Shipping is the killer with these trucks. Anything heavy or bulky almost has to be picked up or gotten at a show/swap meet.

I have air cleaners. PM me if you are interested, but John Bizal at Midwest Military has then too and he is much closer to you. Vintage Power Wagon is also closer to you and they may have them.

John at Midwest and VPW have just about everything else on your list.

Be careful on the spark plug wires and the fuel pick up / sending unit. John Bizal now has good sending units. Some of the units are not dampened so your fuel gauge will bounce around. There are good spark plug sets and cheap spark plug sets. Be sure you know what you are getting and be aware that there are pros & cons with each.

The best prices I've seen on some spare tire mount parts is Snake River 4X4. Tom is a great guy to deal with. Once again however, shipping (Idaho is pretty distant from you) may be the deal killer.

That's a few places to start with, at least.

Good luck with your project! It looks like it will be a great truck when restored!

I also have a couple battery box lids; I can add them in when I go to get a quote (soon I hope) for the other parts you inquired about, too. If you'd like...

I think I used an MSD streetfire universal plug wire set for my M. I took a while to do the measuring and bending, but it works well. If you have a 24v system though, I don't think that'd work to well.

I can give you a North Carolina discount. My family wondered out of Goldsboro and Cherokee/Dillsboro.
