I have to agree with Charles on this one. I followed that truck when it was in progress and the author posted monthly articles. A lot of it was replacing stuff with civilian counterparts and shortcuts to get it ready for a parade or something. If anything it got me fired up to finish my truck. A better effort would be to publish a reference book on what the M37 should be like and what was original. The M38 guys just did that and the book is a wealth of technical stuff. Just my 2 cents...

Given the mechanical ability (particularly in diagnostics) of the average owner these days, perhaps a "Haynes" manual for the M37 would be a useful shop reference?

Thanks for vote Frank. It's not that any of us need the book, it is that we are curious to see what this hype is all about. We want to see for ourselves weather there is any value or entertainment in it. None of us are interested in throwing hard earned money at a book known to be less than hyped to be but we do want to take advantage of Larry's kind heart and read it for free for ourselves to satisfy our own curiosity.

Rick,

you are very correct. Ryan's M38 restoration guide book is miles ahead and it took Ryan along with about 8 of us helping 4 years to put it together and we are still aware it was always meant to be a work in progress as any resto guide should be and we accept all suggested improvements and work the needed updates and corrections into the next printing and provide update change sheets to current book owners. I would hope one day to see the guys that voice so often their wisdom on these pages to someday share that wealth of knowledge with folks using an accurate M37 resto guide as their voice.
