Hey Josh, Thanks for the interest! My son is really excited about the project. We have started laying out our plans and looks like a custom frame is the way to go. I have more pics but for SOME reason I can't put up anymore pics... I have been contacted buy a several people here that doesn't like th...

Hey guys, Well I have some updates... We took a ride up to Ed Andersen's place and my son bought another M37. It's in great shape and will coming apart soon. Now for the other update... We're not going to be using the frame from the M37 and we're not going to be using a late model frame... We're goi...

Thanks Bruce!
If I still have it I will consider it. I REALLY hope to have sold by then.

Hey guys, My son has a 4BT for sale. He was going to put it in his truck but has decided to go with a 6BT.He's asking $2500 for the 4BT. It has very few hrs on it. It's out of a zipper machine. The machine was used to put the zippers along the highway. I bought it from the guy that ran the machine. ...

OOPs sorry... Look in the pics section. My name is Randy Christman.

Creeping Death, Thanks for your input. I know it wont be an easy one but that's what makes it FUN... It will fit but like we have all said it will take some serious modifications. As far as the weight of the 6bt goes if you read all the posts you'll see that that isn't going to be a problem since we...

Hey guys, Josh thanks for the input! Good info and probably a great idea! However were going to be using the 6bt. My son really wants to put the 6 in so that's what were going to do. We have plenty of time and a full fab shop so why not. It should be a great learning opportunity for both of us. (goo...

Hey Ray, Good to hear about your project! I would love to see some pics as your project progresses. If you need any parts that I have your welcome to them. I imagine your not going to be using much from the old truck. Now as far as the frames go all my trucks are 1 tons but my last 3/4 ton had a ver...

Hey Guys,
Anybody have a rectangular window hard top for an M37? I have an oval window but need a rectangular window. I could also use a good bed. The box on my sons truck is in tough shape. It can be repaired but will take a lots of work!!!
Thanks,

The axles will be going along with the springs,steering and most everything else. We will be building 1 truck out of several. I plan on using late model axles with disc brakes on all 4 corners. This truck is being built for my son so safety is a huge concern.

Hey guys, Well, after alot of measuring and bouncing ideas off each other we have decided to use the m37 frame. I feel that we should be able to reinforce the frame to handle the torque that the 6er will make. I agree that the body of the 37 just wont look right on a later model frame. I'll keep ya ...

Thanks guys, Brett that's some good advice right there! That's exactly what we've been thinking about. I have been looking for a 1st gen for a while now. Comparing the frame of the "37" and any of other trucks it's easy to see that the frame is much weaker in the "37". My son wan...

Thanks Tom, I know that the 4BT is a nice little engine and it makes pretty good power. But my son wants to use a 6BT so were going with a 6er. This is not going to be restore more like a resto mod/hot rod. The truck probably will have a sled hooked to it a time or two but it will for sure have a he...
