    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    Thanks. It will take a while to get it done, but working on a project like this is the part I like best...even more fun than driving them, IMHO. I've had several vehicle projects over the years, but for the past 15 years my main project has been the restoration of a 220-year-old home. We...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    At some time in the distant past, someone had already replaced the right-side blackout-only light with one that matched the left light. They had also installed turn signals. However, the wiring harness that serves the rear lights and trailer connector is too far gone to repair, so I'll end up...

    Thanks. Fixed the spelling...just a slip-up.

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    @Mullaney, it looks like I may be able to use Gama Goat lenses after all. I just found and ordered four repair kits for the original lights that include new internal parts. I was able to completely disassemble two of the lights, but I'll have to drill and easy-out a few broken small internal...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    I've found replacement 'doors' for the original lights that have large lenses, but the problem is that the innards (sockets and socket brackets) of all of the lights are badly corroded, and so far, I haven't found proper replacements for them. It's obvious that when the lamps had been replaced...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    My preference is to keep my M37 basically stock, other than a few minor mods (mostly for safety) that don't affect its appearance very much, if any. One somewhat visible modification I'm thinking about would be to go with later M-series lights with larger lenses for better signal/tail/stop light...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    I'm planning to replace all of the brake lines, and some of the supplies arrived for that task. 1/4" copper-nickel brake line, stainless protective spring sleeves, stainless fittings, brass couplings, stainless hold-down clips, etc. Also got a brake light switch, tee fitting, and pigtail for the...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    More parts for the brake system arrived: A pressure differential valve (NOT a proportioning valve) with system failure warning switch. A pigtail for the failure warning switch with a water-resistant connector. An NOS extension section for the brake cylinder push rod. A high-strength...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    My 1954 M37 restoration project has been on the back burner for a long time, and I'm finally getting around to working on it again. I did quite a bit of work on it years ago, so I already have a very good start. I've had it stashed away in a shipping container, and now it's residing in a storage...
