    M37 Greek Harness questions

    I have a two-piece (front & rear) NOS Dodge M37 harness I purchased from Wildenberg (Holland) 2 years ago. I never put it in. One of the two boxes has never been opened. I can sell it for $225 including shipping to the US.

    Ran the M37 in the annual Light Parade December 7th Pearl Harbor day.

    It was a good show. I appreciate you guys putting it on. Quite a ways from East Mesa!

    Up powering an M43, engine swap, engine+ drivetrain, or engine, drivetrain, and frame

    Well, over the winter we "did the deed" and swapped out the old M43 frame. I rounded up the necessary parts, donor truck, wiring harness, shift kit and so on. I had two knowlegable mechanic friends do the dirty work during the slow snowy months. It came out pretty dang good, drives well, and...

    Up powering an M43, engine swap, engine+ drivetrain, or engine, drivetrain, and frame

    Thanks for your reply. I'm leaning heavily toward swapping the body of the M43 onto the GMC 2500's frame. If we can't get the measurements to come out, I'll look at going the other way into the M43.

    Up powering an M43, engine swap, engine+ drivetrain, or engine, drivetrain, and frame

    T Thanks for your reply. I studied several other LS 6.0 conversions done on M37/43s available on youTube and such, and I have pretty much come to the same conclusion as you suggest. Both methods are a major headache, but trying to refit the M37/43 frame with a modern drivetrain (even just...

    Up powering an M43, engine swap, engine+ drivetrain, or engine, drivetrain, and frame

    Ah, the first reply is from one of the high priests of the Pentecostal HMV Church. (just kidding, but you used the word sacrilege) It's ok - I have faithfully (painfully) restored a 1945 DUKW, a 1942 WC-56, and am still working on two GPWs. My dues have been paid to the hobby in time...

    Up powering an M43, engine swap, engine+ drivetrain, or engine, drivetrain, and frame

    I have a 1953 M43. I would like to put a bigger engine and disc brakes in it for long-distrance highway driving. I have a donor 2006 GMC 2500 stretch cab pickup w/ 6.0 vortec& 4L80E auto trans. I have completed the restoration on the M43 & repainted with crosses and correct numbers, etc. 1...
