Some of us with LMHC envy adapted Vestil truck jib cranes such as the WTJ-4. You have to fabricate a socket base to use the square bed hole. Thread here somewhere from 8 years ago.
Wider where, in the back or front or both? The deuce and M37 have the same windshield width. So if the width is way more at the windshield, I have no idea. The 900 series 5 ton is wider, but it didn't exist in 1962. The window design could be different.
Carefully study the boom loading chart for the wrecker. With the shipper fully extended, you will not be able to pick up 15,000 lbs. Your loaded combination will be deep into CDL territory. Big money and hassle to run legal.
Sounds an awful lot like a Deuce cab cover. What aspect of it is too big for a M37? Obviously the M37 did not use the twist lock fasteners over the door. But the 2.5, 5 and 10 ton did.
Looks ok to me.
Until you have “baselined” the oil meaning you know that you have fresh clean moisture free oil in there, don’t worry about the blowby vapor.
This can be water vapor or oil vapor. If you change the oil and it disappears, it is water vapor. If it remains, it is called “blowby” and it’s a sign of piston rings not sealing well. Again, an oil change with some kind of additives like Lucas can help.
There is not a left and right foot intended for the light/medium tow bar. As long as you have your keeper cotter pin/hairpin pin (whatever) in place to keep the pin from falling out you are good to go.
When these were selling at auction they brought $350. Since he kept it inside and it’s not now all rusted out like most are, it is worth north of $1000.
