    Windshield woes

    They are the same inner windshields as m35s, although some deuces had offset wipers instead of centered. The offset ones are not that common though. I have the Korean windshields in my truck.

    2wd SM465 to 4wd mated to a NP208

    The np208 was used with the sm465 from around 81-88 on square body trucks I think. You should be able to find an adapter in a junkyard. I have a sm465 in my m1009 and the best way to do it is buy a whole parts truck if you can, it's cheaper in the long run. You'll want the transfer case...

    They look like Dualmatic hubs.

    Help ID M37 LWB

    I'm not sure if Dodge completely built the trucks or just supplied the cab and chassis to companies to finish assembly with the rear bodies. As far as I know all the crash trucks were built on the m56 chassis so the 560 number would not include them. I think the only trucks that would be marked...

    This M-37 in Italy

    I would say that the truck is an m37b1 which is the later version of the m37. The hood number looks to be in the right format. The b1s had the door tire carrier from the factory but regular m37s were updated with them as well. M37s and m37b1s all had the jerry can holder on the passenger side.

    Help ID M37 LWB

    The Ordnance Corps is responsible for procuring vehicles for the Army I believe. All Army m37 trucks I have seen have that, or ORD DEPT on the earlier ones. T-245A is the Dodge model designation for the "B1" series of trucks. Regular m37s were just T245. The engine number should start with...

    Help ID M37 LWB

    The CMU-3 and CMU-5 are the contact maintenance trucks. The m201b1 and V41 are the telephone maintenance trucks. It is not that uncommon to see a telephone truck or contact truck with the bed replaced with something else. I have a crash truck on the same long wheelbase frame and a regular m37...

    Help ID M37 LWB

    I would guess it was an m201b1, CMU-3, or CMU-5. They had the spotlight on the fender.

    Help ID M37 LWB

    The m56 is the long wheelbase chassis. If it is a 1958 it would be an m56b1. There are pieces of the door carrier still on it. Your truck very likely had a utility body on it when it was made.

    M52A2 replacing old style with new style alternator

    The box is a voltage regulator that is not used with the 60 amp alternator. The other connector going into it should have 4 pins and plug into the conversion harness.

    Stuck valve

    I would pull the valve covers off to check. I have freed up valves through the spark plug holes.

    Picked up an R2 crash truck today...

    I am missing the ladder on the rear of the truck that is used to get on the roof. It looks easy enough to make. If anyone with an R2 could get some measurements of that I would appreciate it. I am also looking for info on the front grappling hook.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The grille was all cracked and broken and the core support was rotted so they went to scrap.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I removed the th400 / np208 from my m1009 and installed a SM465 manual transmission with a np241 transfer case. I pulled them out of a 89 3/4 ton suburban I bought for parts a few years ago. The burb was a gasser so I had to use the flywheel out of an 83 diesel l got last year. It wasn't too...

    CUCV. Speedo removal?

    There is a tab that retains the cable you have to push in as you pull the cable out of the gauge.

    Horn Issue

    I have had that happen before. If I remember right the convex round piece was in upside side down.

    rebuilt my t245, runs like garbage

    I don’t know if it’s causing your issue but most people I know set the timing at 4 degrees or more before tdc.
