Code

hmm, never thought of that... could just bury the cable down a few inches, then yank it up when I'm ready to move so I dont get in trouble with the city or the inspectors... Code around here is 36" deep, plus PVC jacketing.... :roll: Why would you need to bury it 36 inches deep? I can see with...

Buy it...

As long as the purchase money isn't being taken away from something important, like bills, or a vacation, etc, I say buy it and let the wife get over it. I see so many posts like this where the wife MUST give her OK first. I can't live my life that way, and I don't expect my wife to either. We're al...

Side rails

John Bizal or AB Linn should have them. I'd suggest Sid beck, but he is OoB (out of business)!

Re: Data Plate Number Interpretation needed.

Good morning. Fairly new to the forum. I have bought a M-37 in near complete status and plan on starting a stock rebuild. Last night I was able to write down the numbers on the Data Plate and hope someone here can tell me something about it. There is a 'WW' in the right upper corner block. The Ord ...

Thanks. It is the top rails I need. Bow and rail supports are there. Anyone have any luck fabricating these as they seem pretty hard to come by and command a premium when they do show up. I guess it depends on where you're located as to availability. I almost always see a few at the local shows I g...

Tires

If you're willing to wait until May, the Aberdeen show should reveal somebody selling some tires cheaply.

Plug

Be careful though if buying a plug from a plumbing supply, etc, Most of those plugs you buy today are from offshore and although the plug may fit the threads, it may also be a loose fit, and able to thread in far enough to contact the flywheel. I almost made that mistake. I replaced the civy cover t...

Lifer's truck

Lifer; Sorry to hear that your truck is out of your hands. But, things must be reasoned through and if the truck had to go, it had to go, simple as that. You're lucky in that you can rest assured its going to a good home. When I sold my first M37( years ago bought it before I was really ready to get...

Seat bottom.

The seat bottom has a latch that attaches to the front of the seat frame that holds the seat down. It also has two metal pieces with holes in them that go over the two pins that protrude from the seat frame to keep it from moving. When I replaced my seat bottom I used a couple fender washers and dri...

My '54 (soon to be someone else's '54) appears to be something of an oddity as far as the door checks are concerned. The drive's side has one of the metal ones illustrated above. The passenger side, however, has canvas webbing secured at the ends with footman loops. There is no sign, either on the ...

Re: Okay...

... but as I understand the seat springs attach to a piece of wood that rests on top of all of that... I have drawings & pictures of the passenger side seat bottom if you are interested. I made my own from plywood. PM me & I'll email you what I can find. I still have my original seat bottom...

Good to hear that finally some level heads have prevailed. I wouldn't be too overly concerned about "restrictions" on driving in your state under the new MV plate. I'm sure your state it will be similar to ours here in Pa, whereas the law will more than likely be loosely enforced at best. ...

Sid Beck

If I may ask, how old is Sid? I never personally met the man, only dealt with him via email.
