That 'Zig-Zag' link is what gives the G741 the gift of no 'bump steering'.

Re: Simple Paint Question
I've painted lots of MV's over the years (since 1970), trying all the usual suspects. This paint, that mix. Big trucks, little Jeeps, at least a dozen M37's. Rustoleum was one of the worst I ever shot. Ugh!. Ditzler, RM, Sherwin-Williams, all cost a LOT more than necessary and had NO advantage over ...

Re: looking to buy a 1960 M37
IF you can get it for $500, read on: My gosh, man, think! They are not making them anymore. If you drive it, it will eventually need some sheet metal fixin. Drive train fixin. What you get for the $$ is a vast storehouse of valuable parts for your project, even if this particular specimen never roll...

Re: I Think My Cock is Missing!! Yikes!!!
The early trucks were obsessed with the ability to ford. One of the things changed early on was THAT valve, as they went to gas caps with a selector in them for vented or non-vented.
That took care of the problem and no more use of THAT valve.
So keep calm and carry on.

Re: Where to buy Fuel Filter elements
If you mean the stacked captive brass discs, toss them in carb cleaner for a day or two.
That will clean it up, then into a beaker of Tarnex to brighten things. All without having to risk physically damaging the spacing.

Re: Windshield Wiper Operation Question
OK, you guys...follow the plumbing of the wiper system. The Vacuum initially comes from the intake manifold, and is then 'boosted' by the second section of the fuel pump. It will vary by engine load, and somewhat be compensated by the mechanical pump. All in all, you know how it performs. Not too we...

Re: Anybody Out There Making Their Own Wiring Harnesses ??
Making them yourself can be rewarding & efficient, but it all depends on your expertise. Your choice of wire to use depends on several factors; Expected temperature range..the OZ military rubber wire can remain flexible at minus incredible temps. Otherwise, why bother. Overall diameter...if not ...

The bolt pattern on the 20" Dodge wrecker wheels will turn out to not fit the PW/M37 .

Re: Odd Rims on M37
They be 30's Ford AA truck wheels. The bolt pattern is correct but they are very narrow.
The ''40's GM 10-bolt wheel is sometimes found with every other hole enlarged for Budd nuts.

24-Volt lamps for sale.
I have several new 24-Volt sealed beam lamps in 4", 5", 7", and 8" sizes. From 50-Watt to 600-Watts. Just lamps, no housings. These are great for backup, spot, work flood, and killer driving lights. :twisted: Also a few type 353 lamps that can make your gauges readable at night, ...

This thread is very entertaining! Maybe we can have a show called "Dancing With the Mechanics".
Variable opinions and theories abound with trucks never sold with a MSO and not supported by the usual parts houses.
All hail the G-series trucks.....

Most failures are indeed in the rear shafts. The Tractas in the front are pretty robust, and I've never had one fail in 35 years of driving M37's. I have seen several trucks with torn floors due to drive shafts coming loose, but that is always due to the four cap screws coming out. They will not sta...
