I called a local paint supply place and tried asking for 24087, they couldn't find the number in an of their sources.

Does anyone have a PPG/DuPont/Other number or a better way of me getting the correct OD color short of having them doing a color match?

The paint is going on an M37B1.

John Bizul at Midwest Military has the washers, he can be contacted at:

Also useful for checking the exhaust temp of each cylinder among other things.

Heating up the pin area to 215 degrees with a blow torch then striking the pin with a drift punch got it moving.

I'm having trouble driving out the pins that keep the steering knuckle halves together.

I tried a flat end drift punch with only a slightly smaller diameter as the pin, but about a couple dozen blows with a 3 pound hammer and it started to deform.

Any ideas on how to drive out the pins more easily?

The drums on my truck had been removed before I got it and is missing the anchor bolt washers and anchor bolt oil washers.

Are there any sources of these that I might find locally?

Also the drums have left and right part numbers, how do I know which drums go on which side?

Here's a list of other part numbers:

I'm looking to get some pre-bent brake hard lines, I've look around briefly and see VPW sells a steel set with armor for a reasonable price.

I'd like to get stainless or instead of steel so rust isn't an issue.

Does anyone know of a source of pre-bent brake lines for the M37?

Does anyone know why the RF filter is removed when installing the solid state ignition?

Sorry I didn't proof read my response, I meant to ask which wire did you cut?

I also see some 60 AMP alternator conversion kits on ebay, are these of any use in the conversion?

Where did you source the alternator?

Which wire did you get?

Details would be appreciated!

Thanks.
