USMC Powr-Lok

Post by ndnile » Wed Feb 09, 2022 7:23 pm

I have a 1962 USMC M170. As I understand it, it should’ve had Powr-Loks front and rear, but if it ever had them, they are not there now. Anyone know if M38A1s and M170s should have 10 or 19 spline axles.

Thanks, Doug

Hi Ken,

So any idea if the late Marine contract M38A1s had their 10 spline axles swapped for 19 spline or was there a special build of 10 spline power-locks?
