The engine runs perfect which is so unusual for a jeep this old from my experience. There are lots of aviation, off road and farm tractor fuel sellers around here so fortu ... |

I knew an older gentleman who did the same thing in the mid 1960's. He bought his M38 in Richmond, VA at a surplus auction and drove it home. That must of been about a two to four hour drive at that ... |

Thanks Wes! I will look for the AVGAS!

What I meant was I have never come across a stand alone USMC M170 manual from the 1960's devoted exclusively to that vehicle. The other M170 manuals I already know, but thanks.
The 1966 USMC M38A1 ... |

Although rare, there is a parts manual for the 1960's USMC M38A1 vehicles published not by the Army but by the Marines in 1966.

I have never seen any M170 manuals from ... |

You can find what you want from just about any vender as NOS.
Those vehicles were built similar to the early 1960's USMC M38A1's. Unless you can find a 1960's M170 parts manual, the only way to co ... |

For the record NOS radiators are still available and sell for around $400 to $500. The hardest part is finding one. |

I would keep a Nekaf as a Nekaf. At least in the states they are not that common and have a lot of details better suited to modern traffic than the original M38A1's. |
