Windshield Wipers!
Gentlemen,
What I am trying to figure out here, is which way to jump with the a new wiper set up!
When I replaced the leaky fuel pump on my M37, I replaced it with a modern fuel pump. The old style pump provided vacuum to run the wipers, the new pump doesn't provide vacuum...
Windshield size?
h1crwchf,
Thank you for going to all the trouble to measure for me!
The panels are the same size! That means that I should be able to use the same wiper set up as the deuce. [thumbzup]
P.S. RDD, thanks for the offer but H1 beat you to it! :arrow:
Windshield size?
I am still looking for information on the size of the glass windshield panels on the Deuce!
I have been told that they are the same size on the M37! Can anybody verify this, or measure the size of one of the Deuce panels?
If I can, I want to use the better wiper set up that...
Winch?
milsurp,
Yes, winches are available but are pricey! They add a whole lot of weight to the front end.
If your M37 didn't have a winch already on it, there are a lot of parts to add one! :arrow:
Translation
milsurp,
Your m37 is a 1954, the delivery date is the correct year.
The radio is really your generator/regulator on the driver side of the firewall.
You should find a serial number stamped in the drivers side of the frame between the steering box and the front spring bracket...
How Hot?
milsurp,
The type of hardtop I have doesn't have the sliding rear window like the later style, and is a little warmer in the summer.
The hardtops are preffered in the colder Winters up here in the Great Lakes!
I have enclosed an older picture of my M37-B1 with the early syle...
Great Website!
ryanaero,
If you don't already know about this, a great Website for help and information on the M37 is,
www.g741.org
The boys over there are very friendly and willing to help! 8)
A Thing of beauty!
Kenny, er Mr. M1008
Congratulations on scoring the M1008! Good looking truck! 8)
Keep the pictures coming, it will be great to see the progress as you go! :arrow:
Welcome!
Mrs73m819,
Welcome to Steel Soldiers! It is nice to see the better half of our regular members jumping in here to post! 8)
I am sure that you are as proud of the fine looking M819, as your hubby! [thumbzup]
Windshield Size?
Cranetruck,
I have been told that the windshield glass on the M35 is the same size as the M37, and the two are interchangeable?
If this is true, then the wiper arm and blade set up should work the same on either truck!? :?:
Since you have both trucks in your...
Tough Wood?
If you can't find some nice oak for a replacement, try using Black Locust.
It is used by farmers for fence posts because of it's rot resistance, and it is a very dense and heavy wood! :arrow:
M37 Parts
CGarbee,
Thanks for thinking of me! It seems that we are all looking for parts for something!
You're right, having an event to get an MV ready for, does tend to keep a project moving! :arrow:
Flatheads Forever!
Recovry4X4,
I am trying to restore to original Military condition, or as close as I can get!
My M37-B1 has the original Dodge flathead six in it, with the 24 volt electrical system.
It starts and runs great and...
Hardware?
Mike_L,
No, I am going to have to do the rear brakes and seals etc. first.
I'll probably have to wait until Spring, to hunt down the missing troop seat parts! I have mechanical things that need priority before the snow flies!
I did the front axle in time for the above mentioned...
