I read somewhere that you should check the accelerator pump spring. It seems some rebuild kits could have the incorrect spring. This incorrect spring could be to stiff.

paint and primer

I was thinking of the DP40 also. Or Super KoroponĀ® primer. We use the super koropon at work a lot. It's good stuff for aluminum. It supost to work for steel. I just haven't use it much for steel. Any sugestions for a good self etching primer? Has anyone used the Picklex for preping the bare metal?

Snow

Try and push that snow all the way here. Since we are having one of the warmest winters on record and the olympics are in town in a few days we could use it. The organizers are truckng and moving by helicopter snow to the hill for the olympics right now. Maybe you could sell it by the pound. :D

I think I'm the guy from Canada. I pulled what ever parts I could in the time I was there. They said they had asked around and had several folks come buy and look. Several low balled the price or only wanted some stuff. When I left there there was a complete (-Windshield frame) M-37 and a complete M...

It was saved! Someone is thinking of restorig it. I believe it is realy bad to scrap some of these great trucks. Even if you have to part them out to keep others rolling is OK. But to just scrap :(

Someone needs to save this

I don't know the person selling this. But if someone is in the area and can save this that would be great. Or try to get it in the registry. If this post needs to be moved, please do.

Looks good. Nice to see another CDN M-37. I could use the engine for mine. Mine needs to be rebuilt and my spare also needs to be rebuilt. I was going to combine the two of them. If yours is a runner than that would get me back on the road for now. Drop me a line and let me know how much and stuff. ...
