    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    No worries. I will be doing a trip back down to ATL likely in Nov or Dec again, too, so keep that in mind.

    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    Heck, if we can get a trailer and if the jeep is ready to go, this is definitely doable.

    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    May 21st, give or take one day. EDIT: could either one of y'all (CARNAC or emmado) send me more specific details on where this is being rebuilt? I'm idly curious since I've spent a lot of time in the Rhinebeck/Red Hook area in the past.

    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    I usually stop in Rhinebeck, NY (12571) to visit family on my way from Boston to ATL. Here is my route: MapQuest Maps - Driving Directions - Map I90W from Boston, across the NY state line to the Taconic State Parkway Taconic southbound to Rte 199 for Red Hook/Rhinebeck 199 to and over the...

    M715 Cummins First test drive!

    Sounds good running through the gears!

    Boyhood dream nearing completion

    CARNAC, it just so happens that I do the round trip between Boston and ATL regularly (4 times a year) now--and my route takes me through NY, too. If you would like to make something happen in the future (I will be making that trip regularly for the next two years or so), let me know. I would...

    Another North GA newbie

    Fuel filters and air filter will be your biggest contenders. After that kind of drive, I would definitely go ahead and acquaint yourself with changing all three fuel filters since you probably cleaned out a lot of gunk from your fuel system with that much run time. I'm not sure about servicing...

    Also, this tutorial will help with posting pictures.

    Another North GA newbie

    You've got a sharp looking truck! It looked good when I passed you going the opposite direction on I81 in Virginia!

    Seebee emblem

    If you search for "Seabee" you might get a bit more results. Use the Google search function; it's much more effective than the regular search bar. It's at the bottom of the drop-down menu when you click on "Search" along the bar at the top of the page. Also; do you want pictures, or are you...

    M37: Dismount/remove cargo bed

    I doubt removing the bed is going to bring your truck below 5,000 lbs, if that is the requirement. The bed assembly only weight about 500lbs, and the manual quotes the truck at being 5,700 lbs empty w/o winch. If it helps, there are 6 bolts holding the bed to the frame. I think four of them are...

    Rescue Recovery Of An Old Steel Soldier

    This truck belonged to member "Big Case" or something along those lines. His truck was torched with gasoline by an arsonist.

    2 M37s Saved from the scrapper

    Do check. It looks like I need to find myself a job that pays decently for this summer...

    M-923 A1 "Big Foot"

    I don't think this is for sale per se... it seems more like "free to a good home"which if I understand does not belong in the classifieds.

    Duel NDT 11.00 X 20s On A Deuce

    Technically speaking they are NDCCs... by the way, do you have a good source for them? My truck is running singled 11.00x20 NDCCs and I want to dual it back out.

    M37 Ignition Switch

    I think it should be rather simple. The master power switch on the M37 is simply a binary switch. Either everything's on, or everything's off. If you have a continuity checker/multimeter, you could probably figure it out. I'd look at my M37 for you, but it's currently 1100 miles away. Hopefully...

    Has anyone?

    That spare lever on the transfer case is for the tank pump PTO (since it was a tanker truck). If the PTO is still there, you could probably sell the PTO and make some spare cash to fund your brakes. Hopefully some folks whom are more knowledgeable about the tankers and PTOs will chime in.

    What is this truck?

    It's a Reo only if the data plate on the dash lists the manufacturer as "REO." That just seems to be the standard convention for things. Your truck is made by the maker of the truck, not the maker of the engine since there was such a wide variety of engine manufacturers. (For instance, my truck...

    My New M37

    Drill and tap is one way. Use super-hard cobalt drill bits, starting small and working your way up. Somebody welded over one of the holes in the block for a water pump bolt on my truck. We put the pump back plate on with 2 of the 3 bolts and used the pump to mark where the bolt should be. We...

    M37: Coming out of the green closet

    That won't exactly work... the starter button is directly above the accelerator, making it just a bit more complicated if you're not used to it (as I was when I first got mine running)
