I'll check the TB in the next couple of days to see if I have any of the additional pages. I may have only gotten the section of the manual that applies to M-37. If I find the additional pages, I'll post them in this thread. Otherwise, just send me a PM with your email and I'll send them to you...

Congratulations! Are you going to restore it or just get it running and use it?

I've used Rick Larsen. Great company, great product, dependable service. Storm 51

Yes, that is the map light / trouble light outlet. Mine works and it is nice to have (of course I have the light - so that makes a difference). Worth considering when you have your harness built. Storm 51

Also, I forgot to mention to be sure to get the correct connectors for your truck (Packard or Douglas). Also specify whether you want a a two wire or three wire rear tail light set up. Do you want turn signals? There is also a connector for a map light that goes on the lower right corner of the...

Order a new harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine. It is expensive (but not as expensive as an electrical fire). Get the complete set (Main front and rear harness, instrument cluster, etc.) for your truck. Install it per the manuals (you should have purchased the hard copies of the manuals by...

Talk to John at Midwest Military about how to deal with the old style filters. These were on the early trucks and I believe there was an MWO to upgrade the trucks to the new style radio noise suppressor which is all self contained within the distributor. Others here, or on G741, may have more...

I had all my bolts and nuts cad plated (saved me a lot of time cleaning and running a tap or die through each one). Bulk price was very cost effective. I did not repaint my nuts or bolts (or truck when done) because I liked the look of the silver bolts / nuts against the O.D. background color...

Congratulations on your new truck, Coffey1! Looks like most of the parts are there and not too rusted out. Be sure to go over to G741.com to let the folks over there know about your new acquisition. Lots of very knowledgeable and experienced people over there. I think it'll look better in...

How many extra leaves? Were they just in the rear or were some added to the front too? I know this was done, but I've been able to get the details. I sure would appreciate any specifics you could provide. Thanks! Storm 51

I'll be there, Jim. How early can we check in? Storm 51

There is a good place in Marysville called Alternative Blasters. A friend of mine who owns an automotive business takes all his stuff there (mine too, when I put some in his loads). I've always been pleased with what comes back, so you might try them. I believe that Seattle and King County have...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! There're lots of Deuce owners here (or people owned by Deuces - not sure which is more accurate). I'm sure they will be along shortly. I'm an M-37 guy. Since you "used to be" a radio repairman, I have to ask, do you still fix radios? Specifically old boat anchor tube...

Be sure to ask about this over on G741 too. There are lots of very knowledgeable people over there who have a great deal of experience. I've never had to deal with frame issues, so I'm not much help. Great to see the picture of Kyle. He looks like he enjoys what he is doing and it always is...

It is not my intention to dispute or correct anyone. I was simply relating my experience. Yours may have been different. My apologies if you precieved my post as correcting you. Storm 51

I was never issued any plates. The Licensing agency just reactivated the old plate and tag I had purchased. Storm 51

Yes, they know the difference. They are bureaucrats; they will go by the book. They WILL NOT DEVIATE. They will DELAY as opposed to DECIDE. They will see the year of your vehicle from the title. They will look up the license plate from that year. The plate and the tab will have to be from that...

My M-37 / M-42 has a TRUCK license plate AND TAB (you MUST have the tab to use the plate) from 1951. The Truck is a 1952. You can have a plate and tab from one year before or one year after the vehicle was manufactured. Also you must use a truck plate for a truck and a car plate for a car if...

That truck looks to be in great shape! Congratulations on your purchase and project. You need to get some pictures of you and Kyle in there too. Need pictures of the team with the project. Storm 51

Thanks for the information on the lights! I'm not quite ready to cut holes in my bumper, but I appreciate the information Thanks again! Storm 51
