I think if you are still using the stock engine and transfer case, You are stuck with what you got. contact http://mseriesrebuild.com/ and ask them if there is something available. the specialize in these things.

check on page 7 on my build you'll see the belt reroute. I had to do that so the rad motor would clear the engine.

One thing I see already is you cannot run that fan. I also removed the fan mounting bracket and made a new one to reroute the belt.

I have an annoying issue with the seals that are attached to the cab roof for the doors. You screw on the metal piece and you slip in the rubber seals after. If you do it with no glue they pop out every time the window hits it when you close the door. I've tried weather strip adhesive and that don't...

Thanks w30bob. I read most of the pages and It looks like this is dated August 1963. That is maybe when all the M's were retrofitted with signals.

No. I already checked but found nothing.

It's on the site. Just click on complete set of manuals for M37.

you were right 52 M-52. There was a MWO on that. It was 9-2300-20 for standard signal light installation and 9-2300-263 for alternative signal installation. I cannot find a date these were brought out but this tells me the older M37 did not com with signals. I believe the M37B1 did. tbone 1004 put m...

Did the M37 ever have factory installed signal lights? Were they all retro fitted with signals later in life? In the manual it shows and mentions a front ...

Just reading through you blog and being you are thinking of Cummins caught my eye. I have a custom M37 running a 93 6BT and I was reading a concern about power and mileage. I understand that the 4BT is under powered for my liking so I went 6BT. The 6BT went realitively well and would cruise at 65-70...

Hi Bob. You have a very good point. Myself, as same as you in one point, is that I didn't build this truck to sell. If I did I may have sold it then and there. I have said to my family that I will never sell this truck for whatever money, Unless it's stupid money. We do have people up here that cash...

The build is here under the builder forum called "Building a retro M37".

I was just on facebook and there was a lot of "discussion" about restoring to original and saving these trucks they way they were. I am in the car business and Sometimes a car needs to be customized to be worth something. I don't know what a M37 with no special history behind it is worth. ...

I just took these. They are the original brackets, cut off and welded to the plate on the frame. that way I used the old mount locations and the running board brackets were use able at the same time. https://s20.postimg.cc/j0u9l4irh/20140312_181245.jpg https://s20.postimg.cc/xqf3pml19/20140312_18130...

the track width is about 4" wider I think, I don't have original diff to compare. These diffs are out of a 93 Dodge W250 so whatever the Dodge specs are.
