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...

Finally getting back into the garage so I hope to post some pics soon. Nothing major just finishing up the front axle rebuild before moving onto the next thing on the very very long list. Stay toon

There and different antenna section that thread into the Ab-15th. generally the MS-116, Ms-117- and MS- 118 sections are the most common ones out there. You can mix and match to get the length you need. If you search high and low you may find other sections like the Ms-121 and 122, but they are rare...

I've used the GI Speaker with new guts in it. If you can find a loud speaker like mentioned above like a used Radio Shack one or the Motorola as mentioned then you can put the guts from that speaker into the GI speaker and you're good to go.

I’m going to go with a modern look for the truck. Update on my garage door. With any luck I should be able to get back into the gara...

Well, I've been dead in the water so to speak since mid January. I went to close the garage door and the whole bottom rail cam off in my hand. It's a wood door and it separated from the rest of the door. With the help of my son-in-law I was able to get the door somewhat closed but haven't open it si...
