My User CP at the top when I'm logged in says 1,789 New Posts. I'm more than skeptical at this number. I'll see here in a moment if it goes to 1,790, then I'll have to accept the number. One poster mentioned something about giving more than 5 Thanks gets you suspended for 24 hours, is this true...
There were so many different flat heads by Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge back then. There were some that ran counterclockwise even. Depending on the cubic inches there were two lengths of blocks. The M37 used the T245 and T245A if I recall correctly. The M37 used the shorter block. But that...
Congratulations. These are such fun trucks. If you need help or assistance such as a schematic or some procedure from a manual let us know. I forget who it is or was, but they have the manuals on CD for sale. Right around 20 bucks as I recall. If you need either the early series or B1 series...
The front axles have a seal inside the axle tube that eventually needs replacing. The rear axle relies on the outer seal just behind the axle shaft flange to keep oil out of the wheel bearings. If you have leaky inner wheel seals, (they are the same front and rear) this will go a long way...
Both third and fourth gears are synchronized in both early and late New Process transmissions. Neither first nor second are synchronized. Like the 40 plus Deuces I've owned and the thirty or som M37's, they all have their own personalities. Some will run all day long at 55, some can't find the...
I have a winch set up sitting in the shop with original cable, end bell, triangular rounded corner connection for the end bell pin and chain and the hook on the end of the chain. I'll get some measurements when I can. I'm starting my four day rotation with 12 hour shifts early in the morning and...
Just an alternative for you. I have found that over the many years and trucks I have restored that everyones paint oxidizes (chalks out) regularly. I've found that taking a piece of the truck that has the color you want to paint the truck down to the nearest Home Depot or Lowe's and having them...
When I converted the 6X6 to 12 volts here a couple of years ago I also switched to LED lighting front and rear, as well as the tactical lighting. Had to use a flasher specifically designed for LED lighting. Found any number of colors and quantity of LEDs on a single bulb that would illuminate...
I'm 90 miles east of you. I start my four day rotation at work in a few hours and will work from 6 at night till 6 in the morning. 12 hour shifts can be tough. I have no clue about the diesels in Chevy's but if there is perhaps something I can help you out with let me know. I know and sometimes...
Have you checked the fluid levels in the gear boxes to include the tranny. xfer, front and rear diffs? If the truck has not been driven regularly I would take a filter and oil to change it out prior to driving it any distance. Check the level in the radiator and what condition it's in. If it...
Rust is usually the thing that you should be on the look out for. Another somewhat common area for rust is under the headlight guards on the front of the fenders. Look for bulging on the bottoms of the outer windshield frame. Also the underside of each door. Plus the other places already...

Back from Montana. If it wasn't wind, it was snow, and when it wasn't snowing, we were hunting in minus 15 weather. Had a good time. Came back with a noce cow. I PM'd you regarding the steering arm part. Tim had one but it wasn't any good apparently. He believes he might have another used one...
I don't know enough about the civilian engine to comment. But perhaps an engine shop could determine if your current head could be milled to increase compression. I've also heard of an intake manifold that uses a two or four barrel carburator. I don't know if any are still available. Good luck...
Thank you for the offer. I also tried Brent Mullins as suggested and never got a reply back. I would love a second spare for my other M37 in case I ever need one. I'm off to Montana to deer and elk hunt so I'll be gone for a week or so. Please let me know what you would want for the arm and...
Thanks very much Tim, I've had no luck coming up with one. I'll PM you when I get back. We just came back for a few hours to drop off our deer. We got a couple of really nice bucks. So we're back off to go after a couple of bulls. Thanks again Tim.
Regards,
Bryan
I'm looking for a new or used in good shape arm that attaches to the M37/M43 steering gear box and connects to the drag link. It is the small arm that has a ball on the end. If anyone has some parts left over from a power steering conversion or just parts in general and has one of these they...
