    1954 M37 Engine Bay

    I don't think anybody said not to buy it , just know what you are getting and what it would cost to make right , depends on what you want . There are a LOT of M37's around , I ALWAYS say BUY as MUCH truck as you can saves money in the long run .

    how to remove rear drum?

    187 , I got my seals at Memphis Equipment last year when I was at the convention in Huntsville . I Have a A3 so I changed everything over to the A2 setup , MUCH easier to repair over the CTIS seals . Not a bad job , once you burn off the air ring , I have lots of CTIS bearing if anybody needs...

    1954 M37 Engine Bay

    I agree with Cobra 5 , probably a Civilian block , would explain the 12 volt conversion , if that's the case , it would bring the price down a LOT !

    1954 M37 Engine Bay

    Looks to be the basic 12 volt conversion , all the Vent lines are gone , carb is from a civilian PW , figure in starter , generator , regulator , distributor , oil pump , gauges ? . Figure a wire harness , plus all sorts of bulbs . how is the sheet metal ? figure all this in the price as they say .

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    BURN IT OFF !!! , really , you just need to heat up the epoxy with a torch , I used a rosebud , and then use you basic BFH and give the air ring a few whacks , it will fall right off . Then I used a flap wheel to clean up the axle housing , good to go as they say . Then just get a plug for the...

    M37 Brakes

    Also bear in mind that the M37 uses a SINGLE circuit brake system , IMO , not a safe system for a Fire/Rescue department . We used to call it a 2vpump system , brake a line and you had MAYBE 2 pumps to get it stopped . If nothing else , update the truck to the 2 circuit MC , not a bad project ...

    how to remove rear drum?

    Just finished a bearing and seal service on my MV. Not to bad a job , once you get rocking and rolling . Recommend the Big 8 PT. socket , makes it easier to adjust the bearings . I used GAA for the bearings and replaced the seals , and DO NOT forget the little cork , I used some Blue silicone on...

    m37 coolant hoses

    I forget the ID sizes , but they are all straight hose . If they carry straight hose should be go to go . On line either Midwest Military or Vintage Power Wagons carry the hoses .

    Brakes

    Any time the MV has gone through deep water , you need to service everything ! from changing the driveline fluids , to wheel bearings and complete brake inspection . If it was deep enough to get water in the brake MC boot , you were pretty deep . Off hand I would say the MC is junk , because it...

    Post your m37 pictures

    Yes they all have the hole for the winch shaft , the winch could be added to a non winch truck if needed by the military . They had winch kits , heater kits , cold weather kits , hard tops , etc , all could be added in the field .
