a MV, collector, who...

That's good to hear. From my recent experiences, I'm not optimistic. Even proposing the simple adding of HMMWVs to the list of historic vehicles doesn't interest them. The bureaucracy does not seem interested in any sort of comorimise. When I asked an assistant to the director of the DOL what...

By coincidence, today I had to go to a Washington state independent licensing office to renew tabs for a car and truck. Just for fun I asked them about HMMWV licenses and specifically mentioned the points brought up in the first post. They WOULD NOT tell me what the code 6500 means...When I...

I live in Washington and have been told repeatedly at independent licensing offices and telephone calls with the county and State Department of Licensing...that HMMWVS are not road legal in the state. What gives?

There is a M38A1 near me, it might...or might not...be worth a look. So I have a couple of questions... -It's been retrofitted with a Buick V-6. Is that easily undone? Are stock 4s available? -The seller says it's a '64 (I understand that's late in the production run but the Marines bought some...

Allow me to ask a related question... Are the various paint scheme done to an established patter (like Air Force camo schemes for different aircraft types) or are they done freestyle? I've looked at a couple of HMMWV books, and they don't show the pattern, a glaring omission of there is a set...

So if I get the correct paint my wife won't know I bought one?

I'd like to see more of stuff like "touch a truck". In the U.K., there are a lot of similar fundraisers for medical causes, (hospices, ambulance services, research) a popular one is to "sell" rides in people's collector cars. We who are fortunate enough to have a "toy" car, forget that a lot of...

In my state they'd probably arrest you for child abuse putting kids in a no door vehicle! 😁 Seriously, that's cool. When I was a kid a neighbor would take me out in his M38A1, and I thought that was the best thing ever.
