I have visited their shop in Nashville, Indiana. They were very friendly and accomodating. I purchased a set of side steps and Willys tailgate from them for my CJ5 restoration. Great quality parts.

Greetings Davie,

I am in the process of restoring my 1954 M170 front line ambulance. The M170 is 98% complete and I have a set of original bottom floor litter racks. Would be happy to provide you with photos and dimensions for the bottom racks.

Please feel free to email me at:

Greetings Wes!

Here are the dimensions from my Jeeps:

1952 US Army M38A1: 46 inches

1953 USAF M38A1: 56 inches

1954 M170: 46 inches

Glad to help!

Wes,

The engine number is: RMD 141604

It is painted a light green similar to Seafoam Green as used in my aircraft maintenance S-280 shelter interiors. Didn't know that they were painted this color by either Willys or the US Army. Perhaps to identify them as replacement engines at depot stocks?

Correction:

Hi Wes

The number is not even close. The Pennsylvania title lists the vehicle serial number. I am in agreement with you that it is contrived. Will be going with the registration number you suggested:

U.S.ARMY
20101767

Per your guidance, that is the best route for me to follow at this point ...

Hi Wes,

As promised, I am providing what numbering i found on my M170 hood.

U.S.A.
7310486

Looks original to the US Army markings, but who knows. Any thoughts?

Appreciate your assistance.

Thank you Wes! As always you are a great help. Will diligently try to get the original hood number. As promised, will get you the survey in the near future.

All the best!

Recently purchased a very complete M170 ambulance in very good condition.

SN#: 10747
DOD: 5/54

Seeking expert advice concerning the approximate registration number. From researching various sources, it appears that the US Army transitioned to a
number letter four number registration number ...

You need a UHF Male ( connector on the antenna) to BNC female ( connector on the cable) adapter to install the cable. Should be able to get one at a Radio Shack store.

Thank you for the info Wes. Will get the serial number to you when I remove the paint.

Need a passenger seat frame in restorable condition for my 1953 M38A1. Should anyone have one available, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Purchased a 1953 M38A1, SN MD 57610. Was wondering if anyone has a lower transmission floor cover Ordnance pn# 7697525, WO-674910 for sale. Seems as if this is a hard to find item from the various parts vendors. Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to contact me at:
