Did you use 383 green? That’s one nice looking truck!!!

I want one of them too!

Looks great! I kick myself for not getting one when I had the chance.

The PO of my M-37!installed a “big block” 318. He also installed power steering and some other things like a hydraulic clutch. After working on it’s wiring harness for several weeks, I would have never made the mod. Talk about 10 pounds of stink in a 5 pound truck! I don’t think it’s possible to...

Update, the M-37 is going to be put on the back burner for now. Got to get a truck delivered including all its pieces parts. Once that’s done, the G506 is going to get put back into work. Not sure how much will get done. The parade and open house season is starting and I need to make sure the...

Looks like it might be a wheel well panel. Either the left or right side, I’m not sure. Truck looks nice!

I have a 105. It needs some TLC and a can of paint. Not sure which service I’ll display it as. Probably not my gun truck, maybe my Marine Corps or maybe my other OD Air Force M35... decisions, decisions, decisions...

I bit of an update. Finally got it into my barn and out of our wonderful, extremely windy Wyoming weather. Finally got to give it a bit off a go over and WOW, cool ideas! I’ll get some pictures of them and post them in the next few days.

Got it running well enough to move it outside. Gonna have to do a complete lube, fluid and oil change. Once I get everything back inside, I’ll figure out what to do next.

Update: had to replace the temp gauge. The original 12 volt one was literally falling apart. It’s installed. I plugged all the gauges back in place and made sure the wiring was attached. Cleaned up the toots and supplies from around the front of the truck. Hooked up the battery and tested what I...

Perhaps offering the gentleman a case of dark beer (black butte porter is the best!) will help alleviate the situation?

I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a couple overhead gantries. I used them to pull a water tank from a G506. It’s better to have a couple people helping you out but I made it work since I just wanted to be stubborn.

No luck so far. I’ve got the horn working properly. Also have the starter doing it’s thing. I haven’t tried to start it yet, there’s no power to the gauges for some reason. Got to swap the wires on the electric fuel pump switch. Got them backwards. Since there’s so many different things going on...

Thank you! Really appreciate this info! Other than the coil to distributor center wire, there’s only two wires to the coil. One (positive) goes to the ballast resistor and the other (negative) goes to the distributor. (See photo). I’ve got a 50-50 chance on getting it right the first time. Wish...

Finally able to get to the barn. I downloaded several training schematics of wiring harnesses and components. After much head scratching, I think I’ve got part of the issue figured. There has to be a 12 volt power source in order to power up the truck. Wire #10 was one of two wires that were...

Haven’t been able to get out to the shop. Drifts a bit too tall for even me.

My truck has Selectro hubs, if I remember correctly. It’ll be a couple days before I can check it. Snow’s way too deep.

Weather is a pain in the drain. Blizzard is hitting this area pretty hard. So far it’s dropped about. Foot or so. Kinda hard to tell with the wind blowing at 30+ mph. So, no outside to day. I’ll use the time to see where I mixed things up. I suspect it could be either wire #10 or #12. #10 comes...

Got the battery cable attached to the starter solenoid. Going over everything one more time. Just figured out that the two barreled carburetor is a Motorcraft 3DM2, originally installed on 73-77 AMC Jeep’s. Gonna be interesting getting everything reattached correctly... Hooked up battery...

Webflis is the same system used by the military. There’s a civilianized data base that’s got beau ceau info on almost every stock number in existence. You need to register but it’s pretty easy. As for the stock number: 2540014384960 reads 2540-01-438-4960. 2540 is the stock class. It determines...
