Well its time to make a post.
[FONT=&quot]Well some of you know I have taken my m37 back apart to “rework” it lol I call it that because it is not a all stock rebuild. Well here are some of the pix and you can ask questions on what you want to know lol. [/FONT]the underside and firewall of the cab was sprayed with a sound dampener to quiet the ride dow. the motor was repainted. the air cleaner was replaced with one designed for a snorkel. and everything was resealed and all fluades replaced. [FONT=&quot] ALL new wiring witch is wrapped in a wire coating to protect it. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]You know people think that but it rains year round here and without a shop big enough to put it in there are MANY days I cant get anything done. [/FONT]

You cant use that excuse, I have offered you my shop several times. Its even airconditioned.
I have no problem moving the 109 outside when you want to work on it.

Besides I think you may be right to leave the M37 at home, I would hate to see you stuck in the mud, AGAIN

Hi,

Nice job, I really like your choice of motor!! (Polyhead 318 ) Looks great!

Weiand has started producing an aluminum four barrel intake manifold again for it. TTI makes headers for the Polyhead too, but cast manifolds are just fine for your app.

[FONT=&quot]Oh ya it’s a great motor. The truck has never left me wanting I have driven it 2 hours to ritchlome and 8houres on trails and 2 hours home with the truck smiling ALL the way. It cruses at 60 comfortably and roars like a tiger. [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]when i first got the motor it had 3 bent rods and bad sparkplugs/wires but it still started and ran (it didn’t run good but it ran). [/FONT]

Hehe, I think I saw both of those trucks at the end of my tow strap before!!!!!

As for weather, 250 days a year the temps are above 90 as is the humidity. Just sucks here most of the year. When I lived in OH I complained about how cold wrenches get in the winter. Let me tell you something, it doesn't compare to how hot they get in the sun. Can you say blistering?

Bubba, your 'before' pics look better than the "restored" M37 I bought a few weeks ago!

One thing I need to do is pull the bed and repaint - so, whats involved in pulling the bed off?
