    Dual wheels on a M37

    Old style combat rims on a trailer

    Be careful with combat rims on a civilian Power Wagon, (B1PW, W300M, WM300). The brake drums are different on the civilian model and my crack when the combat rims are mounted. Double check with Vintage Power Wagons in Iowa. Goo luck.

    Can towing with the rear driveshaft connected cause case or transmission failure?

    M37s and M43s have full floating rear ends. Pull the rear axles and cover the hub to keep the gear oil from leaking out. Disconnect the front drive shaft and you should be able to tow it.

    Dealing with a wreck

    Be proactive. See a doctor NOW to get a baseline assessment of your physical condition. Then keep a journal as others have stated to see how your injuries go. If an insurance adjuster calls, he will most likely ask you how you are. DON'T say fine. Ask who it is and who he is representing...

    Alas we must say goodbye to you Multifuel.

    I would bet on the International. Not only from a personal bias but, they have been around forever, parts are cheaper than a Cat and they are less susceptible to fuel contamination. Get a non eletronic version.

    Flathead fever..

    Very cool pictures. Keep them coming. I am working on a replacement engine for my 1967 Dodge WM300 Power Wagon. The original engine was junk and I found a 1942 251 industrial engine from a military Hobart welder. The cam and distributor will get changed but other than needing a valve...

    Good place to pick up a deuce.

    As a recent member, I am very interested in getting a deuce and a half. The locations closest to me to get on at a GL auction seem to be at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama or at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City. Can anyone share their experiences at either of those locations? Thanks,

    DT466 International swaps

    Has anyone considered swapping in a DT 466 International medioum duty truck engine? They are about the same cubic inches, build a lot of torque and can put out up to 350 horsepower in stock configuration. Plus, they have been around since at least 1984 so there should be good availability.
