Got the truck running! Yippee, yahoo!!! Now that that's out of my system... Manual choke cable had more wiggles than a belly dancer. Fortunately I have a brand new one. The automatic choke is fubared (I should have said that firstly). The wiring under the dash looks like one of those garter...

Looks like it was manufactured from 1957 thru 1967. It uses Champion RJ12YC. Still looking for a replacement fuel pump, tune up kit, probably water pump and maybe new belts.

Eureka I have found it! The number is on the front of the engine on the passenger side just below the head in really big numbers. According to the net source I found, it's number is 2468230, which indicates the motor is a 318 of the A family of MOPAR engines. Now to find the year codes so's I...

Bolts are down the middle of the valve covers.

I've got to dig into the truck and get more pics.

thank you! The distributor is on the back. Does that indicate it's 318 or something smaller?

Update: I spent the afternoon playing in the engine compartment and the battery box. The truck was converted to 12 volt. At first, the starter was disinclined to perform correctly. After repeated failed attempts for the starter to work, it fixed itself. The engine turns over nicely and I can get...

So far the only rust is in the back of the bed, looks like the last reinforcement underneath will have to be replaced.

Haven't got that far yet. The previous owner apparently used the truck for hunting and as a bug out vehicle in case of a zombie apocalypse. I've removed probably close to 1,000 pounds of stuff from the cab and tool box. I've still got to clear out the bed, which has 6 or so chained up water and...

Update: I've been looking all over the truck for evidence that this truck may be a M42. It is a 1952 truck. Is has data plates on the glove box but the only thing written on them is the trucks serial number. There are also three data plates around the steering wheel. There's a map light next to...

Sorry for the delay, it's been crazy with Cheyenne Frontier Days. It's over and now I can dig into the truck.

Got the truck home. One heck of a retrieval though. Very tight area. Very small "barn"! We arrived at the home of the owner thinking we'd be done fairly quickly. After all, it's just a matter of pulling it out and loading it up, right? Nope, not even close. It took almost an hour to maneuver the...

It has a door mounted spare. Not sure about the transmission tho.

Got a question, all the data plates are made of brass or a brass colored metal. Also, the data plate indicates the truck was built by Doge, a division of Chrysler. Not sure if this is a 1966. After checking several specimens on the web, I'm thinking maybe a mid fifties truck. As far as I can...

thank you, will do!

I found a M37, I think it's a M37B1. It's said to be a 1966 Fairly straight, has a winch, heater and trump seats. Top is in poor shape. Little to no rust. It has a couple "upgrades". One is a V8 engine and the other is power steering. We've already shaken hands on the deal, just waiting on the...
