Haven't had time to take any good pictures yet...but for now, here's the new tires!

I think fixing my fuel gauge is next...

A couple more shots on my M-37 with the new tires. Also added two new red reflectors to the rear tailgate today, it really needed them to brighten up the rear at night time.
The tires are 9.00x16 Power King Super Traction. Very happy with them so far.
Did some testing, confirmed my blower motor for the heater is dead.

Also included a shot of the new carb set up now that the air cleaner is back on. I removed all the vent lines from the air cleaner (they were all cut anyhow) and plugged them with brass plugs.

Took her out 4-wheeling for the first time today, went great! Can't stop smiling. Only issue that arose, was that after going through DEEP water, the fan belt slips and causes the truck temperature to raise up to about 230 from the usual 180. After a 5 minute cool down it goes back to a steady 180.

Do you gentlemen think that changing to a 6 blade fan from my 4 blade will help with cooling/increase horsepower at all?

Belt'd still slip when wet.

Yeah I gotta put on a smaller belt, it's on my list of things to do!

Any thoughts on the fan blade?

Been a little while since my last update! I've been driving her around on weekends, getting a lot of drive time locally. Last week, brought it up to my friend's shop, and the body work has begun!

Tons of holes in the driver's side of the bed, I had him patch them all up except for the antenna mount.
This truck had a lot of bodywork done in the past...bunch of bondo on the cowel.

Searching for a new windshield this week...mine is going to take a bunch of work to get up to speed.

Going to be primed and sealed, money being saved for paint!
My canvas roof has been ordered from New Life Canvas, should be here in a few weeks!

I have an M37 outer windshield that is slightly bent but could be easily straightened. Unfortunately I am in hospital right now with AML Leukemia so if you are in a hurry I can't help you. PM off line. Shipping would be an issue unless you are coming close to Charlotte, NC some time and want to take a 45 minute side trip from there.

Do you remember where you got you temp sender for that motor? thanks

It actually came with the speedway wiring harness which I installed...just happened to work correctly.

Now that you mention it, I've never actually seen a part # for one, always just looked up a sender for a chrysler 230 and grabbed what they had!

Thanks

Got a couple of pictures today...went up to drop off the new windshield hardware I got from MWM.

The hood and the doors are complete, they came out like glass! Can't wait to see it done.

 

[gabby4244]

That's looking good !!

Been awhile since the last post! Got the truck back from the body shop. Turned out great...still some things here and there to do (tailgate needs major help), also my new windshield frame is not on the truck yet. Ordered two NOS windshield assemblys from a supplier...one showed up cracked, and the seller said "not our fault wasnt cracked when we shipped it, file a claim." Won't be doing business there again. So I sit waiting to hear from UPS.

So for now...the new windshield sits in my bud's garage till that's sorted out.

New top from New Life Canvas arrived, fits GREAT...cant say enough about its quality!

Will post better pictures later on tonight. ALSO, got my first two cruise nights in this weekend! Finally!
