Re: Electric Power

Its a nice idea but from what I've seen they are used on lightweight vehicles. I think the M37 might be a bit heavy for an EV conversion.

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

Still waiting to hear anything. I don't think anyone that would know about selling it has done anything about it. Small town, things move slow, low priority thing to deal with.

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

I live in MA. Pretty sure that the town owns it outright just taking awhile to track down all the people connected to it because I'm never really around town.

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

Thanks for the info Pyro. Going to remove them if I get the truck but still wanted to know what they were.

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

I'm hoping that the truck is owned outright by the town and that a bidding process won't be required since that will be more of a hassle than I'd like to deal with to get the truck. As for my intentions for the truck they are to fix/upgrade it and bring it along when I move to a warmer climate for w...

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

The RMV certainly is a pain in this state! I've had issues with their inspection rules before...I think I can get the truck relatively cheap since I don't think it will be up to him entirely to decide a sell price. This is also such a small town everyone knows everyone else and has been around for g...

Re: Mystery part on M37 brush truck

Still working on getting it. Problem has been that I'm never in town so I've been going through a friend that works for the town to see about selling it to me since they have completely forgotten they put it in the barn. Waiting for the fire chief to OK the sale of it and I think he will since he is...

Mystery part on M37 brush truck

Been trying to figure out what the heck these things are on the truck. One on each side and the piping seems to run back through the firewall but I don't know to where exactly. http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww307/Deucalion_21/Truck/Mysterypart2.jpg http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww307/Deuca...

Re: Cost of power steering conversion?

Should run fine once the batteries get put back in and some fresh fuel gets flowing through. Found some tires and rims that were 44x16 that would fit and make it a true beast! First order of business is strip the paint and any rust off it and get a new paint job.

Here's a picture of the beast as it sits now. That armor on the front actually goes back along the fenders and running boards :mrgreen:

Re: Cost of power steering conversion?

It is the same Deucalion son of Prometheus and also comes from Dean Koontz's Frankenstein novels. I named my dog Deucalion hence the screenname. I actually live in Western Mass around the Deerfield/Northampton area. I'm hoping to fix up/upgrade the truck to bring with me when I get around to moving ...

Cost of power steering conversion?

New to the site since I will be acquiring an M37 that used to be one of the brush trucks in my town and I was wondering what the total cost has been to do the power steering upgrade for some of you folks?
