My M-37 has a Chrysler industrial engine 230 which I installed in it...everybody said that the tube should be pressed in, but it's bolted in. We may never know!

Wittenberg Motors used to do a lot fire trucks, water trucks and other trucks for the logging industry back in the day. Lord knows I bought a lot of parts from them for my M-37. They had a similar front clip for deuces and five tons but I never saw one on a M-37 down at their place. They also didn'...

My pleasure!

T, I don't have a 251 manifold in my hands, but from all the pics I've seen of them it should be easy to identify compared to the 230 manifold.

Sorry Tom, had to rub it in

Bahh!

Thanks. I there are one or two cargo box end curtains, but not the big canvas cover. Also came with a new seat cover and a heater(or part of one) that looks NOS.

It fits inside too, major bonus!

Is that a cargo box canvas end curtain I spy in the bed?
