Very impressive. Thanks for the pictures. Regards

I saw a picture of a model of an M37 in 6X6 configuration, in a book written by Zenthmeyer, many many years ago and built this truck based on that picture. I had discovered a way to mount a new model M37 transmission to a Mopar V8 and dropped in a 360 V8 wth engine driven air compressor and...

I found the NSN: 4820-01-193-1762 Gringle made a reference to a manually and electrically operated control valve for a crane. I wonder what series number of truck this applies to. I've seen pictures of all kinds of HEMTTs. Thanks everyone.

The small bag has some o-rings, plstic plugs, and a rod threaded atboth ends. I'll include a picture of the backside . It has some sort of threaded stub piece I assume the rod threads into and the solenoid has the actuator rotate the stub shaft to some degree. Thanks Gringeltaube reply and pic...

I hope this is the correct category of truck. I have a part that has been buried in my parts bins for a couple of years. It is NOS and I believe by the part number it is for the HEMTT family of trucks. The part number is 85570-06-24P. Before I list it on ebay I would really like to know what it...

The transfer cases in WC62's and 63's were essentially the same transfer case as in the M37 and M715. There are some WWII Dodges that still have the original 1.5:1 low range gears although most were changed over to the 1.98:1 during later Depot rebuilds. The flanges are of course different...

I just went online and I'm pretty sure it was H-9045 for the handle. I don't remember if I installed these or not on my personal dueces years ago. Good luck.

Years ago I did some searching and found a keyed external door handle with a built in lock. I found them at Orr & Orr. I got a catalog from them almost a year ago and found they still offer the door handle. I liked it because the holes were the same distance apart as the M37 door screw holes. I...

I talked to John this afternoon about the bows, he mentioned my post here. He explained about the priority thing. I understand completely. He is still trying to get them in from the bender and will call again on Monday. He was pleasant as always but was alitttle concerned I may have sounded a...

I forgot to mention the vent, Good catch, Thanks Ranger

I'll try a 100k pic. It's a little bigger when you click on this one. I left the top large bushing hand tight to fill the bleeder once it's attached to the master cylinder.

Here's a pic of the power bleeder I made up. It has a small hand valve at the bottom to help with not losing the brake fluid when removing the bleeder from the master cylinder. Hopefully the pic will be seeable.

I'm doing a break job right now as a matter of fact. Adjustin the brake shoes to get as reasonably close as possible before I power bleed them. I really don't worry too much as long as after the truck will stop. The idea is that after I have driven it several miles stopping it at short...

The brakes when adjusted properly are pretty hard and little pedal down travel. But there's the catch. Getting these old brake shoes to adjust properly is really tough. There are the bottom adjusters which place the bottom of the shoes close to the drum but also raise and lower the shoe to get...

Thanks Nattie, I've been keeping an eye on epay but no luck yet. I'll hopefully find someone who has an extra one laying about they wouldn't mind selling.

Thanks, I just called them. Midwest had been asking $55 for theirs, Vintage wants $95. I may have to bite the bullet on this one until I can have some made when I get back the end of November.

Last season we were using the Dodge and bent up the cab top bow pretty bad. I have been contacting and waiting for a couple of months for Midwest Military to get them back in stock and yesterday they indicated it just wasn't a priority for them. We're trying to get the Dodge in shape to head out...

I've owned two of them. They have their good points and bad. They are an enjoyable truck to drive. The cab is limited in size because of the convenient battery box. I'm 6'4" and have no problem with M37 pedals, you won't have any in the 715 either. They have a very stiff frame and won't flex the...

At speed on the road or highway they tow nicely. It's when you get into town or on a sharp slow turn, ususally from a stop, that the M37's I've towed will get the notion to go another direction. Just like Rosco stated, you'll know it right then and it's just a matter of stopping again and going...

Dueces and 5 Tons never seemed to be a problem. I'm 6'4" and generally up close to sometimes just over 300 pounds. The trucks I had the most difficulty with are the Dodge M37/M43 trucks. I found by increasing the seat bottom height and making the seat back very thin but still comfortable I was...
