    Contact Maintenance Trailer

    Go back 2 pages and check out the pics I posted. That's an A2 frame and axle with 265/76/16 tires. I haven't had a chance to bolt it down yet, but it still has the welder and air compressor inside. One day ill have to take it to the scales and see how much it weighs

    New 887 owner

    Eberhard is the mfg, however that model latch is no longer in production. They do have several models that are close and can probably be easily modified to work.

    M37 wheel options

    There a one piece 16x6.5 rim made by GKN. A few years back a ton of these sold on GL, however lately they've seemed hard to get and there pricy. They fit stock M37 or M101A1 great, but if you've swapped to disc brakes on your M37, they dont fit due to the drop in the center of the rim. There's a...

    Splicing Throttle Cables

    Anybody done it successfully, something they would be confident with every time you took your truck out? I'm in the middle of swapping a 6.2 diesel into my M37, and the throttle pedal kit in using is designed for a carb, or an engine with just a hole in the linkage, not a stud like the 6.2...

    800 t-case question

    Loc-tite calls it "609". Its a bearing retainer, designed to "take up" up to .005" tolerance between the bearing and the surface it rides against. It has similar characteristics to blue loc-tite, in the working times and temp range. I used some when I reassembled my NP205 for my M37, required a...

    New to me 1953 m37

    There should be 2 shifter sticks for the tcase. Looks like the right side one has been torched or cut off, Have you tried shifting the one hooked up and seeing what happens? The one hooked up should be your high/low shift rail, so my guess is they only hooked up the high /low and just left the...

    Need Help With Transfer Case Swap

    After doing some googling, looks like you need a figure 8 TH400/NP205 adapter, and a long spline th400 input gear. ORD lists the adapter #GU4032, for $260 I'm sure AA has one as well. Personally id still call Zbag for the input gear, as they had the cheapest price for said parts when I was...

    Need Help With Transfer Case Swap

    You are correct, there were 2 different patterns for adapters on the front, nice thing is, there popular for swapping. Check with Advanced Adapters, I believe they have a package that is the correct input as well as a new trans/tcase adapter. There spendy, but depending on your location, may be...

    Need Help With Transfer Case Swap

    If the input length on the tcase is the issue, why not just swap the input gear? Tcase is already out, flop it on the bench, and get to swapping. With the input in hand, take under an hour, there super easy. Google ZBag for an input shaft. I just bought one, for a 205, was under $80. The long...

    1951 m37 with Chevy small block 350

    Dont feel bad about the Chevy in a dodge, I'm in the process of stuffing a turbo 6.2/700R4 in my M37. Cant wait to see how it turns out

    Dana 60 for front end

    While a Chevy axle will bolt in and fit, there's no reason to buy, or pay CUCV prices for front Dana 60's. M880's are only 4.10 geared, so you would have to spend more money to regear it to work. Check out Craigslist for guys parting out 89-93 Dodge Cummins trucks. There's also a couple...

    Dana 60 for front end

    You could just leave the 203 if its not causing issues and run drive flanges in the Dana 60. Depending on your location, but Dana 60's usually run $600-$1000 depending on gears, dually or single wheel, etc. Just a thought, if you had any interest in running HMMWV rims on your truck, get a...

    M1028 A1 Contact Truck with M887 contact body and Wisconsin Generator

    The large silver box in the second photo is the overspeed relay box. I had issues with mine when I first bought it, turned out the clear relay on top was faulty. Swapped it out with one off a parts one a fellow SS'er had and she ran. Cant remember where I had found them before, but I believe...

    6.5L Turbo refit

    Finally warmed up enough to finish my crossover pipe. To clarify, this isn't in a CUCV series vehicle, I stuffed a 6.2/Th700R4 into an M37, using a '97 'burb turbo setup off a 6.5. However, these part numbers will help those who are missing the little pieces to assemble there's. I used the...
