M101 moved to M101a1 moved to M101a2 moved to M101a3. M116 is essentially a trailer chassis as used in a complete M101 series cargo trailer. The chassis could be used for flat beds or generator platforms just to name a few applications. Frequently the M116 has a cargo bed mounted and thusly...

Number 5 is most likely valves or a burned piston. Upper cylinder cleaner is most effective for gummed up rings, but can help with valves if they are just carbonized up and not seating all the way. Given the higher compressions at each end of the block, (the end cylinders tend to run a little...

Must have been quite a few 94th Aero Squadron restaurants around. There was one purpose built at Stapleton Air Port in Denver that we went to quite a bit in the early 70's. French Farm house style with an old WW1 looking truck out front parked next to a red triwing replica. There was a Spad that...

Our M220 keeps growing on me. I do wish some things were more available (like airpacks) and we were farther along with our van body restoration, but I keep telling myself we are lucky to have started off with something as complete as it was. Glad you decided to hang in there a while longer.

I wonder if there were differences in the #7 set over time. The unit I saw on GL had a bowed or hoop support at the rear of the bed and then the trolly rail was attached to the single hoop and traveled to a single post at the front of the bed.

Awsome videos. Last time I think I saw that shopping area (years back) it had a couple of tour busses parked with hords of German speaking tourists. They were lining up to buy brass items from India in a little gift shop there. Location, location, location!!! Not only are the tractors too cool...

delos, Last engine I had rebuilt cost me $1250. It was a Chevy V8 and I hired it all done. We found it was almost the same cost to hire our engine shop to do it all as it was to pay for the machine work and rebuild kit. (about another $150 for the labor and that way I got 12 months and 12K mile...

My experience with oiling a cylinder to improve compression sufficient to start causes me to suspect valve seat leakage as a first. If the engine is having that much trouble, it would be best to run a compression test to see it was all cylinders or just one or two. I have recovered engine...

Thats how mine work except I never had a black out stop light. Thanks for the info. 45 years I have owned my M37 and I never knew that level of detail. ~~ So how do the replacement or later tail/marker lights deal with black out?

I don't know what is correct, but I don't have a brake light in the blackout position. The only light that funcitons as a brake light is the left rear red oval lens. It is my understanding there were a few in service conversions to the military turn signals. I have seen rear lights with matching...

Captain-Crank, awsome collection of WWII stuff. Not to many M-10's around either. You are a 1 man MV club.

I wasn't suggesting you should do anything "stock". We got our M220 in white from Yuma Proving Ground because it reflects the heat well in that enviroment. Originally we were thinking we would repaint in vintage OD, but we decided to keep it as we got it so to speak. We used a combination of...

Stop Light is for normal daytime driving. Nothing else works except the stop light when the brake pedal is depressed. (only one of these on the left rear.) Blackout Marker should light up all 4 of the rectangle lights. Blackout Drive should light up the Blackout Marker lights and the left front...

The military actually has specifications for camo patterns per each vehicle with color combinations for different field conditions. I had a short conversation with a National Guard Captian last week where he told me they made up the paint schemes based on what seemed to work best. I don't think...

I assume the photos are of the engine you found for a possible replacement. It appears that engine has the military intake manifold with fording attachments. Should have a place for the air cleaner elbow support to bolt. If it does it might be the Canadian engine. Measure your M37 engine and...

Chrysler industrial engines use the same bell housing bolt pattern. Canadian M37's were stock with the longer engine. Radiator mounts differently and cowling sheet metal is different. Install offset shaft oil pump to match military distributor. Conversion to longer engine requires front motor...

OK, one of the differences between the military engines and civilian is the oil fill tube. The stock M37 engines had two studs on a machined boss where the oil fill tube mounts. Civilian engines have a press fit tube that pushes into the block and the area around where it mounts is not machined...

Thank you! We were very lucky to find this coming off active duty after 55 years. We bid on it last June and picked it up from Barstow (Yermo) right after the 4th of July weekend. Long hot trip home, but it was worth it. Less than 10,000 miles at the time and mostly complete with not too much to...

The reason I did not install a gas fired heater was the fact that the majority of my driving was off road in the Colorado Rockies. I hauled a 5 gallon can in the outside can mount and then usually a couple of 5 gallon cans lashed down in the bed. If I got in to snow or any condition that mean...

Has anyone considered the find might be a CCKW with the hoist frame as used for an early wrecker? Saw one of those frames on GL a couple of months back and wondered it it might fit in an M35. I don't thing that hoist frame was used much beyond WWII.
