I'm glad to hear you got it to a place where you can work on it. Clutches can be the great unknown on a new to you vehicle. When all is done, stay on top of the clutch adjustment with the correct amount of free play. Don't let anyone who drives it slip the clutch instead of selecting the...

I think it is a Detroit Locker that makes a Audible clicking noise upon turning a corner.

You would be better to have a good credit card and a phone to look up big truck towing services. From my experience, you may wait a long time for a road service outfit. Flats can be done by a tire business with a mobile unit. just my 2 cents worth.

I does happen, more pressure when applying brakes overcomes the restriction. I've had it happen on 2 different vehicles. TomC

Good photos of kitchen truck awnings in "Army Food and Messing" book. Pretty complete write-up on truck and equipment. Amazon usually has copies.

Don't overlook the water distribution tube . Replace it if needed.

Also check ignition timing. Check for dragging brakes and that parking brake is off.

Oh for a manual transmission. That sort of problem shows how much support is available on this site! TomC

The clutch disk may have shed the lining and wedded up. I've seen that happen. Best pull the clutch and replace parts. Don't forget the pilot bearing.

Normal procedure after clutch replacement is to adjust the freeplay. The operator's T.M. should have the procedure.

It's really worth your time to hunt down kits with the sheet metal cup that fits on the spring end. Wheel cylinders are much less leak prone with them. Try small independent auto parts places for some new old stock.

How did bleeding progress?

How does the air horn affect them?

Let us know how that goes. I am following your saga and happy it's not me doing it. best of luck on your project.

I would suggest looking into some propane heat. We have that and were fine. A camp stove is also handy for outages. You can then use a smaller generator to carry the basics. You can carry smaller ones to the repair shop. Just my suggestion..... TomC

That is a good looking truck. I am glad you have indoor storage for it.

That is a very nice M37! Best of luck with it.

Go underneath the truck and look at the f. driveshaft. Is it connected at both ends? Shake it and listen, feel for excess clunking. If all's well there, drive off pavement and engage the front axle. Try from a stop first and if no clattering or grinding, you should be good to go. Try not to...

You will have to take the top off the carb. Check the cup on the accelerator pump that it is not undersized for the hole it fits in. The accelerator pump is vacuum operated as I remember, that was long ago. There may be different holes for the linkage to obtain more volume, this is all inside...
