My modified 1962 M-37B1 Known as THE "M"

Post by adamkw12 »

I read the forum all the time and a lot of the modifications I did to my truck came from this site and the users that frequent it. I have owned my M-37 for over 3 1/2 years and thought I would finally post my progress of my project and get comments or suggestions for it. A little history first, I saw my first m37 at the power wagon rally in hollister and fell in love and knew I had to get one for myself. I found this one at a winery down the street in the napa valley and drug it to my uncle's shop to get it running. Filed the points and some fresh gas after 8 years, and she fired right up. The original plan was to leave it stock and fix it up, then it was to just put a v-8 in it with everything else original. Now it is long from being stock, but I am very happy with it and I am glad I went this way so far. It currently has a new dodge 360 out a motorhome, nv4500 trans, married twin stick np205 with an emergency disk brake setup, a custom centered rearend made from the original offset rearend, disk brakes in the front, locker in the rear, 4.89 gears, power brakes, modified swing pedals from ugly truckling, mu-2 winch with pto setup(work in progress), desert tan in color, bedliner inside the cab, and all sitting on new 11.00x16 xl tires. Once I figure out how to post pics I will, but here is my photo album for now.

Adam,

Your truck is looking good. I like the way these trucks look in desert tan. I use the pic gallery on this site, but the process is the same for any gallery. I first put all my pics in my album in the G741 gallery. Then when I'm doing a post I open up my gallery in another window. Then When I'm ready for a pic I click the "Img" button above where you enter the text. Then this will show up with the curser in between the Img's. Then switch to your gallery window, and open the pic you want. Then right click on your pic. Then click on properties in the drop down menu that shows up. In the properties window the URL will be listed. Highlight the URL and copy it(Ctrl+C). Then switch back to your posting window and insert(Ctrl+V) it between the Image. It sounds complicated at first but its pretty easy once you do it a time or to. You can also press the preview button to check yourself first.

Heres one of your pics

Good luck,

I like the color and can't wait to see more pictures of the truck as it goes back together.

On a side note it looks like you have a large vineyard on your property.
