When I bought one of the Selfridge trucks last year, Joe let me check it out before I left the lot. He had it running before I got there but it had low tires and I wanted to check the fluids and of course the brakes. He told me to come and get him when I was done and he would jump me again.

Lots of choices here: TP Tools & Equipment

There is also a fuel priming system that came on some of these trucks. I thought I saw a picture of it in the TM's but now I can't find it. A priming pump was mounted in the dash near the drivers door with lines to the intake manifold. A few pushes on the priming handle squirts raw gas into the...

Dumping the base for brick pavers

Haven't really tested it out other than receiving tv audio before it went digital. I put it together from a de-milled set and I know nothing about radios. But it was missing a tube and a wire I had to re-solder.

Z I think they used a product called battleship linoleum for the the rear. I saw a restored wc ambulance with it and it was spectacular. Look in Hemming's I think there was a add for it in there. Mine was original and falling apart. It's color was a light gray.

BillW had one on his truck. I'm sure he'll post some up.

Original, made in Toledo.

I have one of the coils with the separate resistor. I'll post a picture this afternoon when I get home.

Since the M43 shares most of its parts with the m37, the rear cross members are the same. So the hitches were added by others. And as stated above there is no wiring socket and it get in the way of the step.

If it's made in China it needs to stay in China

Z your making me think I'd better get back to work on mine

Z are you going to pull out the windshield frame? It will be pretty well rusted under the side mounting areas. No to create any more work for you, but a couple of bolts on each side and a few along the top and its out. It will make your cowl repair so much easier to get to.

Bill where's the cadmium plated bolts?:-)

Last summer when GL auctioned off about 8o trucks at Selfridge there were half again as many sitting there for export.

You might try this on your frame. I used it on the jeep and it was easy to put on, how well it will work is another matter.:smile: Internal Frame Coating w/Spray Nozzle
