I would agree with usmc. Have a 211 that put a 302 from a fire truck in it. Starts up, purrs like a kitten. Really you never know if was low compression. I could squeeze about 40-45 out of it. I used a cylinder leakage tester(you hook it to shop air and the other end goes in the spark plug hole...

So restoration starts now?

Well hopefully you can keep making progress on it. Restoring anything is a challenge and these big trucks are no exception. But they are a neat piece of history when conpleted

You should go open cab. Then youd be thw only canadian north of Edmonton that specifically sought out an open can deuce.

Are you still working on this?

I was looking around Jatonka and the heater pdf was there

I have some on my other computer. Will post a few one of these days

Looks good. Looking forward to some pictures of it coming back to life.

WW2 chevy, would that extension be very hard to replicate? Say for a winch truck that has been modified

Just out of curiosity what is a m37 long block worth if its old but runs-say if the genset was faulty?

Maybe bubba was ambitious that day. No one told him most people just reverse the way you drive it, that way the engine is behind you. If a person brought it home-do you think there would be any reason to save the frame? Ill get a few more pics and see if you guys know what the engine is.

Id say pretty close. The mfg date on the trailer is 56. But they probably spent their time together. So you think if its running and welding it'd be worth $500? Anything else that is common failure? Is the engine pretty durable? Is it the same as a m37 engine or just similiar?

The fella is retired air force and has a collection of junk that his dad aquired. He had it running a couple of years ago...you know how that story goes. It had the air horn off the carb. Didnt check if it was free. The radiator had some rust in it. Is it worth going through the motions with it...

Hey guys i was curious if anyone had experience with this model of welder and generator. Looks like its from the 50s. I have an opportunity to buy it and was curious if anyone knew any flaws with it, or things that typically need addressed it has a straight six flathead in it
