Thank you! Have spoken with Eaton, but they cost more than VPW. Again, nothing outwardly wrong or defective with respect to the spring sets I have now as described above to Canadianz. The more I think about it, fabricating a frame spinner for the donor frame may just be my best option. Gave the...

Thank you! Found a similar vendor in Rochester, NY who deals primarily with large commercial trucks/trailers as well as construction equipment. I will use them to go through my spring sets, but had hoped to find usable used M37 or suitable substitute to mount on new frame with trailer axles so I...

Has anyone been able to identify alternative 2" wide leaf springs? I've searched through all 111 archived posts and found little on the subject. Not interested in replacing the corporate M37 running gear--just looking for suitable replacement suspension. The limiting factor from what I've been...

You do first class work! I just need to hire you to work on my truck! Your M37 is going to be not only beautiful, but functionally superior when you are done!

Again, who knew?!?! Just to clarify, is that "powered" or "powdered" Tide? Have used a teaspoon to 2.5 gallons hot water--mixed well--to do final sand of primer before top coat. Always appreciate helpful hints! Thank you!

Who knew?! It's not too bad, but will keep this in mind! Have used it with steel parts (no aluminum) inside a sealed HD garbage bag. With the bag airtight, the process seems to work much better. Thank you!

Took a quick peek at the fan--no spacer, but not at the mounts as I was late for an appointment. Is that oil filter a good thing? Sounds like it is, but I'm not a Mopar expert. Certainly not a flathead expert either!

I will check that out today. Based upon head casting number, this was either made for and/or installed in a Massey Harris combine. As per the attached table, no "10039" head casting number is shown. Also have no idea what the "F" in the engine serial number indicates--can't seem to find a...

Think I have solved the mystery--at least partially. I crawled under the truck to check the passenger side of the block for rebuild/industrial/other tags given the left side of the block is not stamped. There is a Chrysler tag mounted to the block and is stamped "MODEL 32-1634-1", "SERIAL No...

Many thanks for your military service! As I'm sure you remember, Plattsburgh was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base and we had nuclear-armed FB-111A bombers and KC-135Q/R tankers there on alert. Remember during the 1980 Olympics we had Russians outside the fence at the end of the runway taking...

Used to live in Plattsburgh--I was stationed there 1978 thru 1982. Loved it there and being out on Lake Champlain--liked to camp on Valcour Island. I remember a large surplus business there I think. Small world!

Not really as upset as I may be sounding. My plans have not changed and I will be working to get the truck started. Cleaned out the bed today so I could see what I ended up with for extra parts. Bed is super straight but has rust scale in abundance present under the parts and pallet that were in...

I really have a problem here give there is nothing on the pad. Have read on other forums that this may be a warranty replacement engine, and they were supposed to be stamped by dealers with replaced engine numbers. Don't know if I'm seeing things or I was staring too long today, but I keep...

Took a bunch of pictures and posted same. The more I look, the more convinced I am this is not a T245 engine. Civilian oil fill, dipstick along with all the other civilian attributes previously mentioned. Oh and the area where the engine detail should be is blank as far as I can tell--see...

I totally spaced looking at the oil fill pipe and dipstick--single-focused on those darn head bolts! Temperature and humidity going up quickly here, so I will probably wait until later this afternoon to go back out and take pictures. I can live whatever the engine is so long as it runs. Thank you!

Worked at a Dodge dealership parts department in the mid 1970s and remember seeing the orange (more red than orange to me) and being perplexed. What all this boils down to is I don't like surprises--and this was one for sure. Disabled from military so my travel ability is limited. That left me...

Did not have time to take pictures yesterday, but will do so today and post. My experience regarding the vent line clips is same as yours. Absence of lift hook is what I noticed originally, so that prompted me to scrutinize everything. What I should have looked at but did not was oil filler and...

I understand, and it is what it is--so long as I can get it running. Turns free, but has not been started in years. I will look today to see if "T245" is visible. Going to need a good wire brush for this engine! Thank you!

Took delivery of a 1951 M37 today and have a question about the engine head bolts. Most pictures posted of M37 engine compartments I see show head bolts that appear absent of threaded holes in the cap. Also, a lift fixture is present. The passenger side of my engine has multiple head bolts with...

Al, Found these last night on FB M37/M43 Group. Don't know if they help, but thought I'd send along just in case. One from 1953, another from 1954, and a third NOS in USG packaging. Maybe a modification in style/fonts for -B1 series? Anyway, hope they help. Will pass along any others I come...
