    M37 Brake Relining

    I had my M37 brake shoes relined by Porterfield in California. They bonded and riveted the linings to the shoes. Give them a shout for your rivet needs. The R4-S lining material helps my M37 stop sooo nice. Much better than the woven asbestos (or whatever) material used on these parts. Their...

    Fuel tank missing

    Fill hose from truck filler to the gas tank. Check diameters, I had to go to the muffler shop for a steel piece that was the size of the truck metal filler to the tank filler diameter. I purchased the rubber gas hose that fit the gas tank on mine. On mine, I fab'd up two metal straps to bolt...

    M37 block

    I had a crack in the M37 230 engine exhaust manifold. These exhaust manifolds are expensive compared to the intake manifolds. Maybe because the exhaust manifolds are prone to cracking. My rebuild shop has an ultra fine metallic powder that has an iron and zinc compound. They welded the exhaust...

    When I purchased my M37, the original tank was not there. The truck had a rusty 12, yes, 12 gallon tank. I purchased and installed the S10 20 gallon tank. The factory tank was about 25 gallons. My cost delivered of the 20 gallon tank was about $110 3 years back. Fabbed up my straps and eye...

    I was contacted by Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort to show my M37 July 1-4. The event coordinator said my vehicle fit the bill for the new movie coming out next year. Nice to have the old girl become a star of the ballroom in the resort.

    Why so hard to shift gears

    X2 on the disc disintegrating. Buy the kit that includes the pressure plate, disc and throw out bearing. Your flywheel will most likely need to be resurfaced. Don't cut corners, do it correctly once. That way there is smooth clutch engagement and pedal feel. This jack worked great on the...

    Why so hard to shift gears

    When I purchased my '63 M37, it was a mish-mash of parts from other trucks. Mine had a crash box from a 1 ton Dodge in the truck. See photos with cutout in floor board and transmission. Yours should have the NP420 (New Process) which is synchro'd in 3rd and 4th gears. I have a pic of the NP420...

Attached is the Mobile 1 guide to oils and their respective additive levels. Safe levels of zinc for older...
