The best way that I've found is to heat the surface with a heat gun. Then soak in Goo-Gone or something similar and then cover it with Al foil to keep the GG from evaporating as fast as it does in the open. Let it soak or a few minutes and then wipe and/or scrape to get it off. I use a plastic...

Yes they will and I finally found out why. It has nothing to do with concrete being "absorbed" through the case and neutralizing the acid. I talked to an submariner that used to work on the boats when they used Lead Acid batteries and they had the same problem. It turns out that the batteries...

That's what they do in airplanes and it seems to work well for them. It's one of the standard pre-flight checks. Just drain a bit of fuel from the bottom of the tank and into a clear glass jar. Look for water settled out then shake it up and look again. Not sure if it would work for diesel or...

Nice! What all did you find wrong with them? What was the cause of #2 not turning over by hand?

Doug, That looks like a worthwhile project! I'm definitely interested and I'd like to see what problems yu run into and how you deal with them. What are the engine and tranny out of and what year are they? Are you changing the diffy gears in the M37 or staying with the 5.89s?

Congradulations, Ray! You did a NICE job on the truck and the trailer!

Ha, ha. that's what you get for not showing up till 3PM Friday and 11 AM on Saturday! I found a LOT of stuff for my -37. Rear Curtain $5 (filthy but cleanable). Safety strap $5. Antenna base $10 (thanks, Razor!), original M-38 oil can holder $10, , a free cot (thanks again, Razor!), a...

PS: For any of you that are seriously interested in guns, there's two places some what nearby that you might want to visit. The A.W. Peterson gun shop in Eustis/ Mt Dora and Bruce Dow at DOW Arms Room in Ridge Manor /Dade City. A.W. Petersons started out in Denver, Co sometime in...

If you plan on driving in the morning you'll need wipers. It's cold here at night but warm during the day so the humidity is still up so lots of condensation. Florida is so humid that wipers and even AC for defrosting the windshield are pretty much year round necessities. Rain is a good...

FHP announces daytime driver license, vehicle inspection checkpoints http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/traffic/traffic_news/fhp-announces-daytime-driver-license-vehicle-inspection-checkpoints I just heard about this. I don't know when it starts but this is the area immediately south and...

This topic has been WELL covered in the Jeep forums such as earlycj5.net. You should check there for all the gory details. There are a lot of ifs, ands and buts regarding which wheels will fit, proportioning valves,etc. Most people are using d brake parts from Ford or Chevy trucks since...

? I just used two automobile batteries that I had around. I can't say what size they are but there's plenty of room in the M-37 battery box. IMO you should have more than enough room to put any kind of auto or pickup truck batteries in there.

NICE find Reb! I also have a '51 M37. You got a great deal IMO. Your's has a lot of parts that are near unobtainium. Whatever you do don't throw away or modify anything until you KNOW what it is, how rare it is and what it's worth. Even the bolts on the M37 are unique. Be sure to register...

FYI the M101A1 trailer was designed to be used the M37 therefore it uses the exact same tires, wheels, brake hubs and many of the brake parts. It may use other parts as well but I'm not sure of that. I believe it does use the same bows and bed sides. The lunette on the M101A1 is also at...

There's no G (Government model) designation or data plates because these were all COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) vehicles as were your later '70s and '80s Dodges. COTS was (and still is) the government's attempt to avoid high-priced, specially designed vehicles by using regular production line...

That might have worked at one time in Florida but it certainly won't now! At least when dealing with the DMV. I haven't used one of the title companies so I can't say about them. BUT Florida is like Colorado; you MUST have a title in your name to register it here, PERIOD. And it must be a state...

Flygirl and M37driver, I hope you'll come over and check out the G741.org site and register your trucks there. Mine is number 80010960, delivered 8/15/51. Driver, I have two extra transmissions including one that still new in the crate but I doubt you'd like the costs of shipping from Florida!

There's no such thing as "highway" gears for the M-37. They ALL came with 5.83 gears. SOME (and only some) of the Dodge PowerWagons had 4.89 gears installed and a few M-37 have had gears from a PW installed by later civilian owners. With 5.83 gears most people won't drive the M-37 over 45 MPH...

I got got home from the rally. It was much smaller than last year but we still had a great time. No MKT this year but Mike bought three times a much food as we could eat and no one went hungry! I was a day late getting there and missed the prime rib Friday night but we had left overs the next...
