That's a good looking truck and reasonably priced.
However, I would urge you not to sell it.

Depending upon how far you are moving, try to find a volunteer to move it for free.
Same with the ignition/fuel problem. I'd bet there are other M37 owners nearby who would help.

I've decided to use these, but am dithering on where to mount them - optimum visibility vs risk of whacking them on a tree....
Any suggestions ?

For the rear I plan to use red mounted on the outboard side of the bumperettes.

I ordered a reproduction set of Warn M13 lockouts today and took a tailgate parts list to a metal supply house to get a price on the stuff I need to build the 708 tailgate.
Not looking forward to that.

Repaired about a dozen holes and a dent in this one.
Also ordered a set of reproduction Warn M13 lockouts for the front.

Well, I punted. After getting the headlight rim cleaned up to the extent I could, there was too much rust layering remaining that I couldn't dissolve. So, I tried some glass reinforced bondo reduced with extra styrene to make it flow better and am going with that.

Me too. After the air compressor bombed out, I was going to install new headlights instead of finishing the stripping of the rims, and my first impression was that the headlight rims were in better shape than I expected them to be with the exception of some minor rust. Yeah right. After stripping th...

Won't make Tuesday. Air compressor quit.

Not my favorite pastime. Going slow. Should have them ready to prime by Tuesday.

What is the best way to renew the black coating on these old plates ? I'm wondering if screen printing would be effective ? As an aside, note that the plate seems to be the old style with the tall 3/4 on the top line and with all upper case lettering, and also that on the second line the stamped 1 i...

I know the 708 is supposed to be based on the M53 chassis, so why does this dashboard plate say M37?
What is the best way to refurbish these plates?

Thanks.
His handle is similar but not identical to the one on my 37.
For the sake of consistency between the two, I think I'll just duplicate my 37.
I appreciate the help.

But I did find the towbar I built to pull my 37, 708, and 1955A T-Bird.

The one on my 37 looks factory, but may have been just very well done. It was on the truck when I got it in 1962. My 708 and two parts trucks don't have one.

Fusion will be OK. Paint and external shape of rocker are OK. Some internal attachments are ripped off. Body Shop quoted $748 for repair. I think I can do it myself for about $30. I did find four 37 tailgates (one was NOS), three doors, rear axles for the 708, a passenger running board, a complete s...
