I've registered several MVs (wreckers, M35A2) over the years in Virginia and never encountered a problem with obtaining tags using the normal registration application. The CUCV in particular is a military variant of a civilian vehicle. While I'm no expert, I believe that the intent of the law...

Great excuse to see my daughter who lives in Louisville. Er, great excuse to go to the show while seeing my daughter.

Reading through this old thread brought a memory to mind....which I humbly submit for consideration as winner in the foolish idiot department--though I plead youthful ignorance as an insanity defense, I was of driving age and certainly old enough to know better. Did you know that an M37 will...

As it happens, both, I think. Wife has embraced the truck. The truck remains mute.

NDT on the Technical Manuals thread asked for photos of my M37 before disassembly. In the interest of keeping the threads organized, I've attached a few photos with the below comments. Note the gas cab heater on the left fender. It is a South Wind 978-M. The pipe at the left corner window is...

There seems to be very little information on the subject generator. I'd be interested in hearing some opinions borne of experience. Also, are the large cables available anywhere? Thanks for your help.

We used to own old International 2554s with Detroit Diesel engines. When the batteries went down, we tried to limp along with using jumper cables, etc to start the engine just to get through the day. One time we tried hooking up two portable jump boxes along with a jumper cable from a running...

The batteries are very likely unusable from both age and exposure to heat and cold. It takes a lot of power to start that engine. From what you've said, and from my experience with big trucks, the easy (though a bit expensive) way is to buy a new set of batteries. It's difficult to get enough...

Thanks for the detailed photos. I'll be reassembling mine soon, and your photos will be invaluable.

Were you able to get your horn button installed? I just pulled mine apart and do not recall that rubber washer on top of the nut to be part of the assembly.

In a previous post, the owner mentioned using a forklift to unload from a trailer. While most people don't have forklifts, probably some do have a tractor with a loader. An effective way that I've used to maneuver the truck is to run a chain or sling through the pintle hitch and fasten to the...

I'll add my input because the owner (my son-in-law) has been taken up with work, a construction-caused house disruption, and a new baby. (yeah, I'm a new grandpa)...At the risk of getting off track.... The engine appears to be original, that is, a T245. It has conventional spark plugs, after...

Tank update...but before I start, thanks to you all again. After a local club member suggested it, I opted for the high school chemistry experiment method (I don't know if such things are taught any more). Basically it's electrolysis. Second Chance Garage has a good description: Gas Tank...

Thank you for the comments and advice. Seems that there is more than "one way to skin the cat." I like the idea of putting the tank in the back of a truck to (painlessly?) slosh whatever "witches' brew" is inside. As an aside, I just completed a 67 Chev C10 with rebuilt 283 engine and 2 speed...

Hello all, Today, I dropped the fuel tank for my M37, The tank has at least two baffles dividing the tank into approximately 1/4--1/2--1/4 sections. It appears that there is no direct access for maintenance or cleaning for the two outside baffled areas. After removing the fuel sending unit...
