    Help with identifying these trucks please

    The same goes for CH-53 helicopters, all models. If it ain’t leaking, there ain’t no oil.

    M37 Barn Find

    Update, truck now runs, transmission now has a functioning clutch so I can move it. It's in the barn for now until some other projects get done.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Installed a brand new Rampage model K-4768QAM/FM cassette player. Found it new, still in its bubble pack. Then I found a box of Christmas cassettes. Now I've got a real system that shouldn't fry my batteries. Also getting the truck Christmas lights functioning again. Last year I fried the radio...

    M37 hydraulic clutch?

    I figured it out. Because this truck has a 318 V8 made between 1957 and 1966, the mechanical linkage will not fit. The previous owners solution was to install a hydraulic clutch. He used a M37 master cylinder, about 3 feet of aircraft grade hydraulic hose, some fittings and a second hydraulic...

    M37 hydraulic clutch?

    I can't seem to find anything on the subject so here it goes: the clutch pedal when depressed, actuates a hydraulic cylinder, similar to the brake master cylinder. It is in fact mounted just outboard of the brake master cylinder. A hose runs from the back of the "clutch cylinder" to a smaller...

    Corrosion Control Cart

    Underneath the GovPlanet sticker, should be the data plate that tells you what the manual is. If possible, give the exact dimensions of the bearing/race/parts/doodads. I'll dig thru my pile and see what I've got.

    M37 Barn Find

    Still trying to get the clutch working. The fork doesn't move at all when the pedal is depressed. Getting all the panels off is proving to be a PITA. The massive heater is in the way but I'm not sure how to get it out. Fun, fun, fun. I'm about ready to push it out of the way. I gotta get the...

    M37 Barn Find

    Yes, the smoke is slowly getting under control. The initial roughness is almost over. I'm still tweaking the carb. I wonder if it was common practice to put Motorcraft Carbs on Chrysler engines?

    M37 Barn Find

    Well, it's mostly working, I can keep it running. Now, the clutch isn't working. I guess tomorrow I get to explore underneath.

    It is alive!!! She's smoking like a coal fired freight train but she runs!!! Still need to check the cooling system but the fuel is working (from a small temporary gas tank).

    M37 Barn Find

    Got the truck running! Yippee, yahoo!!! Now that that's out of my system... Manual choke cable had more wiggles than a belly dancer. Fortunately I have a brand new one. The automatic choke is fubared (I should have said that firstly). The wiring under the dash looks like one of those garter...

    M52A2W Buying Opportunity.. Good or Bad?

    Climb underneath and look for your drive shafts. A really important one is the short shaft without which a lot of nothing occurs. Nice rig! I bought mine from a rural fire station. It's a M52A2 turned into a tanker. I dumped the water tank and have slowly been returning it to stock. Good luck!

    M37 Barn Find

    Looks like it was manufactured from 1957 thru 1967. It uses Champion RJ12YC. Still looking for a replacement fuel pump, tune up kit, probably water pump and maybe new belts.

According to the net source I found, it's number is 2468230, which indicates the motor is a 318 of the A family of MOPAR engines. Now to find the year codes so's I...

    M931A2 Eastern Surplus

    I'm no barracks lawyer but slinging mud without documented, public knowledge that has been vetted is looking for a law suit. I have been and will continue being a customer of Eastern and have been satisfied with their service. I shop around for part, price and condition. I buy the best deal I...
