Hello Ron,
This looks like a nice piece to restore. Congratulations. I thought I'd share with you that I sold a USMC radio jeep to Jay, of Janes's Jeep in Napa, California. It had alot of original parts, and if you're searching for stuff, you might try Jay.
Have fun.

Welcome!
Lets start with the basics... Frame number, body number, engine number.
Just looking it appears you do not have an original gas tank and outer windshield frame. Your front frame has been worked on so no hooks or rings.
How about a photo or two from the back, are the rings there? Also a few photos of the dash and inside the glove box.
Do you have the PTO at the rear of the transfer case? Is that a T90 transmission?
There are quite a number of threads on this subform on guys with MZ-2 that have information... all you need to do is look.

I see... I cannot remember what I had for breakfast either!
You are going to need to work on the front frame as I see lots of gusset plates and a channel bumper. I can't remember, Farrell, did Jon put up the dimensions for the holes on JeepDraw for the hooks and front rings?
