    Registering ex military vehicle in Louisiana

    That is most interesting. In the 1970's, the Texas DMV used the frame number on my M37b. That was on a 1962 truck.

    Another MEP003 is alive

    Fuel tank liners will do the job. You need to be OCD about following the instructions. See my old posts about tank lining. Best of luck.

    Deuce storage

    At least put out glue traps if not poison. Even mouse urine on electrical items is really destructive.

    New Headlights Wiring issue - Need help

    You can use headlights that use a separate bulb. 24v H4 bulbs are very available and much cheaper than seal beams. Check on Amazon and other places.

    New to me M35A3, suggestions needed

    Our VFD used a 2 inch high pressure pump from Northern Tool that does the job for us. Have one on a tanker for water transfer, another on a brush truck supplying 1 inch hoses.

    M37 engine knocking

    Just for your peace of mind, I suggest pulling all 6 rod bearings. If you aren't dead broke, replace with new bearing shells. You have already got the oil pan off.

    M37 engine knocking

    If the rod bearings look OK, shine a bright light at the wrist pins and piston skirts. It's a possibility. An aside, be sure the water distribution tube behind the water pump is not rusted away. The #6 cylinder suffers if this item is bad.

    re-using a torque converter

    I have reused a converter from a bad transmission by flushing well and using an external filter on the return line from the transmission cooler. If you are poor, roll the dice.
