The tank come back from the Radiator Shop of coruse they had pained it with black Rad paint. I had to correct the issue with a rattle can. All the fuel lines and new hoses are hooked up. Now were ready for some brakes.

Found One Thanks!!

Are there any good used 3 prong Generator cables out there ? I ordered one from Vintage Power wagon and its about 3 feet longer then it should be. They tell me thats it. I would rather have one that looks like it belongs in the truck.

 

[Rusty1340]

Any Thoughts

In the drawing to the right Number 4 wire coming from the regulator to the starter is this wire also charging the batteries ?

 

[Rusty1340]

I pulled the rear wheels to do some brake work Rt side drum didnt have any of the screws in it the left side had 2 screws that almost fell out. Need to order some parts now

Did you try midwestmil for the gen cable? He has the best parts and knowledge for the m37 trucks. John seems to be a person who can come up with anything you can think of. If he doesnt have it or cant get it he can tell you who to talk to.

Yes I have the right length gen cable now and the regulator cable. I have a lot of wiring to do. So much going on at once a little wiring & some brake clean up. I will get some wheel cylinders

Sorry I've been away for awhile. As for the three prong cable, there are two different types. The original one is much longer than it needs to be. In later models they shortened it and it goes directly over to the generator. We had a long one at first, then got the shorter one with the kit from Midwest. As for the #4 wire, I can't help much there. John at Midwest Military is an absolute wealth of information. I can attest to that!

Wraping up the rear brakes, now its time for the front. I thinks its been sitting for some time now

 

[Rusty1340]

The front brakes are looking a little better after a few hours cleaning blasting and painting. Seals and cylinders are on the way

I was able to pick up a NOS under the dash harness goes from the head light switch to head light harness. Now I need to figure out how it all goes in. Sorta tough when the old one was removed prior to me owning the truck.

It is sorta tough when the old one is in as well. It is not like all the old headlight wires still are marked. I hooked mine to the switch then lined it up with some of the under dash wires. Once I was able to power it up I was able to go wire by wire with a test light and multimeter to figure out the rest.

Due to Illness may be forced to sell my project. Have not been able to work on it these last 6 months due to Chemo and Radiation.
