I was there again Friday and John doesn't have them so I took your (and his) advice and made one from cork gasket material purchased from the local O'Reilly Auto Parts. Pretty simple - I just put the bowl on the material and ran an x-acto knife around it then put a spray can in the center of the...
Thanks! I should have thought of that. I was just there on Thursday. Looks like I'll have to make another trip. Oh well, Going to Midwest Military is always a treat.
I have an early M37 with the fuel filter mounted in front of the voltage regulator and I finally got an element for it but before I can try it out it I have to find the gasket that goes between the upper and lower halves of the filter canister. Does anyone know where I might find one?
Thanks...
I gave a 2nd ground a try but no help. The gauge jumps to just above empty when the ignition is switched on and the tank is full.
It really seems to me like a mechanical problem with the sender. It's as if the float were just a little too heavy or the lever is binding when immersed in fuel.
The senders came from AB Linn and A1 Army Supply and they are identical. I thought that maybe the float on first unit was defective so I bought the second but am having the same problem.
The gauge is the metal connector style so it reads half when the lever is all the way up. I hope to replace...
Thanks. I'll check the ground again but there is a ground from one of the sending unit mounting screws to the frame and the gauge operates fine when I test the sending unit out of the tank - I move the lever up and the gauge reads full then I move the lever down and the gauge reads empty...
I've purchased 2 new fuel sending units and can't get either to work. I measured the resistance out of the tank at the sending unit and at the gauge and found both to work but installed in the tank neither works. It seems like the floats aren't buoyant enough to raise the levers but checked in a...
My tail lights are pretty corroded inside and I'd like to replace the springs and pigtails in the smaller (1251 bulb? ) sockets. Does anyone know where I can get these parts? I brought the sockets into my local NAPA and the guy just gave me a blank stare and said the he wasn't able to look the...
Nice truck!
I got my M37 last October and it's been nothing but fun. I found it through craigslist and was lucky as it was only about 30 miles away and delivery was included in the deal.
Can I ask how you found yours?
I'd be tempted to leave the paint job but then I'm partial to red (and...
Thanks Bruce. That would be great.
Please send to :

and let me know what you need or your time and trouble.
If you have seat cushions or springs I could use those.
Also, does anyone have a pattern for or the dimensions of the plywood passenger seat base?
Thx

Both are very close but the wires on my switch are tagged B, C, D, E, F, G. After poking around a little more I've found that page 2-70 of TM 9-2320-212-20 Organizational Maintenance Manual Nov 1973 diagrams a couple of switch variations one of which looks like it fits the Signal-Stat 600 that I...
Thanks patch.
What I'm specifically looking for are the hook up instructions for the various leads. The leads on my unit are tagged with letters and I need to know what connection each letter maps to. Since it's a 6 wire unit I'm guessing that the leads go to left front, left rear, right...
Thanks for the responses. I understand and respect the opinion that historical integrity is important but I'm not doing a restoration here just trying to keep my truck from starting on fire :shock: so I was just wondering if I had to worry about which style connector was on the parts that I...
