I’m trying to locate and buy the proper fuel pump, with no luck. I don’t have a core so it’s no dice so far

I just acquired a 24 volt starter and a 24 volt generator. They look good, but have no idea if they function.

What options do I have for sending off for rebuild?

Question of the day: Repair or replace?

Weld up and re-drill? or cut the hangers off and replace including new...

Yes, I was scared away from those wheels while viewing them on the Kaiser site because of the civilian designation listed. If those are indeed a match to the original wheels then I'm onboard.

Original wheels were stolen before I acquired the jeep so a set of torched out misfits with may-pops were fitted to get it home.....trash now
