There is also a plug with a cap I noticed outside by the wheel arch. That would be the slave receptacle that you would use to attach a slave cable (GI Jumper cable) to slave the truck to another unit or to a generator. Since the truck uses so much battery power for the radios and the original Korea...

Mine were so rusty I had to use the cutoff wheel to get them apart and the drivers side was so gone there was no bolt left. So, I'd have to buy new or good used or change the system and that's where I'm at.

Hard to tell without seeing them both up close and in person, but doesn't the modern one have a much smaller range of motion than the stock mount? That's a good question. I don't need to worry about the brake peddle because I'm converting to hanging peddles with the MC all attached to the body. My ...

Hello All, I'm giving thought to updating the cab mounting points on my M37. The springs on the end of the bolt set up seams, well, weird to me. The original system looked like this. http://leathernaturally.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/oldmounts.jpg What do you all think about going to something l...

Well, life has been super busy lately and we've gone from stinking hot, to lots of rain to finally had a day where I didn't have to drive a family member to a doctor’s appointment and didn't have to work on other projects and could get a good six hours in the garage, so I decided I've had enough of ...

Since I've gone about as far as I can on the frame less motor, transmission and transfer case for now, I decided to start working on the cab. Though the cab has been sandblasted the windshield frame has not and it needed some work. I took it all apart and did a little metal working to fix the issues...

I'm making a little progress on the frame. I got the primary fuel filter installed as well at the fuel pump. (Fuel pump is a 24V with the correct gpm to fuel a GM Diesel. I also installed the main fuel line as well as the fuel return line. I also got the rear wiring harness and tail lights installed...

Well, a quick update on the engine. As part of this project I am putting a GM diesel in like that of a HMMWV. When I started this project I picked up a 6.2 out of a CUCV that had been a forestry service truck that had rolled down a hill while the engine was running. They guy I got it from told me th...

Well, I finally got back out to the garage for 2024. I decided to start working on the "craigslist" engine rebuild. Got the engine dug out of the rear of the garage and then I got it mounted to the engine stand. I wanted to check to make sure it was mounted correctly so I went to turn the ...

Gee so is mine. I'm thinking of doing some sort of upgrade to a more modern window. If anyone has any info to pass along that would be helpful.

Bert, I was thinking of that, but I also saw where the tank needed to not have that so the sender would ground properly. I suppose I could put the material on the strapping and then run a ground wire to the sender. Something to think about over the winter months.
Thanks.

There has been some talk over the past few years of what to do for a replacement tank for your M37 is yours is missing, turned to dust, or is just so rusted your fuel filter gets clogged in less than 1 second. It would be nice if there was an after market tank out there that wasn't $800.00 but somew...

I finally have some time to post and update. Now that the warm weather has flown south for the winter the truck is going to be tucked away in the garage. I may if we get any mild days go out and tinker here and there, but the majority of my work especially painting is done till next spring. I got th...

Haven had much time to get anything major done on the truck. Been doing little things. I've also been doing little things that are part of bigger things but haven't gotten all the little things together to post about the big things...if that makes any sense. Anyway, I wanted to post a little update....

Okay folks here's the latest. Finally have gotten some time to spend in the garage again. I wanted to get back to it sooner, but just one thing after another has kept me busy doing other things. So, last fall I had rebuilt the rear axle with new inner and outer bearings, new seals and did a rear dis...
