The square shouldered design is considered the NDT. There is a rediculous notion out there that there were no NDT's produced after WWII. This is a gross error started by STA (Specialty Tire of America) and can still be found on some of there websites. All of the many many M37's I have personally...
I've had so many M37s and M35s I'm trying to recall ever seeing an NDCC on an M37. I have a few 9.00-16s right now and they're NDT. On the M35s I'm trying to remember ever seeing anything but NDCCs on them. I have to go with the NDTs being the correct M37 tire, even up through the B1 series into...
There were some years in the B series run that had the frame vin stamped on the passenger side. Check there as well. I never found out whether it was mistake or intentional placing the vin on the passenger side frame rail. IMO it was a mistake by someone on the line during build. Also, these vin...
I find this forum has a lot more knowledge floating around than over at G741. That forum has an issue that prevents a lot of folks from participating in it.
What year is the M37, not 1965 by chance. I can offer you first hand knowledge of it if it is. I know of only one person so far to adapt...
tx399999, I see how the "equalizer" is wired in. Where do you tap the 12 volts from? The red wire goes through a silver device and is tied to the 24 volts out, the terminal closest is tied to the ground or negative in, and the center termial is tied to the postive side of the bottom battery. Is...
The only problem with converting a 24 volt system to 12 volt is the gage of the wiring. Normally the wiring in our trucks is 14 awg. The work a device performs is measured in watts. 24 volts uses half the current that 12 volts uses. For instance, headlights, a headlamp is generally rated at 50...
Doghead, I'm curious as to what "Certified" means when applied to CD V700. Find out whether or not the check source is still attached to the side of the 700. Generally the criteria for a 700 was that it detect the minimum level of radiation and not accuracy. The combination of transistor and...
I dug this unit up to show folks who may not know what is being discussed. This is an unusual unit in that is has an external speaker attached. That was an option. This is a series 6 so it requires 5 D cell batteries. The speaker uses 2 D cells. There is a check source on the side but they are...
The issue with the manual lever on the side of the original equipment M37 fuel pump is not the position of the lever, it is spring located through the main pump spring. The manual lever is sometimes ineffective because of the camshaft position. The camshaft drives the pump and if the cam lobe...
I've had a couple of sets of manuals including the trasnmission manuals and various updates for many years. I also bought the CD version which is nice. I also will print out what I need and not worry about grease, grime, and finger prints with a copy. If you're serious about these trucks...
Nobody's arguing here Bruce, especially between me and Bill W. Isn't it strange Bill, they were pretty much gone by 1973 from the active roll and yet they were still issuing contracts for all kinds of parts. I've found 2 different versions of inner wheel seals both out of france and both date...
I own 3 M37's made after 63 and have owned a few more over the years, none had packard type connectors. I've used several NOS harnesses manufactured in the early 70's and all connectors were Douglas. I've never seen an M37/M43 with packards though. We're pretty lucky out here because of the dry...
The engines were designated T245 and T245A respectively. Haven't really found any differences in the engines. The boxes were different in that the spare was mounted outside the drivers door so the troop seats were full length both sides on the B1. Also the bed tool boxes had tabs welded on to be...
What a lot of fun last year was. What a fantastic assortment of vehicles. I'll be in the middle of my four day rotation at work and won't be able to make it this year. I was so looking forward to this years Parade. I wish everyone the best.
Regards,
Bryan
