I used around 500 feet for the front and rear harnesses and the dash ... laid out the old harness on the shop floor and went from there.. I also included wire and connectors for turn signals in the harness even though my 53 did not have signals .. it may be a future project and for the little...
More Progress
Took my second spin yesterday afternoon as the weather warmed up to a balmy 40* and noticed during my short but sweet run that the temp gauge was pushing 200* .. thought Ummmm should be at 160.
Pulled her into the shop and puled the thermostat .. NOS from Dodge Power Wagon that...
Project Update
Baby has a new pair of shoes :D
Finished priming and painting my wheels Wed... Installed new liners and tubes and then took 5 tires and wheels over to the local TA Truck stop and installed the tires... they have a cage and I felt better about using that to seat the new...
Have to agree with VTDD .. it will land up bitting you in the a$$ ..I Just built a complete harness for my 53 M37 (No signals) and it was less that $400 total. Wire ends and Hypalon wire (The original type) are available and if you can solder and crimp, its a verydoable project. If the wire is...
Reminds me of "Papa-Bears" pup "Bear" .. That pup will climb into or onto any vehicle regardless of the amount of room as long as "Papa" is driving it. Skid-Loader, Backhoe, Golf Cart, Gun-Truck :-)
Weekly Update
Brakes rebuilt and bled and seals replaced... used a neat little bleeder kit that I picked up at O’Riley Auto... kit with all kinds of goodies, adapters, fittings hoses etc. Just attached it to the bleeder and pulled vacuum until all the air was bled out. Brakes are firm and...
M37 Update
M37 Update: Heater rebuilt and reinstalled (Yes, I painted everything behind before I installed) to include the original rebuilt fan control switch and a new 24V blower motor (Napa). Dash panel completed (Oops, Need to remove tape from the gauges) to include all new wiring harness...
I too, would like to install the slave cable assembly onto my M37 .. I have the spacer .. just need the slave cable assembly with or without cables .. can anyone tell me where they found / purchased theirs? already checked with John at Midwest he has none available .. Thanks
Gutted the dashboard wire the last couple of days .. rebuilt my own harness for the Circuit breakers and cleaned all those connectors before reinstalling.
I actually wired up two separate leads with Parker connectors off of the 2 circuit breakers that are not in current use on the truck ...
Thanks for the confirmation on the 85 lead .. I actually wired up two separate leads with Parker connectors off of the 2 circuit breakers that are not in current use on the truck .. one of them is going to be used for the original spotlight and stand that is being mounted on the driver side...
Doing the same thing with my 53 .. just finished rebuilding the dash harness (10 guage wire) for the circuit breakers as the original wire was very crumbly .. installed a new spider harness on my gauge panel and am about finished with the dash ... ignition switch was in good shape and works as...
ALCON: Yes I am fabbing a rear harness .. already laid it out regards wire length and configuration, and am in the process of soldering and crimping on all of my wire ends ... have completed the rebuild on all of my Auto-Lite lights both front and rear to include my trailer lights .. found a...
RBOLTZ ..Good copy .. several vendors carry the wire .. and your right you have to purchase lorge amounts before they will let you order, DuPont, who makes Hypalon, announced that the were no longer goint to produce it after 2011 .. so I imagine it will become scarce after a time ..
Looking to purchase some of the original type wire used on the M37 wire harness .. wire is insulated by DuPont Hypalon and has a rubbery cover .. has anyone else found a source for this wire or a similar type? I am looking for 250 feet.
Thank You
OF, let me clarify, I too have that porous fiber filter element in both the tank and firewall filter ... same shape on both but slightly different internal mounting hardware as the tank filter is designed to accommodate the fuel-line pick-up.. the copper disk filter you describe is similar to...
