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 ...

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?

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.

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...

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.

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...

Yeah, that sounds like pretty normal stuff. Thanks...

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?

Yeah, post pics...

The chassis swap is looking good so far. The Chevy floor looks good in the M37 cab.
I think I finally figured out how to resize my photos. Thanks Gary.

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.

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...

Has anyone else changed out the speedometer (with new) to keep track of the miles? I'm keeping the old one for the 'nostalgia box'. Or am I just crazy in buying a 73 year old truck. Then spending time and money on it. I'm not sure at this point. I certainly am enjoying it so far! I'm doing a body s...
