Information and Parts

While I'm thinking about it, I wanted to point out some of the places where I get information and parts. My main source of information and a great place to ask questions (especially on M38 and M38A1 Jeeps and their variants) is the Willys M Jeeps site. Wes and Ryan, along with the rest of the forum members, are a huge source of information and can answer just about any question you would ever have. There are also some great downloads on this site.

The other main source of information as well as parts is John Bizal at Midwest Military. John has done many restorations and is another wellspring of information as well as very high quality parts at reasonable prices.

A few other places I visit:

The "G" - http://www.g503.com/
The M38A1 site - http://www.m38a1.com/

And for some re-building information on T-90 transmissions and T-18 transfer cases:

I bought Rick's video - it's great.

As far as a library goes … I have these in both paper and electronic (PDF):
TM 9 – 8014 (Operation and Maintenance)
TM 9 - 8015-1 (Engine and Clutch)
TM 9 - 8015-2 (Powertrain and Body)
ORD 9 SNL G-758 (Full, detailed parts listing)

And these in paper only:
AR 850-5 (Markings)
TB 9 – 2855-43 (Personnel Hot-water Heater Kit Installation)
TM 9 – 2320-208-20P (Repair parts and special tools)
TM 11 – 284 (Radio Sets – AN/GRC series)

I also have all revisions/updates to the above, if there are any. I also have this book: http://www.amazon.com/Jeep-Rebuilders-Manual-1946-1971-Restoration/dp/0837610370/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196280297&sr=1-14 – pretty good, nay EXCELLENT, book.

I’ve asked for this for Christmas … http://www.vintagevideo.com/jeep/index.html - shows a rebuild of a WWII Jeep, but I hoped to learn something out of it and get motivated.

I can tell you I've read for hours and hours and surfed the 'net for hours more to figure out the best way to do things!
