Thanks Mike. I still have to replace the u-joints (found them sticking when I did the pinion seal), re-cover the driver's seat (after I find a new back) replace the radiator and more painting. Sadly, I'm running out of good weather for the painting, so I don't think that will be done until...
M37 Update 7 Weeks In
It's been just 24 days since I recovered my M37 and thought it was time for a progress report. In no particular order:
Install keyed battery disconnect switch

I was at DMV for 7 hours Tues trying to get plates for my M37. I had to go thru VIN verification as the truck was titled, but from out of state. The Inspector did check other things, he was complaining that my tires didn't have a DOT stamp on them. He only looked at the data plate on the...
