Sounds like its the parking brake dragging, that's my guess. Frank

Midwest Military or Vintage Power Wagons should have them. Frank

I used a Dodge 360 with a NV4500 transmission, 5 speed with overdrive. I kept the original brakes and added a booster. Brakes properly adjusted and with the booster will put you through the windshield if stomped on! Frank

Usually the ball for the gooseneck is slightly ahead of the rear axle. Frank

split with a razor blade and installed, did not try to glue back together. Frank

Never used LEDS. As to the pedal boots, I split mine. Frank

M37 didn't have a hydraulic clutch, strictly mechanical. Dot 3 is what you use in your setup. Frank

Well thought! Frank

No, I kept the 5.83s, however the NV4500 transmission has 5th speed overdrive and the tires are 38" tall. Cruise easily at 55 to 60, going faster is not comfortable in this vehicle. MPGs were never a concern, so I have no idea of my mileage.

The NP200 transfer case is not as weak as you may think, provided the lubricant level is maintained. MyPowerwagon and m37 used the stock transfer case. Power Wagon had a 440 engine, M37 had a 360 Dodge engine. Frank

Check out the m37 TMs that are at the top of the forum. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M37/TM9-1840A_engine_clutch.pdf

How are you checking TDC for number 1? You can't use the spark plug hole as it is not over the piston. Number six has a plug in the head that is over the piston that is used to find TDC. As stated above number 6 and number 1 are in the same plane as determined by the crankshaft. Frank

The track width is narrower on the M37 (62" vs 64.5) so the axle lengths are different than the PW.

Nice find, a good start for restoration! Frank

It appears to me that the pivot bracket is missing or broken off. The welded bracket on your floor pan tunnel was made to replace the missing pivot. Frank

Crawl under the truck, the lever attaches to shift rail on the pto and pivots on a bracket on the rear of the pto. Frank
