Well, not really the hood, but I guess it is about it too. Do all the different variants of the HMMWV use the same hood? Is the grill in the top of the hood the same dimension? I do know that there are different grills, like armored, but are the holes in the hood the same size?

I think these are air brakes. You might need a CDL to drive it, 26,001 LBS GVW. The bed is a bit up there, hefting tools in and out will get old, fast as well as climbing up and down.
As stated above, rubber is expensive for them. I don't have much experience with L/FMTV but on the older stuff...
I think since the decals are vinyl, no clear over them. I am afraid that the paint might eat the vinyl. I would then need to start over, don't wanna do that. We will just make a cover for the operators compartment so that the controls are covered and out of the sun.
Made a few more changes, but...
An update on the progress on the m62. Went back in today, it's been a hot minute took some time off for Thanksgiving. Spent two weeks out in the desert, it was glorious! The old mirrors were flippity floppity and you couldn't see anything out of them so a few weeks ago I dug some out of a pile...
Upper left corner. United Technologies Fuel Systems div tested them. If you took the injectors to Cummins in Henderson, they farmed them out to UT for testing.
#1, yes, they are VERY thirsty. The last working of the M62, last week, just un-spooling the front winch and re spooling it used almost 4 gallons. I un-spooled almost all of the cable and let the winch pull the truck to the chain.
#3, The Zenith performs MUCH better than the Holley, just the...
I do not think your local Cummins dealer/Distributor has the correct stuff to pop test the nozzles. I worked for them for 30 years, did fuel stuff. We did not use any pintle style nozzle that had the same type of line that the LDT/LDS uses. An ADS shop might though.
I believe the 7.00 20 were used on WWII trucks, smaller OD also. I think the wheel is too wide on the M35/M44 series trucks. If you aren't gonna be using it except for parades and such, just go with the NDCC. There are a bunch of surplus dealers that have the tires.
Unless someone before you converted it to hydraulic PTO, which would involve A-LOT of $, no. Yours is all mechanical. If the truck has been sitting, and not a bunch of freeplay in the clutch pedal, the disc could be stuck to the flywheel.
A while back, I had the clutch disc stuck to the...
You do know that just taking an injector apart and re assembling it doesn't constitute a "rebuild", correct? There are a mess of other items/checks that are done during a rebuild, lapping, pop off pressures, dribble tests, spray pattern check. Those cannot be done without an injector tester...
NDCC tires are readily available still, but there are other tires available in the commercial world that will do a good job and most likely work better on wet roads and mud/snow. 10.00 or 11.00 will work, however, the taller the tire, the more top speed you can get, but the taller tire makes...
I just scanned through the 5T and up and the Misc TM section an do not see them. @sandcobra164 , if you still have the TMs for this, message @Guyfang and he can add them to the site.
543 will not have a spot to mount tee spare on the crane. The hydraulic tank is where the tire went. M62 had the hydraulic tank mounted on the frame behind the cab. 543 uses a Garwood crane, 62 has an Austin Western.
