I don't know how much I can add but if it was my choice I would go with the 331 and avoid the 5.7. The modern hemi's from my understanding have soft cams that can go south on you if you're not religious with your oil changes. Also going with the older motor means no need for the electronic to...

New Fiberglass hardtops go for close to 1K in price so if it is restored complete you may want to go a little higher. I would be comfortable at 500, but hey you can start at 350 and go up from there.

Well I don't have a G506 and I'm using my eyecromiter looking at pictures but it looks like they are about approximately 1-2 inches shorter than the pintle. Looking at pics the bed ends the bumper go out an inch or so beyond the bed but the pintle sticks out a little past the pintle. Sorry I...

There is a guy on Youtube his channel is JerryRigEverything and he is converting a HMMWV to electric in the same way your are doing the M37. Don't know if you've seen it or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case you want to compare notes with what he's doing.

Well if your going to be able to garage it in the future then my thought is to repair the top you have. Look into some type of gasket to seal the turret up when not in use and then park that thing in your new garage once it's built. Or not it's your truck.

Glad you are feeling better and getting back at it. May 2022 be the year you drive your truck again. Happy New Year to you sir.

50 mph in reverse just like the Austin Champ...lol.

There are two types of GMC owners. Those who have an exhaust manifold gasket that's blown and those who will have an exhaust manifold gasket that's blown. I met a man in the late 90s with an M135 when I had my M211 and his truck was ran smooth and was quiet and I asked him how he got it to run...

Where they left NA or reengined with turbo which is what I was saying?

I saw a pic the other day of Gen. Westmorland in a 151 reviewing the troops and they had made a pipe hoop from one side of the body to the other so he could stand and hold on to the bar while the truck was moving. Maybe yours had something like that?

Not really, just that the vehicle would be brought to current standards. In most cases a 6.2 hmmwv would get demilled because of age. But a 6.5 na might get pushed up to 6.5 turbo.

Great to see you found a solution to the problem of shavings sludge in the first transmission. I'm keeping my eye on this project.

Gov. Rebuild projects generally put the vehicle back to current as issued condition. Which means if the engine doesn't pass certain tests it gets replaced, Same for the transmission etc. Generally at a minimum you get new tires, brakes, fluid changes, electrical checked and as stated MWOs...

Okay because the front frame rails move inward you will need to move your spring mounts for the front axle. Seeing that those axles are for coil springs it sounds like you've got adapters for leaf mount coming your way. I used a Dana 44 HD front and Dana 60 rear out of a M880 to keep it in the...

I've been in this hobby for over 35 or so years and I've never seen anything like that on a M151. It looks like an antenna mount, but it's not correct for the AB-15 or the As-1729 type antennas that would have been used with the 151s. Did your MUTT have a previous civilian owner? Maybe they...

Maybe it's just the way it's sitting on the ground and the camera angle, but is the frame warped or bent in some way?

This may be a case of you're going to have to do some fabricating on your own to make the whole thing work. Since I don't think there was ever an official kit to install into the an M151, it would have been as a said above a unit level thing and the GIs would have had to make their own "kit"...

The combat wheels were not supplied originally to the M37. They did come on the WWII Dodge Weapons Carriers (WC). You might check the WWII WC form for that information. https://steelsoldiers.com/forums/wwii-dodge-trucks.65/

Try TNJ Murray. They have been in the M151 parts business for over 30 years. I've bought many a part from them and have never had a problem with quality. Here is a link to the part you're looking for. M151 thermostat Housing

Stared at it for about 30 mins contemplating my next move on its rebuild/conversion. LOL!
