Re: Excessive horn vibration...

There is supposed to be a piece of cork in between the brace and the hood sheet metal.

Re: Clutch slipping....

If those clevis parts are the same size as the brake and shifter, I have some spares I can make one with.

Re: Clutch slipping....

The thought of dropping the tranny or pulling the power pack makes me dizzy. I'd make an adjustable rod if need be.

Re: Clutch slipping....

Hey Gary...didn't get to do any work until late yesterday! I first looked at adjusting the pedal but there's really more adjustment on it. So I removed the clutch cover and took out the spacers between the flywheel and pressure plate. Now I am back where we were when we put them in; the throwout bea...

Clutch slipping....

Now that I have around 550 miles on my engine with new clutch, it is slipping enough on hills to be noticeable. I put a new, relined clutch plate on it and had to install 1/8th inch washers to allow the throwout bearing to reach the fingers on the pressure plate. Could it be that with only 500 miles...

Re: Plans for 2015

In 2015, I"ll be cheering everyone on...especially Bob....to get some progress done on their projects. I still have that 1% left on the AF 37 and I am building another bay on the shop to store the 37 and the Chevy M6. Then it's off of M series for a bit while I restore my 66 T-5 "Mustang&q...

Here's my truck 7 years ago: http://apollosaturn.smugmug.com/M37/M37-As-Purchased/i-txz2bBK/0/L/DSC_1911a-L.jpg Here it is today: http://apollosaturn.smugmug.com/M37/Air-Force-Blue-Parts-Progress/i-Q5LFTzk/0/L/20140927_173611-L.jpg As I said, roughly $5K in it.

Re: How much $$$ you got in YOUR truck?!!

I paid $800 for mine and probably have added $5K to it. My truck was stripped of so many things.

Re: Dash Markings

From what I have seen, that varies widely with respect to the operating command's preferences. I found no evidence of those on my truck.

Re: My 1953 Air Force M37 Build Blog

Midwest, Army Jeep parts, etc., sell those gauges. They are nice repros. Be sure of which sender you have for the oil pressure as I bought the four gauges and then discovered I needed a 60psi gauge, not a 120.

Re: legality of truck bed passenger carry

It varies from state to state. I only plan to use mine in parades at slow speeds so it's not much of an issue.

Re: Patching a tube....

I meant no disrespect Charles or for Cuz either. He's sorta dropped out of sight. We need all viewpoints here. I have sent the tire/wheel to a truck company to have it fixed. I just don't have the free time to experiment with it. Plus I was afraid I would ruin the rim. I'll have more time for learni...
