Re: M37 Bed Question

Bob I need to clarify my terminology.what I called the bed is actually a box assembly and I apologize for that. Bruce is correct in the fact the original bed/floor of the box was a two piece welded bolt in part. I just sold a bed/floor reproduction that I bought from Vintage Power Wagon and it was a...

Re: Yes it can be done!

Good looking job!, I just want to warn you about installing the turbo on a 6.2 engine as the 6.5 has lower compression. In 1996 I worked at a Chevy dealer and we had a customer that installed a new 6.2 and a turbo from the newer at that time 6.5 that engine and two more only ran for just over 100 mi...

Re: Fender alignment

You might try and loosen all of the bolts that are holding the grill together then with a jack raise the left front corner and re tighten the bolts.
