Guy across the street saved one of these and its what inspired me to get into MVs. Amazing trucks and even more amazing you found one and saved it! Great work!

Thank you sir! Could I have bad seals in the pump? A bad pump?? What would be letting the gas into the crankcase?

So I took the fuel pump off and I seem to have gassy oil coming out of the fuel pump when I turn it over. Obviously fuel would come out but this is rather oily! Also my oil is rather gassy as well when I checked it. Bad seal somewhere? You guys know tons more than I do so any help is greatly...

Plans for tomorrow...I think I traced an oil leak coming from where the fuel pump bolts up to the block. Gotta make a new gasket for that and see what happens. Also need to replace the breather line from the oil filler neck to the air cleaner elbow. There's no line there now so that could be...

Beautiful work! Live seeing M37s coming home!

Got a parts truck for free that has an amazing bed on it so there will be one on there soon!

here is the truck itself. Its a 1953 wo/w...will try to get some engine pics this week.

thanks to everyone who has posted! You guys are a wealth of knowledge i could only hope to understand one day. I promise im gonna get some pics up soon so you can see what im working with here, again thanks for everything and keep it coming! -Daniel

OK - so here goes. I got this truck from a buddy who has two more and was just an extra project. Im in love with it and want it to be as good as it can so I can enjoy it. Granted, due to work schedule I have only at most 2 days a week to work on it. Its only been run up and down the path...

I'm in wilson about 45 mins east of you. I really just want a fun toy that I can tool around in on the weekends. Its just there's always something going wrong with it every other day seems like. Just very frustrating that I haven't been able to enjoy it. Aren't spare 230 engines hard to come by?

i do believe mine is on its way out. If i were to put somethimg diff in its place, what is the easiest (which i know is a relative term here) to swap for such as placement and fitting correctly.

:drool:

I love seeing more MV projects other than Duece and CUCV...keep up the good work and keep the pics coming!

I guess a better way to put it is what do YOU use in YOUR truck?!

Now that Ive got the '53 where I want her, Im curious as to where you guys prefer to get your oil filters from and what oil is best to use? Ive heard several different answers on all of these.

its amazing what some people think is too far gone to restore and what those of us in the southeast where its humid and lots of rust would kill for!:-)

First time I've had to really mess with the distributor so I will check for tightness before I go destroying anything! Thanks!
