Welcome! A backup camera is a nice thing to have. I wonder if you could use a EFI for a 302 / 5.0 engine. It would be the same size. You might need to create or find an adapter. I have always thought a carby with a dual primary and secondary could be tuned to have the primary leaner for...

He does have it bad. But then this is his own first military vehicle. My first was a basket case M38A1. I loved it into a restored Jeep in 5 years. Now that I know, I should have looked for a better one to fix up. Ahh..... first loves! Sigh.

That would really make a statement. Who knows you guys might make it into an upcoming Road Warror movie!

Rubber brake lines do go bad and it's not a bad idea to replace them. Just remember if you fine nice NOS lines they are just as old as these trucks. Find the place near you that builds hydraulic lines for equipment. They can build brake lined for you if you bring them a sample of each...

Search for Case Hy-Tran ULTRA

Case bought out IH so you might can find what Case calls it now. The zinc helps coat the parts inside the engine and protect them. You can even find newly produced antique car oil $$ that has zinc in it still. Right now diesel oil still has it.

I like to use Rotella diesel oil straight 30 weight in these old engines. It still has zinc in it and the straight weight means my oil pressure gauge does not drop to zero once the oil gets hot.

Any rubbing when you try to turn?

Don't change the fluids before you finish your detective work because you will compare the colors of the oils. To decide if it's from the engine or transmission. I am hoping that your truck just needs a rear crank oil seal. You can replace that by dropping the oil pan and following...

What if you collected the oil and compared it to what's in the engine vs what's in the transmission? I was thinking if smearing some on something white like a card or paper plate. Then do the same with samples from the engine dipstick and the transmission dipstick. It might give you a clue...

How much oil is leaking? Is it small or does it make a puddle? All these old trucks leak. Oil from that area could be from the rear engine seal or from the torus.

These trucks were not around in the US Army long enough to start receiving the Camo schemes that came in the early 1970's and then the 1980's. (Canada, Maybe - I just don't know.) But it's up to you for what you want. My current project is a Dodge M37 and those did not normally get Camo...

Up to you if you would start a new one but it would give you a clean start to asking questions. You will drive the truck like in the instructions. Choose F1 high range for on road and F1 low range for off road. Start out in gear 1 with the added shifter and shift up as you need to as you go...

Okay I dragged out the old kit I have. You can see from the photos that you remove the original side piece on the transmission and replace it with the Reb Shifter version. The kit comes with metal labels that you are supposed to place on the dashboard. After reading the instructions I don't...

Yes what Firefox is talking about is opening the little plug on the back of the airpack when the pressure is off and squirting some air tool lube oil in there to help keep the position moving. It looks like from that extra shifter arm someone added an aftermarket Rebshifter on that truck that...

I have found parts also at: Sam Winer Motors Akron Oh Surplus City Jeep Parts (sometimes) Sometimes you can find rare goodies at military flea markets. Or just ask and we might can help find something.

Really nice! I love how you have tied your business into the truck!

How about showing us pictures of your ride? It sounds like you have it set up for running the woods! Alan
