I think the main thing that slowed me down was my thinking that if I put 37" tires and an overdrive trans in it would like highway speeds- it did not. The new owner has already contacted Charles and is shipping the differentials for regear. He really likes the truck and of that I am happy. I st...

Well folks, I sold my M37. After I just about finished everything, I just lost the intensity of it all. I am happy with what I sold it for. Sold it to a younger guy who really likes it, so that is good. It is amazing all of the stuff for this truck I have collected over the years (27) . I have reall...

Thanks

I am ready to install the lower door weatherstrip to the cab. My question is-- does the rubber weatherstrip sit above the retainer or below it? I have seen pics in the various manuals with both configurations used. I think mine was installed up, but the door has a spot in it that looks like it shoul...

I just heard that there is a new law in effect, and MV owners that have had their trucks legally titled- are getting letters from the DMV revoking their titles and replaceing them with some sort of "off road only title". Any body up there had this done to them yet? Supposedly the writers o...

If you pair that V8 with an overdrive trans, it will help a lot. Check with Charles at M series rebuild on the strength of these differentials, they are plenty strong if set up correctly.

I thought our trucks were illegal in CA! No cats, no egr, they don't get at least 20mpg- you will be shot on sight!

My '54 has a rebuilt(Lares) saginaw ps box (from a "77 W200), and a power steering pump that is a 2014 hemi item (have a 5.7 in truck). I am using ATF-4 for the fluid. The pump is new. I am having loss of power steering at speed (35) and when coming to a stop. At idle it seems to work just fine...

Truly amazing work. I beat on my original tailgate for days to try and get it to look good (and semi straight), still looks like it was run over by a tank- new paint does help a lot. Replacement tailgates would be welcomed, VPW sometimes have them-been out of them a while now. Again, that is a great...

Merry Christmas everyone! This is my first Christmas with my truck running!

I've had several made by the usual subjects. Not cheap, but you only buy it once.

Does this stuff look like canvas? Their website states a 5 year guarantee, hope my truck lasts longer than that.

I have a new canvas top and would like it to last a long time and resist the weather well. Is there a good treatment to use on it that works well?

What about the front wheels?

Vintage Power Wagons sells them.

Looking great! I'm curious: was there a problem with your old axles, or were you just worried about them for the future? with the 375 HP hemi I figured that I maybe needed something stronger, having heard so many stories of the oem ones breaking- with the stock driveline. Granted, I have heard of t...
