Mmm, a couple of cuties! That would be a great shot for Front End Friday…

In the early 1970’s I did a lot of service work at Pontiac Motors. I used to love watching the guys at the end of the line “adjusting” the bodies. Their main tool was a 2 X 4 and a rag. They would look the car over and pry doors, hoods and trunk lids to make them fit right. With all the...

Thanks! I’m looking forward to seeing who submits their vehicle in April…

This is a beautiful truck! Nice restoration.

My First MV. 1953 M37…

Here are some close up photos. I framed the opening with 1 x 2 oak. The doors were salvaged from a cabinet I bought by mistake. The cabinets I used are oak kitchen cabinets. Behind the door on the right is my breaker/ fuse panel and solar controller. The breaker panel came from the donor...

Me too. I have a friend in the landscape business. He uses Sea Foam instead of Sta Bul. He swears by it. All of his small engines start right up after being stored all winter. I wish it was available in one gallon cans.

I’m working on the interior today. I’ll take a few pictures and post them.

I think you have to be sketchy to be in this hobby… 🤪

I love what you’re doing. I would settle for adding 6 inches to my cab. I squeezed air ride seats in mine. They fit but there is very little clearance behind the seats. Can anyone explain to me why these cabs are so small?

Speaking of looking good, who are these handsome dudes?

Gee, I Gee, I don’t know… All over the country? 😁

This makes me miss my M37. You have real nice truck there!

Thanks for the reminder that testing a device with a known power source can save a lot of time and money. This symptom had me going. I don’t know if I would have thought to remove the lights and simply connect them to the battery to see if they were the cause. Well done! the other thing I am...

I had that problem some years ago. I took the fuel shut off solenoid apart and cleaned it. A speck of dirt will cause them to stick open. Once it was cleaned, it’s been working fine. While I was having that problem I got tired of opening the hood to reset the manual shut off. I installed a...

Getting ready for the Jefferson Highway Convoy in October. Painted the exterior, installed AC in the cab, re-worked the generator fuel system, still on the “to do list”: replace stereo speakers in the cab, stencils, oil change and other misc. maintenance stuff.

Welcome from Michigan to Steel Soldiers. This is a great site for a great hobby.
