Does anyone have such a thing (ex. a spreadsheet)? What parts are/are not common between the two? Like Tie rod ends.

If you have a 24 volt waterproof ignition M38/M38A1 that is basically stock then the short answer is:
Electrical (lamps, power, instruments etc) NO
Suspension Most NO
Steering Most No
Body Some.
Fuel No
Brakes Most yes.
Basic engine Most Yes.
Basic tranny Most yes.
Basic transfer Most Yes
Basic axles Most Yes

How about an x-ref spreadsheet of military part numbers to "civilian" part numbers I can use at NAPA, AutoZone, etc.??

Not yet. Need a volunteer to act as the collection point for the numbers and to build the list. There's a good WWII jeep x-ref and Portrayal Press offers a booklet with a lot of good info called "Army Vehicle Parts Guide" by Dennis R. Spence.

I have been writing civvy numbers in a copy of my ORD 9 for a few years and when I get enough I will put up a sheet.
