I gave you a list up a few posts along with the TCS manuals. You need to do a little research so you can tell the correct stuff.
Here is a photo of the most common... a COL-21881.
Here is a later one that can use 12v or 24v, the COL-211330. This one had its final inspection on 3-20-1945 and was sealed NIB.

It was $12, so I figured what the heck. At the time I found it, I didn't have anything to reference it.
Body needs a lot of work. So many pin holes!

Lots of Military duty has put this on hold. It still looks like a pile of parts, though not a rusted pile of junk. The fabrication of the radio and battery boxes has drawn all resources away from the jeep itself.
Still in search of:
Spicer 18W tensioner arm.........
FOUND!
