Re: Colorado Prohibits Military Vehicles on Hwy

Time to form a group, hire an attorney and take them to court, maybe an ex post facto case. The WW2 Jeep guys will be a good source of 'heft'. PoW Might be fun to travel as a group with out of state plates through Colorado. Mine is still in the process of a chassis swap to have newer running gear b...

Re: body mount questions

Thanks... That pic of the bottom mount for the radiator support made it much more clear. Exactly what I needed on that mount. And the pic of the radiator attachment to the support actually gave me some information I didn't realize I needed, so thanks for that too. If anyone wants to chime in with a ...

Re: body mount questions

Then where does the U/V/W bolt/washer go to?

Isn't that going to mount the core support/U-channel to the frame?

Re: body mount questions

From that illustration it looks like the radiator core mounts directly to the frame without any rubber cushioning. I think I might change that as I put it together.

So the parts list beneath the other illustration for the cab mounts will come later?

Thanks again.

Re: body mount questions

I know there are two bolts on the bottom of the radiator core support which mount it to the frame, but are there any cushions involved? That's what I need, is the positioning of the proper rubber parts and the bolts/washers involved. The picture is helpful. The image has a parts list below but it go...

body mount questions

My son-in-law came over and wanted something to do, and he likes wrenching, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use his muscle to remove the body from my M37. Of course he wasn't concerned at all about how things needed to go back together, so parts flew all over the place and now that I'm tryi...

Pretty sure those are just flat steel and could be welded or even bolted in using flat sheet stock.

I cut it up pretty badly. I wasn't expecting anyone to be interested. I might have the bolt-in plates that come out. Otherwise it's in pieces.

Re: How about a picture of YOUR M37 OR M43!!

Doing a chassis swap using a '78 Chevy 3/4 ton Camper Special. I'll be able to drive at highway speeds, have 37 gallons of gas, and have disc brakes. This is the cab with the Chevy floor in it. I'll be taking it in to the welding shop to get a professional to finish it up so I'm sure it's solid. M37...

Re: Rebuilt axles 13 Times !!!!

Well THAT's a LOT of miles on an M37. Regardless of being repowered. Are there any other parts that failed more than once? What parts are problems long term?

Re: The tale of three trucks...

The chassis swap is looking good so far. The Chevy floor looks good in the M37 cab.

Re: Pay it Forward....

I have a used starter motor that I suspect is good but has never been installed on anything I own. Free to good home, pick up only, on I-70 in the middle of Utah.

Re: The tale of three trucks...

I had a great day. Cutting and splicing the two cabs together for the body swap... and never really knowing if the vision was going to work as it seemed in my head. A week of work with no sure outcome... and the possibility of ruining the cab parts I need to have. But today it all came together. The...
