I know Steve took over for his dad.I don't have contact no. With that I don't know what the new name is either. Boy I'm just loaded with all kinds of info, too bad it's not helpful. I'll do a little digging and see what I could find.

Hello Bob
you do provide a very good point. I wonder if the all 12v conversions that we hear about were looked at in the way you mentioned. Keep up the good work Bob.

One thing comes to mind when I read this, did you leave the distributor vent lines in place? If not you could of cooked the coil and or condenser. Back when I was having the stalling issue, At first I thought I was out of gas, putting in five gallons didn't help. Reading other postings with this pr...

Bob, I'm still in the outer space mode a bit here. I didn't think about it until after I posted the last reply. My M37 when I got it had most of the fording parts on it, Air cleaner and pull out lever with valves. I think the cap was on there, can't recall if I did swap it out with a better one. The...

Thanks for jumping in Bob. I didn't have a photo. The cap on my M37 may not be the original. You gave a much better description than I did. I was a bit in outer space. I hope the photos and description helped. the other reply about the over heating issue is something to look into.

Look at you gas cap. It has a valve in it. It will say, open --- closed. When the vehicle is to go fording, the valve on the inside of the gas cap has to be set to closed, after fording it has to be set to open. If not the motor will only run a short while, it will pull a vacuum in the fuel lines an...

Take note as to the star location. I was told it was that far forward to allow it to be seen with the windshield ...

I have a 54 M37CDN, and this had me wondering. Is the hood different? There are several items that you could see that gives the M37CDN away. The more forward mounting holes for the motor, the exhaust pipe,and the radiator location. My M37CDN came with a civy carb. So I couldn't comment on the air cl...

I really can't see the need to have a gasket in this location. The vehicles aren't the most weather tight. As previously mentioned, the floor area doesn't have any gaskets to prevent water from entering.
Maybe a rubber washer on the inside, like is used on electrical fittings.

I had a similar issue. The M would run for a while and just cut out like it had no gas. Like you said 30 to 40 minute and it would start up again. Just for S & Gs check your fuel cap and make sure it's not set for fording. That pulls a vacuum and keeps fuel from getting to the carb. That was my ...

This is why we have spray guns and paint.

I guess it has been a while , I can't recall how I reassembled my M's fenders.

I was thinking what IF. That's a big if. The M37CDN had more leafs? I looked at both M37s, the USA M37 a 51 has 11 and the 54 M37CDN also 11. OK that didn't help any but I tried.

Something to remember, if your main harness is shot, look at the wires from your headlight, blackout light, front marker lights, rear tail lights -- stop, and blackout, horn button. The front and rear harness has the connectors up to the point where your fixtures I mentioned go, then you need the wi...

Issue 1 if you like the voltmeter better, go with that. The voltmeter is what was installed. Issue 2. wire 27 feeds the circuit breaker, then from the circuit breaker to the spider harness. Issue 3. The dimmer, you should have will have two Douglas connectors fixed to the dimmer, one male and one fe...
