He pays for the gas...

Kinda' reminds one of that old joke, "He works all day at the gas station pumping Ethel".

I'll have to take some pix and post them here. Once the simple mod is done, it is really easy to get in & out. DG

A bed mounted spare sux. You'll only have a flat when it is full of firewood or some such. The door rack is really cool, and I can show you how to make it work easily. Besides, it will deter any road rage idiots from reaching over it. Just open the door and push...

Ditch the ugly angle-irons atop the winch. Cut a piece of 3/16 Alum diamond plate to just fit on top of the winch. Paint, drill, & bolt on. Does the strength needs, and gives you a place to stand when checking yer oil.

All the fun with the stuff, and no reveille or saluting! So there...

A Harbor Freight engine hoist to lift one side and block it up, then repeat with the other side, lessens the the use of a big ass and grunting. Works for me, lol.

My retired weapons test engineer buddy was impressed when I told him about your truck. He said "So somebody finally found one of those old Peroxide rigs". "The one we had at March was repurposed as a crane truck to move stuff around after the Redstone was retired". "Can't be too many left". DG

My tire guy Steve sells for Southern Tire Mart at attractive rates. He has supplied me with 20" tubes & flaps for everything up to 14.00-20's. They also supply tire tools for doing lockring (split-rim, the wrong name anyway) wheels. Can ship those items needed anywhere in the USA...

Buy the right tools and learn to do your own lock-ring wheels. Not rocket science, just good aim with the duckbill and know where to hit it. Then pry it apart. Be ready to sweat and grunt a lot, but it is SO satisfying to get it done. DG

Originally they had a vacuum booster built into the fuel pump to lessen the effect. DDG

Beadblast all, paint and save all the good ones. Get a set of NF taps and do ALL the threaded holes in the truck before reassembly. The worst are usually those holding down the floor pan over the transmission. Dodge didn't do squat to prevent rust on these trucks, so it is up to you later...

Those are LAV tires. Very nice, but rare today. I hope they are worth saving. PM me if you want to put a 100A alternator back in. Dennis

The hole plug between the throttle and choke was for the deleted fording control. DG

Rust there is common problem in those Dodges. I had to fix that once, so I sandblasted off all the rust (top & bottom). Then I built it up with a fiberglass kit. It lasted over 35 years I know of. No more rust... Sourcing and replacing the cowl is a lot more work in my opinion. DG

Yes, a right proper truck. We need to see under the hood now. Ken, I have some stock of M37 parts, let me know as you get into the rebuild. DDG
