Fording kit pictures

Post by jeepers52 »

Hello and I need some help.

Does anyone have some good, up close pics that show the instillation of the fording kit. I want to be sure I am doing it right. Thanks in advance for your help.

I did not catch which model you are installing the fording kit too...I believe the Canadian Operators manual for the M38A1 has detailed instructions for the fording kit. I think there is a schematic for proper hole spacing and placement, etc. I know it is standardized not random drilling.

The early Post Publications from the late '60's on the MB/GPW has a rare TM reprint on fording kits for the WWll jeeps. This one is more DIY looking.

Can't recall one off-hand for the M38.
