Thanks for posting the photos. Do you have some photos which show some context; that is, a bit further back to take in the entire engine compartment and accessories. Many of the photos are too tight and close. While your engine may not be original, at a glance it appears to be the right...

Photos are always helpful. Generally, GM engines used orange paint; Dodge used silver paint. As I recall, on the USA variant, there are only three head bolts with the threaded head. This allows the addition of a short screw (bolt) to attach vent line clips. The lift hook is standard...

It appears to be a NATO slave cable designed to take power from a standalone generator.

In what can be described as nothing less than a masterpiece of organization, I found both the missing battery switch and cowl vent bracket circuit breaker. They were attached to the old wiring harness and stashed in another part of the barn (don't ask!). Mouse food? Here's a photo attached just...

Mystery solved, sanity intact, memory maybe not so much. Now, why am I posting this? Let's see; oh, yeah. Back in my day.... Thank you very much to G744 for his response. He's dead on with his recall. In early models, there were 3 breakers installed on the cowl vent bracket: one for the horn...

Without getting into all the "why's and wherefores," when dismantling my M37B1, I labeled a circuit breaker as a "battery box circuit breaker" as if it were installed on the box. I'm aware that the breakers are supposed to be mounted on the cowl vent bracket, and I'm certain that the truck had...

I also recently dealt with the rebuilding of corroded light bodies and encountered similar problems. Here's a technique you might try in addition to the penetrating oil soak: Before trying to loosen the screw or other fastener, try to tighten it a bit. It doesn't have to turn; it just has to...

Looking forward to seeing it at Findlay. You've done a lot of work in a short time. Exciting!

Will do. Thank you.

Hi Dale, Can you send a private message to me? I think we can work out something for you.

Good report. As to the master cylinder, can you remove the plunger rod to remove the rust which is likely making it stick?

Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing it at Findlay.

How loud and hot does that run?

Patrick at Portrayal Press may be able to help you with the TM.

I'm no electrician, but my experience is that a short will cause the circuit to open immediately (blown fuse or open circuit breaker). An overload tends to take longer depending on the amount of the overload. But as Mr. Curtis indicates above, an intermittent problem could send you down a...

What are your plans for the truck? If you just want to drive it as is, it looks like you're good to go with the minor fixes described above. Otherwise, you've bought in to a lot of work to get the truck back to a semblance of originality. In the haze of infatuation and apparent cheap price...

(lsigh) For what it's worth, I'm fairly new to this forum. My experience, for some reason, has been very different from yours. As to "an old boys club," my observation is that one can't reasonably aspire to become part of "an old boys club" if you're combative, confrontational, accusatory...

As Guyfang said, it kinda depends on what you want to do with your truck. My experience is with wreckers--M816 and M936--which weighed roughly the same. My opinion is that the 939 series is superior to the 809 series. Both are purpose-built for the job, and you will have fun with either. I...

One possibility is your local auto salvage yard. They may have old W200 parts that may match up.

Wow. The foregoing comments point up how organizations and clubs can be damaged and even fall apart. How would they look to a new visitor browsing the forum who may simply be interested in becoming part of a group of people with a common interest in military vehicles? Would your comment...
