I paid less for 7 tires than one new. No shipping either since there's a tire yard right outside of rrad that is within easy driving distance of me. You would be mentally handicapped to buy new ones.

Actually I have looked into the price of these tires new. If I remember correctly somewhere in the realm of $1500 per tire. Trust me I'm running surplus 395s without a second thought. I gots a spare lol.

They do. The biggest problem with surplus tires in general is we typically don't know the history of them. Whether they were run low of air for a long time or sat flat on a truck for extended periods. Or whatever else can lead to a tire failing. It's the risk you take buying surplus tires.

Yikes. I know that wasn't fun.

I can't help you much with the trailer but you are correct on the deuce. The drivers side has the service brake air line and the passenger side has the emergency air line.

I told you I had a bit of rust damage. I guess it was worse than I thought. rofl

I'm currently in the process of painting mine. I have been keeping my powder coat shop busy with all the deuce parts I have been bringing them. I can't help myself. Those 50 year old parts turn out looking new. It's amazing. Though my friend works at the shop so I get a huge discount...

There's no doubt the 395s are an expensive conversion. Between wheels, tires, and powder coating the wheels I easily have 4k in mine. Like I said you wouldn't be disappointed with the 11.00-20s vs. The 9.00-20's.

You need to drive my truck with the 395s. That being said anything is better than 9.00-20's.

The ip drive gear is steel.

Yes, they are both rubber flex lines. You should be able to see and replace both from the bottom. I'm attempting to find the receipt from my hose shop to see if they wrote down the fitting sizes in case gimpy doesn't have any hoses left. Can't remember off hand what they were. I know they...

There are 2 oil lines on the ip. One that goes from the block to the ip gear adapter and one on the bottom that links the gear adapter to the actual injector pump. Replace both just to save yourself some headache down the road.

Deuce pressure plates may be a little harder to come by in Denmark than here.

4bt conversions have been done in m37's many times. As far as parts availability and performance upgrades I'd go cummins and I'm by no means a cummins fanboy.

4bt cummins!

It would be interesting to squeeze a multifuel into an m37. Kinda a heavy engine for such a small truck.

He said it has an electric fuel pump. However, that doesn't mean the mechanical one was bypassed if it has one.

No the booster pump is a diesel only thing. The floats in the carburetor could be sticking open causing fuel to flow into the cylinders. I'm not familiar with the old gasser trucks but I don't imagine there are too many ways for fuel to enter the engine oil.
