We get to Prescott now & then, I'll try and remember to PM you if heading there. I have an M113 radiator for sale, small world. (6V53 version) D

LU-2 is a 2-ton winch. The LU-4 is a 4-ton, but derated for the M37 to 7,500 lbs. BTW the MU-2 was a WW2 winch, found on many Dodge WC's.

Where be you located? I'm about 35 miles SW of the Phoenix metro in Hidden Valley. Dennis

Your transfer case is synchronized, and if there is sufficient torque while underway, it may be really hard to shift. As said, use the clutch, or bump the throttle when moving and pulling on the lever.

Also seen it with a 100kW genset on it.

Keep in mind the standard Milspec flashers/control handles are poorly designed. One quicky short anywhere between the handle and lights, one or both are gone. At the least, put an inline 10A fuse in the flasher feed and brake light switch. At the best, get the one by Nartron, rather than the...

No bolts, just a piece of steel rod, drilled on each end for cotterpins and washers. Easy to make them up from a ground rod, and they are Copper covered so won't leave rust stains.

Dup post.

Ah, don't overthink this. The truck was designed when all cars & trucks did front lighting that way. If you are OCD about it for 'safety' cut the lead from the park lights, and splice it into the lead going to the taillights. Voila!

I hear Cali has some very restrictive DMV opinions on bringing ANY MV into the state and trying to register & plate it. Have you got that sorted out?

What a mess. I'd restore it to stock, the parts all go together with little hassle. G744 aka Dennis

I called you...

Don't know why one needs a CDL for a deuce, maybe in some states. Active MV's don't stop for DOT scales anyway, if you do go thru, it adds unwanted attention. A temp plate for moving it is easy to get. Get some cushions for the seats, sitting on bare metal/wood is very uncomfortable for any...

Mounted up a good 14.00-20 AT-2A on a new wheel, new tube & flap. 5 hours for that job, including modding the wheel. The price one pays when you get a flat whilst going down the road at 20 MPH...

If the starter won't go with the security switch off, there has to be a big relay in the chain somewheres.

"Ammo" door? That spot was for things like the lug wrench & jack, snatch block, eTc. BTW, both sides were the same...

I had an M543 (modded from an M62 by the military) with the 6602. Drove it from Yuma to Chandler, AZ. A bit over 200mi. It used right at 200 gallons of regular for that trip... Gotta love the blue flame out the exhaust at night making 52 mph!

THe "holy grail" of multifuel engines is that used in the M656 8X8 tactical trucks. It was the LD465-2 multifuel, making a bit over 200hp. Real hen's teeth, tho.

Goat motors were one-off engineered in aluminum alloy blocks, to save weight for use in them. Not a lot of other places will you find one. Several other Detroits were produced in alloy, and all suffered from liner O-ring seal failures due to fretting against the iron liner. Glycol in the oil...

Yes, I've seen several M35's with 5-ton motors in them. They pull much better on the highway, but no whistler anymore...
