Finally restoring the M37

[maccus]

Jim I have a NOS GI light switch and will swap with you if you want. I think the real GI switches are a better unit. For my resto of the M37 I have a switch like yours will do fine. Give me a call if you want to use the switch I have. It would give us a reason to do the Cheyenne trip.......

That will work. You can check out the new M36 also! Got half the bed sanded down again today.......

Working on seats at the moment; also, a picture of the "new" 1955 Reo parts M36.

That looks like a real good job you're doing.

How'd you learn to upholster; YouTube?

Paint booth was in use today, so I did decals. Painting gauges and instrument panel tonight.

Great job. Are you thinking about power steering? It makes a big difference

Been off school a week for the SEMA show and another for the granddaughters surgery. Made a few updates: Bed is repainted to my liking, started working on transfer case yesterday. Hopefully early next week I'll have the rest of the seals/gaskets in it, and it will be ready to go in.

Wishing the best for your grandaughter, and praying for her rapid recovery. Amen

Got the seals and gaskets changed in the transfer case. Waiting on a new parking brake band and springs and it'll drop in next week. Off school all this week so not much progress on the 37 other than scoring another rebuilt transmission...

That's a nice looking shop you got. And that's a good looking drill press; nice compact size. What kind is that?

That's a tight little item; do you like it, built solid?

Adjusted the hand brake and made a nylon washer for the speedometer cable. Bed is put together except I want to repaint the toolbox doors. We got snow last night so the truck won't go in until tomorrow for these parts to get installed.

It looks great Jim!

Looks great, but I don't think that red underbody tool box mounted in the back there is gonna work!!
