The factory specification when new is: Top Speed 55 MPH, Range 150 miles (6mpg) This speed is also stamped on the max speeds dataplate on the dash. From a practical standpoint, think 45-50 with a stock truck. If he blew the motor at 45-50, he likely had something going on... ie, there is...

I've got a solid state unit in one of my trucks, the rest have the old breadbox... Nice thing about the solid state one is that there is nothing mechanical in it to wear or get corroded, of course, you can't work on them much in the field... Everyone that I know who has installed a solid...

Since the headlight ground is to the fender, you also want to check the tightness of the bolts attaching the fender to the body and ensure that you have a good ground path there since you need a good ground path from fender to frame. You may also want to check for excessive vibration of the...

I got one set from Rick Larsen (Military Stencils) and one set from Sam Winer. Got them both years ago for about half what TNJ is selling them for now... Wonder if either one still has any in the bin?

I've got LED elements in most of myvehicles in the stop/tail/turn housings... I have H4 E-Code (European standard) lights on all my vehicles... One of the pages on my website that discusses H4 lighting is located at: http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/headlights.htm FWIW: A buddy of mine who...

Re: RE: Rebuild my 1962 M37 This is the best reply so far IMHO. You can't answer any of your questions concerning any of the components without considering the overal picture since they are all interrelated. An example: If you are going to stay with the stock engine, keeping the brakes...

In addition to the comments above based on a similar situation on a couple of my trucks... I've actually had more than one housing that did not have shared grounds... Solution for me was to pull both mounting bolts and clean them both up, the threads in the housing, and the contact area on...

That is correct. The two u-bolts for each mast go through existing holes in the back of the cab. Area the mast ride in is reinforced some... The instal is pretty obvious when you have the parts, instructions, and the truck all within sight of each other :)

Re: RE: No CDL/Antique plates- Driving to other states. You are not a resident of CA, your insurance is not CA, your vehicle registration will not be for CA... Your home state of residence will control. Interstate Commerce Laws apply...

A buddy of mine who attended Aberdeen a couple years ago (drove up last year, but spent most of his time shopping at the mall and visiting historic sites with his wife...) had a large stash of 6TL blems. I'll ask him if he can get a supply for this year... Meanwhile, I have two brand new, in...

RE: pumps Local VFD near me used to have a M101 with a pump/tank combination in it that they stored at the farm (along with the M37 brush truck that pulled it) since we were much closer to the National Park than the fire house. Saved them lots of time if they drove to the farm then got into...

If you get a spot this year, you get first dibs on it next year (and you get a couple months to do so before they open up registration to everyone else). Of course, I've been hearing that the rally might move next year, but I suspect that returning vendors will get first shot at spaces, just...

Dan, if Adam's dad can't swing it for some reason, give me a hollar. I'm forty miles from Bragg and can stash it in my yard in Raleigh if you need me to. :)

Chris, how wedded are you to joining us in Petersburg? The last couple of years Blake Sheppard has made the trip up from Norfolk and has found it easier to just drive up on Thursday morning and meet up with the Serial at the Transit Truck Stop in Doswell (right accross the street from the...

Since the other guys have answered the rest, I'll take the composite tailight question... :) You can use the current production composit tailights (and front marker lights for that matter) on a M37 with a slight modification. The mounting holes drilled in the tailight bracket are about a...

One of the things that our Communications Officer will be distributing to all of the convoy partipants just prior to the Convoy will be a listing of Ham/Military frequencies, FRS/GRS and CB,channels to be used as primary and secondary channels by each Serial. Included will be cell phone...

Then, there are those of us who do not have an avatar (and aren't really looking to get one...). So, he isn't missing anything on MY posts... ;)

A quick check of your state's code will usually show you the answer to this type of question, but yellow and white flashing/rotating lights are generally considered to be warning lights and, as has been said already, better to beg forgiveness than to be dead... Now, in North Carolina the color...

You can stay in a Vendor spot without selling. The big deal is that they do not want you selling stuf in the Display area. Plus, having a Vendor spot gives you a garunteed location. Good luck.
