Just got a parts truck. Is it to good to disassemble?

Morning everyone, I recently purchased a 1953 Air Force M37 as a parts truck. It has been sitting behind a friends house for about 30 years. My plan was to pull a bunch of parts to keep as spares for my primary M37, and sell or scrap what ever was left. After I cleaned up the truck and got a good lo...

Re: Why can't I get the timing advanced far enough?

I tried adjusting it using both slots. At the moment it is not the slot that is limiting movement. The distributor housing is making contact with the hard line that runs up to the oil filter, and that prevents me from rotating it any further in the counter clockwise direction.

Why can't I get the timing advanced far enough?

I am trying to get the timing set on my '62 M-37, but can't advance the distributor any further because it is hitting the oil tube. I am still running the 24V waterproof system. I thought maybe someone had installed the oil pump wrong, but I pulled and reinstalled it per the TM without seeing any im...

Re: Just got a M37 and I have a few questions

I got a nice early Christmas present today. The state of Mississippi was good enough to issue me the first title my truck has ever had. Not only was the title no big deal but for just $25 more I got an antique plate that is good forever. I know MS is not great at everything but they have the DMV fig...

M37 Exhaust Manifold needed

Hay,

Does anyone have an exhaust manifold for the 230 engine they could part with? The one one my truck is broken all the way around at the 6th runner.

Thanks,

Jon

Just got a M37 and I have a few questions

Greetings all, After many years of wanting one I final got my first MV. It is a 1962 M37B1. It originally had a winch but it is missing now. I haven't started sanding the hood yet, but I can just make out a faint US Army. I did manage to uncover some bumper numbers. The passenger side bumper says 41...
