I am a fan of the new ford trucks .......

I mean I am a huge fan of making fun of all ford trucks

there is a reason I bought a 52 dodge m37
because I needed a real truck NOTa beercan on wheels

just sayin'

wiring is done all that is left for truck is gauges trailer plug 2 inch receiver hitch bolt on a couple little sheet metal bits (clutch housing cover) adjust carb fuel sender backup lights switch to turn off brake lights rubber equine mats on bed floor seatbelts and cupholders other stuff I did this...

if they were aluminum I wouldn't have bought one

think how junk they would be when that aluminum oxidizes

please don't even get me started on aluminum bob

bob I was also thinking weight reduction ......

but then I looked at the rest of the truck

mine does have a super rare weight reduction kit under the headlights

I am gonna guess again

bent fanblade
bent pulley
bolts not tightened on engine mount fanblade or or pulley
I would try putting rubber from old innertubes between all of the sheetmetal that touches
mine makes all sorts of vibrations I was told by my grandpa that it is normal

thank you this will help a lot

I think its just an old truck thing that they all do

especially army trucks they ride like lumber wagons

I cut my heat riser butterfly out when I had the manifolds apart om my truck

and it seems to start very good now that it turns over fast and has excellent spark
