I went with the stock size which I believe is 3”, goes under the cab and up behind the cab like an 18 wheeler. Keeps the noise in the rear view. Works great with 185 hp LDS power.

Ya gotta use maintainers with these or 2 years is about it. Most of us are going to group 31s. Some of us are going to group 31 AGMs, with a maintainer, those can last 6-8 years.

End of life? Are you running 6TLs?

That is a straight cool/electric strip heat unit. Heat is 12,000 watts (12 kW) and cool is 6 kW give or take. Generator needs to exceed cool kW by X1.5 ish for start surge handling. Edit: math mistake

Could this bracket match any of the wheel arch holes? It was used to support the troop seats when heavy radio sets were installed on top of them. Picture credit Haney Electronics All M37s had the electrical bulkhead connector in the front of the bed, yours is missing however.

Did you get Trucklites or JW Speakers?

Does the bed floor have any obvious hole patterns? This could indicate a radio rack was installed. Would be towards the front of the bed.

Rebuilding a 6.2 or 6.5 is no different than a 350 Chevy. Any close to you competent machine shop can do it.

Wow amazing, you still have 1950's tires on it, those clips are bead locks that replaced bolt together combat wheels. In the 1960's, the Army quit using those, meaning your truck has been left untouched for a long time. You have/had the 100 amp 24 volt charging system, used to power the radio...

Very nice condition. Mine was orange when I got it. Looks like you got a Saturday with a putty knife ahead of you to remove all the yuck from the frame.

How heavy is the box? The M109 shop van boxes are stupid heavy. That one looks reasonable.

Hard to believe, used to be these storms had to trundle all the way from Africa, this one popped up next to Cancun and 2 days later WHACK!

Tell us about “new injection pump”. Was it freshly remanufactured? It could be defective if it’s been sitting around forever.

Suggest you take the seal to Motion Industries or your favorite bearing house. They can “back into” a part number based on dimensions.

When I first got my M38A1 in 1980, it would stall like you are describing due to the float needle getting stuck and flooding the engine.

If you already have 11.00-20s on 10 hole rims, just take those along with the tire/wheel assy off your truck and have them swapped over. Need to find a grimy truck tire shop by the side of the road that does old truck and tractor tire work.

Welcome and that is a nice 4 man truck you got there. Good luck getting the paperwork sorted out.
