Removing an M37 PTO from the transmission but running into clearance issues with the frame and sheet metal to get if off the mounting studs. Suggestions on how to do this without pulling the whole engine/transmission assembly?

With the PTO attachment there is very little access to disconnect the clutch linkage inside the frame rail. I'll likely pull the whole clutch/brake pedal shaft assembly from the outside of the frame rail after disconnecting what I can from the other side.

Anyone know the clutch linkage disconnects? It's a tad hard for me to see.

Anyone know how to remove the transmission boot from the trans tunnel?

In the garage working on the tear down.

Really nice resto thread, keep it up.

Ditto.
From what I've seen the repo parts look like the best bet unless you come across NOS/take off at a good price.

Drat, 4/6 wheels are structurally corroded beyond repair. outer rings and inner rim are rusted all the way through. It's unfortunate they were left unprotected in the elements for so long.

Looks like I'm in for building a harness by hand. I've done so before on a '67 Plymouth GTX. The M37 is comparatively simple.
Ug, new harnesses are $1000 - Ridiculous.

Looks like my wiring harness is going to need replacement or significant repair. VPW/Midwest or other less costly options?

Looks good. How much did the canvas cost ya?

Look for combat wheel studs on this page.
