I like what Bill W did. Off the shelf tools and clever thinking. Good luck. I have broken several steering wheels in my life trying to remove them.

Good luck buddy!

electric fan was on my list of things to do. I'm use to cars with bad cooling

The truck doesnt have an RPM gauge so I am scared to see go too fast. I'm worried that I would be cruising in Redline or something like that. I'm going to wire a tach up so I can see where I am with engine speed. But, the tach isn't working either, so I will need to fix that in order to figure...

In terms of gearing, the m37 is 5.83 stock. I can spend a boat load of money to change the gearing to 4.89 but thats still pretty far off from your 4.10 gears.

65 sounds good!

Let me clarify this. The SM420 allows the truck to be in 2wd mode as much as I want. I use the transfer case to put the truck in 4wd hi and 4wd low, Just like everyone else. My question was: I would like to retain this feature, meaning I would like to keep the transfer case. But the gearing of...

Hey guys, I'm finally picking up that Chevy 350 powered M37 I posted about a while back. The seller had been out of town every weekend since i saw the truck in person. As a follow up the truck has: Chevrolet 350 engine, Sm420 Transmission. I don't know the exact tire size but its not stock as...

Part two of the build is this Sunday!

These are pretty expensive gauges aren't they? Doing some research I saw those somewhere else. Autometer makes a "Hot Rod" gauge that is a black face with chrome bevel. But, if i bought these i would paint over the chrome so they are all black. So its either the Datcon gauges or the autometers...

Here is a link to the calipers that I think would work. Am I wrong? RockAuto Parts Catalog UNFORTUNATELY i CANT POST A DIRECT LINK. Lets post a Part NUmber so that everyone has it for future reference There is no such thing as a silverado back then. I chose the C10 truck.

Where exactly are the leaks coming from? I don't have one of these trucks yet, but Id like to know what to look out for.

Bubba, what power steering system are you running? Was it a kit you bought or did you rig it yourself?

Thats great to hear. I checked Ebay and it seems like they are priced a little higher than that, but I'm sure a little shopping around and Ill find some deals. In terms of gauges, the next challenge would be getting those 24volt gauges to work with the 12volt system of the small block. I have...
