Lot of debate about paint causes the "what the he!!" remark.
At the risk of kicking the can over again, the Marines painted war gear like jeeps with flat lusterless 34052, not semi-gloss 24052.

Wheels are definitely not M151.
Easy web search for "M151 wheels" will show you why.
Assuming they're 16x4.5 inch, they look like M38 or M38A1 to me.

Hi Kendall,
Here's a 2-year old thread discussing the whereabouts and condition of MC10005 (Army Registration 2368163).
Last seen in reclusive (almost secret) private ownership in 2007.

Wes,
Those two manuals are rare gold nuggets and the links to them will get lost or at least difficult to search for in this gauge panel thread.
Can the links (or better yet, the pdf files) be pos ... |

I assume by "prototype" you mean the first 6 pilot models used for testing?
The M38 Reference Guide (book) calls them "prototype" models but the captions on the Army photographs in the Guide call the ... |

I'm using the 7.00x16 Firestone NDCC's on my M38 and M100.
Pretty sure the Army manual for the M38A1 calls for the same.
Pretty sure the Army supply system also provided 7.00x16 NDT's to be used i ... |

I probably have 5 or 6 of those switches, all busted.
Except for one good one, the rest all have a broken internal plastic rotor.

For Sale.
Finally got around to getting these off my M38 in favor of correct military wheels.
Two 16x5 steel wheels.
Believe they are originals (not repops) for Willys CJ, truck, or wagon.
