Thank you, I'm pleased with how it's turning out

Finally got finished adding the troop seats to match the bed floor. I still have some finishing touches to add but tall get the gist

All I have left to do is matching troop seats, that will be simple compared to the floor. Does anyone have proper dimensions?

The wood cured in our barn for about 3 years. Black Walnut is simply beautiful once varnished. I will have more pictures this weekend. A few friends and I will be in the Pittsburgh Veterans day parade Saturday

I already have the straps, I just need to drill them for the bolts. The troop seats, bed floor and pioneer kit tools will all be in Black Walnut.

I don't have a spare tire at the moment, but it will eventually go back there if it works with the troop seats. The troop seats aren't in the picture but they will be done in black walnut as well. Lastly, i plan to stain the tools on the pioneer kit to match

Black Walnut bed Its been a long time coming but the Black Walnut Bed is finally going into the truck. My goal is to have it ready for the Veterans day parade in November!

Boy, those would look great on my rig. Have u settled on an asking price?

I repowered my 62 m37 with a 4bt Cummins and a ZF5 OD Ford transmission. Used an adapter plate from Destroked to mate the two. I also put 37" Humvee tires on it. I get about 55 mph on the stock gearing and transfer case. In fact, the drive shafts and tranny will slide together without major...

Fitting the cummins with front motor mounts Hi Guys, Here are a couple more steps toward installing a Cummins into my M37. 1st pic: is of my front motor mounts. By putting the slight curve on them I was able to use the stock frame mounts thus putting the weight where it was originally...

I can't take all the credit here. The guys here and over at the M37 only site, g741.org have been more than helpful, its a great community. I've modeled my powertrain after Cabell Garbee's truck. Google his truck, he has a TON of info and has been super helpful as i work through this project...

Tuko, So far I am using a 4bt Cummins mated with a diesel ZF5-42(5 spd w/ OD)- This tranny was bolted to a Powerstroke 350 4x2 Ford. It calls for the FordCummins adapter plate ($600). I was given the tranny so I decided to make it work rather find a Gas model. The ZF attached to the Gas...

Hi T, I'm excited about how it will look as well. I think additional wood in the bed will tie in nicely with the troop seats/side slats. *update: I have located my Cummins engine and ZF OD 5 spd tranny. I'm building motor mounts and swapping her over to 12 volt now. I have the wood...

Yes sir! I looked it upon your mentioning it on the other thread

Thanks Clinto, I have read Cabell's site a bunch of times, there is some really great information there! He has been a helpful inspiration

Is this a big show? I live south of Pittsburgh and am considering driving up for a bit! I just got into MV hobby and would love to meet some of the local guys and learn some stuff!

Hey Gunboy, Any luck on finding an M37!? I am not too far from ya down in Bethel Park, PA (8 miles south of Pitt). Once mine is road worthy perhaps we'll run into each other at one of the meets/shows. Good luck

I have a mostly original 63 Dodge m37 that i've been working on. After getting her running, albeit weak, i realized that the engine might be trashed. To my dismay the block turned out to be junk when I pulled the engine out. I happen to have a 4bt cummins engine and ZF 5 spd transmission...

Hello everyone, I've been reading about everyones projects for the better part of the past two years and recently bought a 1963 M37 that is in great shape. The odomoter said 14k (obviously not always accurate). The mechanical stock fuel pump was shot so i put an electric one on and that did...
