I have been continuing the teardown on my truck, started taking apart the bed and found these in the back of the cab, these are on the passenger side right behind the battery box.
Must have been a oh crap moment, can't tell exactly where they entered as the battery box was MIA on this truck...
What is a fairly complete(with cover) 105 bringin these days? I know they are not as common as they once were, saw one local and don't want to insult the guy when I make an offer. I was buying them for 300 each, or less back when there was a lot of them around.
Well, it's more of a parts rig as it sure is missing a lot of parts. I imagine this one was canabilized to put back together some other ones.
I sold my mule and have been kicking myself ever since so I may try to put this one back together. It is a 69 Brunswick and this one is an Army truck...
I picked these up from a scrapper today, hate to see stuff like this get sent to China as scrap metal, I am sure I can find someone in my club who could use them, what would be a fair price, as tires are about crap but do hold air, thanks
Been workin on my new 63 B1 and she is missing a few bits here and there, so I have been scrounging up needed parts. This was a rual fire truck after her time in they Army and they made a couple mods but nothing that is not easily reversible. So, I am lookin to put an original oil filter housing...
Rusty now a parts truck, bought new M37B1
Got the bed off and it wasn't as bad a chore as I thought it would be. I didn't have 4 guys to help me lift it off so I used my engine hoist, thank god for my sawzall. This truck is so rusty underneath and every bolt is fighting me every inch of the...
Made a trip to local pick and pull to get more parts off a tired old B 1 there, got a starter both runnin boards clean rust free glove box both knock out panels, batt box and tray and a ton of small stuff, 55 dollars out the door
I am in the process of switching my genny over to a alternator and you guessed it, I broke the pulley gettin it off the old genny. Anyone here got a spare M37 generator pulley? I would be more than happy to buy one from you as well as pay the freight, or if you know a source for a NOS or takeoff...
Got a replacement from a friend of mine, as mine is in sorry shape. But this one looks to have a defect, looks almost like a crack , but then again not like a crack almost like a grind mark, got a light behind it and could't see any light coming through. Get it welded up or forget about it?
Here is a truck that is still sorta on active duty(still on the property book anyway). A friend of mine used to be the commander of Ft. Chaffee before he retired, first showed me this truck about 10 years ago. They did a decent restoration on it maybe 15 years ago, but since my friend retired...
Saw this one off a major road near me, so I am sure it has been asked about a lot. I will try to locate the owner anyway, even though it is pretty beat maybe he will let me buy a couple of parts off this one that I need for mine.
I am in the process of doing an alternator conversion on my truck using a NOS adapter harness I got from Midwest. These were originally made for converting M35 gassers to multi fuel engines with an alternator, it looks pretty straight forward and I think I have it pretty well figured out. But I...
I have a 53 M37 and of course my truck has the ETW1 carb, but I found a parts truck a later B1 that has the B&B E7T2 carb, were these also used on the M37 while in service or was it a civilian carb that was swapped over to this truck later in it's life? thanks
Found this is a local pick and pull/ scrapyard, I am gonna pick it clean. It sure was a nice rust free B1, but they chopped off the front of the frame to get the winch off(lazy), not worth it money wise to buy the whole thing but I will get the good stuff, it sure has some pretty fenders[thumbzup]
even though I said I would never buy another one:lol: I must have a soft spot for them, probably in my head. I found this one on craigslist pretty close to my home. Previous owner had already rebuilt the motor, paint ain't bad and fairly complete. It has a tailgate, spare tire carrier, even had...
I picked up this little genset a couple of years ago at Hooks, replaced the carb, fuel pump, plugs and air filter and it has been a great running genset, it saved my bacon this week as we had a big ice storm her and we were without power for 3 days. I was able to run my central heat and some...
