Does your oil look and feel normal?

OK, now I'm curious: what the heck were you doing that you managed to roll an M37 - and more than once? I've only had that worry cross my mind once: when I ws forced of a narrow dirt road a few years ago by someone coming the other way who refused to get over on his own side of the road...

11.00R16 Michelin XZL tires are 38.7" diameter. They are a popular choice on M37 Trucks, though they are not cheap. I have them on my truck. They fit without rubbing on my stock suspension. I got mine from Colony Tire in Norfolk, VA and had them shipped to me. You can find them at this ad on...

Put it on the right rear of that M37, and it will be in the right direction, and each truck will have matching tread (at least on the tires I can see.)

I have not done one, but a 4BT is a popular swap.

@Johnbyrdgates Any updates on your electric conversion?

I'm wondering if that 330 jet is a typo. However, I don't know enough about carbs and jets to make an educated guess.

What temperature are you baking at to reduce hydrogen embrittlement? My experience is limited: several decades in the steel spring wire manufacturing business. We did a lot of heat treament (quench and temper to increase hardness/tensile strength), but we did no plating. Many of our spring-maker...

I was told to remove a small plug near the bottom of the ball, then remove the zerk from the top, place it where the plug was in the bottom and grease until the grease just starts to come out of the top (where the grease zerk was). When done, return the plug and the zerk to their original positions.

Unless I'm picturing s different grease point, aren't you supposed to grease from the bottom, not the top? You temporarily move a grease zerk to that point and pump it up into the bearings.

Your original plates were brass?

I have no idea what winch goes on an M714, but the winch for an M37 is a Braden LU4

There is no "Civilian M37". THey were all made for the military. I posted wiring diagrams in response to your comment in another thread. Not sure what you mean by "civilian coil". If your truck was converted to a civilian 12 V distributor, I can't help you on finding a coil for that, but it...
