Hi All,
Hope you had a good holiday. I had my deuce out for a ride on Sunday and got lots of looks and waves. People brought their kids over to see it. Old timers and not so old stop me at the store to see my truck. One girl ask if she could take pictures as her Dad loved military iron. On the...
I read the threads on singles and duals but living in the North, which is better on snow and ice? Also , can you single out the truck just by removing the outside tires or should you change the studs?

I have a 1971 multifuel and what is the best way for cold weather starting? Do you use the on-board assist,block heater,tank heater or ether? Every diesel semi driver I know warned me about popping heads and gaskets with ether. What is safe?

They just had a TV story on that there is a $85.00 fine in MI for no lic. plate light. I called the sec. of state office in Lansing last week and they told me that new plates are reflective and needed no light.Where do you put the plate and do you light it? I was going to put it on the tailgate...
Hope everyone had a good Christmas. In looking at many M-37 pictures, the rack behind the cab is missing. I went and looked at mine and it is missing also. It looks like you need a center bolt in bracket and two 90 degree slotted brackets for the corners. Can you buy the hardware or do most...
Hi All!

Hi Everyone. After 35 years of looking for a M-37, I found one in Charlotte ,MI that came from the group Jeff Branch Motor Sales sold in the late 1960's. I was 12 years old and my parents bought one for my brother to use to skid logs. He taught me to drive and I learned most things about auto's...
