    How much is my M37 worth?

    Worth more as parts than as a truck. More work to part it out, but more money in it that way.

    My first MV, an M43.

    I got mine as a "Steal" running truck mostly complete. I did drive it onto the trailer. It is only about 35% mechanically renovated as yet and I have already more than tripled what I paid for it. That is how old vehicles go. I still laugh whenever someone says they "Have $32K invested" in a $12K...

    Picked up an R2 crash truck today...

    Does it still have the bonus glovebox full of pigeon poop? I thought that was a nice touch, but hard to restore. (I'm jealous of the huge yard and shop and all the "parts" trucks!)

    Helmets When Driving

    Helmets When Driving

    The state I live in it is not necessary to wear a helmet on a motorcycle. (I never ride without one. Too many years racing, seen and done a few things.) Wearing a helmet in a car or truck is illegal. They claim you won't hear or see emergency vehicles if you are wearing a helmet in a car or...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I spilled a smoothie and it ran under the fuel tank in the m38. So, instead of working on sewing up a summer top, I was pulling the seat, tank and floorboards to clean up my mess. Drat!

    rust in fuel tank

    I used hydrochloric acid to remove the rust. Swish it around for about 1/2 hour. Neutralized with sodium Hydroxide (lye) and then misted with fogging oil to stop flash rust from forming. Of course, you MUST use a respirator, mask, gloves, rubber apron, do it outside, come up with a SAFE way to...

    15" wheels on M880 ?

    I was going to say something pithy about hitting your local scrapper as they would have a mountain of used steel wheels cheap. Until I saw your location. Maybe not so much there. (Need some old Healey wires wheels? I have set here.)

    m37 crankcase ventilation

    You can see the components in the TM's and parts manual. It isn't a complicated system. Port in the block to the pcv valve to the fording valve and then the intake manifold. There is a line from the snorkel to the oil fill for inlet air.

    faux 890. Am I nuts?

    BO and Pintle are a must to match all the other MV's around here. (And, well, I do have them.) What I found out I don't have a spare of is the trailer receptacle. Where did they mount the jumper cable port, or were they not equipped due to the 12V system?
