Yes.....I realize that air cleaner was the same style as the 151, but that is what supposedly came on the '63 M38A1. The picture above is not of my truck, but it is a late model USMC version like mine. The rubber flex hose in that picture is much like what I've got at the moment, and it does...

I've got a '63 M38A1 that was part of the USMC contract. The air filter housing that is on this truck has a flat lid to it ( like the picture below ) , and a different outlet style than the earlier models. I am haveing trouble finding the correct hose to connect the air filter to the...

Do you know if they are building them with parts that can stand up to the bad fuel being sold today?

As long as I've owned my M37, I've always just locked / unlocked it by reaching in to the inside door handle through an unlatched driver side windshield pane. Most folks wouldn't think of folding the window out to access the cab....

So....I swapped in an NOS distributor with a Pertronix kit installed. Set the base timing at 10 degrees. The advance seems to spin up smoother than it did, and it runs well up until the point it starts popping. Pulling the choke out a bit seems to allow it to get past that point. Is there a...

Thanks for the thoughts. Timing was checked with a light against the marks on the front cover. It's set at the 5 deg mark at idle. How much total advance should I see and at what RPM? I'm wondering if my advance is working as it should. I do have a NOS distributor on hand that I think I'll...

Well....The M38A1 is back on the road finally! It's got a few glitches that still need to be ironed out, but I've got it back in hand with a rebuilt engine. I ended up taking it to Clark's in Cupertino....Bad, Bad, Bad choice of places to do the work. I'm hoping that the engine machine work...

Yep....It's a USMC, supposedly off of the base at Barstow. I think that we are the third owner if I'm not mistaken. It does have the limited slip differentials on both ends. Some things have gone missing over the years, but I've been trying to put it back as correct as possible. It's been...

Thanks for the reply. Any thoughts on someone local to do the work? I thought I had a guy up in Santa Rosa who was willing to take on the project, but he never got back to me about it. I've had a couple people recommend Clark's Machine Shop in Cupertino. They sound like a good source for the...

I've got a '64 M38A1 that is in pretty darn good shape.... except for the engine. It had low compression and smoked a fair amount, then an issue with the exhaust valve on the #4 cylinder had me take it off the road. At this point, I'm guessing that the engine needs to come out and get torn...

Thanks for the quick reply! It sure looks like a bigger tank in your picture. Guess it's easier to build a tank with square corners. The original retaining straps still worked alright with that?

That looks like a nice unit. Does it add any more fuel capacity? How about the drain port on the bottom rear of the original tank, does the VPW unit still have that port? My tank is starting to show some rust issues, and a few of the screws around the sending unit have rusted in place and...
