Viewing this from the left coast, for what its worth. Not intending to cause hard feeling, but I am curious.
How much of this came about from people trying to game the system, by registering off road use only vehicles for on road unrestricted use?
I build all my harnesses' these days. They aren't that hard, but they are time consuming. I am a bit of a stickler on the quality of the harness, so that is why I do them myself.
I start with all the shells whether salvaged from harnesses' or "NOS" and tumble polish them. Then off to plating for...
^^^ This and the flat head Dodge family are "long rod" engines. They do not like higher RPMs. Confounding the issue, they are four main bearing engines, again frustrating RPMs.
Yes, you "could" make it breathe better by some mild porting and force feeding it. But in the long run that dog wont...
Thanks for the insight. I am the same way, ohh that's cool got to have it!
But being in the land of fruits and nuts (California) no sense even researching it now. Its a crime to display any weapon, fake, real or even a BB gun, even in your own yard unless they are painted one of the florescent...

But with "humor" in the title, Im not sure it can be called evidence...
Now I know what the term "up to my armpits in gators" means, LOL. Keeping me busy sorting them out and getting them ready to sell off. Thanks to member "florty" for helping out with some parts (great guy to work with). Still looking for some parts, particularly would like to find some of the...
A good weekend! Got all the Gators rounded up and brought home. Got all but one fired up, The last one had a stuck engine, but it came loose with some work and cranks over, haven't started it yet as the fuel tank and hoses were out and in the bed. Two different VIN types, one starts with MOM the...
PM sent, thanks.
I think I'll sell a couple of these off, I only need one, so only need one front tray. Looks like for a touch over 1,000 dollars (each) they can be treated to a full service, new battery, new tires all around and new plastic to freshen them up.
M-gators are new to me. But a few just fell into my lap so I'll fool with them. In less than an hour I had three up and running. Another was missing enough pieces that I just rendered it for parts.
I am looking for the front tray or rack or whatever it is called if anyone has an extra.
You didn't say if your truck got converted to 12V along the way.
In addition to a good ground at the tank sending unit (I run a separate bare braided jumper from the sending unit to the frame, using internal star lock washers), The instrument panel must have a really good ground, otherwise all...
Yep, those are on M37s that have turn signals installed. Without T/S the blackout brake light is in the Right hand tail light assembly. Turn signals needed the large red glass lens for the right, so they use the same light assembly for right and left and the B/O stop light got divorced and set...
Civilian Power Wagons like the B2 and W300 of the later years (57 to end of production in '72) use a drop in replacement that is a 12 V version. Foot start and all, if that is what you are looking for. There is also a version for key start, but while I
have the starters, I don't know exactly...
