Ahhhh, Overhauled in May '73. I'm curious if the serial number gurus can decipher what the year of manufacture was.

I could be wrong but I thought the M54 production years were from '51 to '64.

I'm with Kenny on this one, silicone spray is the way to go. The spray is also nice to make reconnecting Packard connectors easier, they come apart easier too.

The data plate on the dash indicates a top speed in any gear. 5th gear in high range tops out at 56mph.

Where ya at in Northern Idaho? My Wife and I used to live in Nampa.

A switch rated at 20 amps would be more than sufficient. If you plan on running a lot of accessories, I would use the master switch to energize a relay, and let the relay contacts handle the load. In reference to your screen name, will this be used for some sort of rural fire service?
