this is what I bought. The side mounting fins are slightly angled for some reason, I had a friend set them straight before I mounted it. Also had him rotate the lower fill slightly. But I have an LS. https://www.ebay.com/itm/151480765264

Champion makes a radiator for the Power Wagon that fits.

I know it's been discussed a lot, but I wanted to post a picture of it actually being done. This is the S10 tank posted about here. there is also an Econoline tank that doesn't have the corner cut off with a few more gallons - I'd have used that if I'd known. I modified the mount brackets but...

Thank you, that was not fun. Why bolt and weld it???

I'm in the middle of a '53 resto mod with LS3 and Tremec 4050. Using the original frame, there was no reason not to. Dana 60 in front, 15 bolt in rear, full four link front and rear.

I've got all the bolts out and I was hoping the wheel well would just come out, but it's not moving. Is there a way to get it out leaving the bed and side unmolested - short of cutting it out?

If i do that, it will be fight on top of the gas pedal (which will be higher than the stock one).

I bought the hanging pedal conversion bracket from Vintage Power Wagons. And now that I've got it in place, I'm confused (which is pretty typical for me). First, you can see in the picture where I marked with silver sharpie where the steering column wants to go. The brake pedal is bent to drop...

This is actually me testing back!!!

Testing

I tried to post on the M37 forum and it said I couldn't???

I'm keeping the frame and leaf springs, they will work just fine. Look at 6.0/4l80 and Dana 60's front and rear as the most robust and easiest to repair combination. This will live very remote and durability and ease of repair by the broadest range of people is a must.

Okay, let me try this. What is the best way to get rid of the entire drivetrain in one shot to someone who will make good use of it or part it out. Post classifieds here? Another site?

I acquired an M37 from Grants Pass Oregon (it was on Facebook Marketplace for a while). It was a fire truck and I'm going to return it to a fire truck again to be used at Rubicon Springs on the Rubicon Trail (just west of Lake Tahoe) So, the existing, largely original drivetrain radiator...
