    WC63 color mystery

    In the mid-80s, I purchased my WC-63 where I saw it parked in front of a business near Hesperia, CA. I'm in the process of getting it back on the road, but I'm a bit confounded by the color beneath the peeling gray paint. It appears to have been yellow. The yellow paint is evident...

    Needing tires for M135?

    My local truck tire shop will change out split rims. Check around your area; you'll likely find one that can do the work.

    20-21 September 2024 Redball Military Transport Rally and Huge Military Flea Market

    Well, that looks hard to miss, and it's a great looking rig. We arrived Thursday afternoon, and were there all day Friday and most of Saturday. It was a good show, and my buddy and I came home with a lot of parts. We asked several people if they knew anyone who brought 7 900-16s, but we came up...

    No. We looked all over the place including the display area both days. Didn't see them :(

    20-21 September 2024 Redball Military Transport Rally and Huge Military Flea Market

    The 900-16s are something that I'm interested in...of course, it's hard to commit sight unseen, but if it's not too much of a hassle....

    Dodge 230 L6 Question...

    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...

    Dodge 230 L6 Question...

    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...

    Can anyone tell me what kind of cable is this?

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

    M37 battery box circuit breaker?

    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...

    M37 battery box circuit breaker?

    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...

    M37 battery box circuit breaker?

    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...

    M37 Restoration Project - Revived

    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...

    So I was just looking for a Chevy Pickup...

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