Hey all,
That's my 52 M37 in the new registry ! Pulled it out of a shed in Neberaska. No batterys but got it started by pulling, with a fuel can on the hood. Runs well, good oil pressure and amp gauge shows chargeing. Not my first go with old trucks had a 54 ford f1 and a 41 ford 1.5 tonner I rebuilt in the past. This trucks appears to have a rebuilt engine (it's painted blue) It looks like it is set up to be able to ford as well... The top looks like it was fabbed or it had a hard top that someone welded down.... Came with a number of spare parts new wires, elec wiper motors, new mech fuel pump and new elec f/p, 2 ne w tires, coil, regulator etc. etc.... The first question I have is correct 12 volt batterys to fit in original box. If someone could help me with a number it would be appreciated..
Thanks

Update:
Thanks for the warm welcomes! Installed new batterys. Pushed the go button and she pops right off! up and down the long drive through the gears. 4wd lo\hi seem to work AOK. lights AOK. No brakes, vacuam leak at the pass side wiper, and running fuel from a jerry can in the holder but other than everything seems great! pics to follow!
Be well!'
