Hi everyone again,
Like I mentioned earlier this is my first CUCV, mine is a '77 with 15'k miles and is in impeccable condition. It was gutted and used to move furniture so the original military paperwork says if it actually is from this particular truck.

Anyway what are a few of the common electrical problems, issues & parts I should have on hand.

I only drove it 30 + miles home so far and I find it very comfortable and quite the pleasure to drive, oh yeah a lot of thumbs up!

Thanks again Guys

Clear in line fuel filter before the fuel pump, carry a spare one.
as well as spare;
Ignition module,
fuses
headlight switch
ballast resister ( Although I never had one go bad on these trucks)

95% of electrical problems are ground related.

Repack your front wheel bearings they most likely still have 35+ yr old grease in them and left front is the worst for shelling. You can get the above parts just about any auto parts store I got the module at Car quest a couple weeks ago, in stock. Gas filter is generic. Also think about your hoses and flushing the cooling system and belts.
