In the early ORD9 version of the manuals there are some close up pics of the interior and you can tell that the seats are covered in a grain textured vinyl type material. I beleive that at least for some time the trucks came from the factory w/ such a covering and that canvas was just a more expeide...

I think the LED lights are only avial as the larger type composite lights. However these are now avial through the usuall lighting suppliers like grote, signal stat, trucklite. Ask to see their catalog at your local parts store. I found them in the catalog at a napa store.

Also note the spec. stamped on the sender, there are 2 diff oil gauges for mseries one 0-60 other 0-120 the senders for these look alike but are calibrated differently.

Replacing the points/cond isnt fun even if u take the trouble to remove the inner fender liner. Technically point gap (dwell) affects timing so as the points rubbing block wears and the gap changes so does timing. By utilizing an electronic system the dwell never changes and so neither does the timi...

Just a note: the fuel filter was moved into the tank after serial #80027049 and the firewall mounted noise filter was moved into the dist. after ser. #80042293

I expect any number of the mv vendors will have a mech. type regulator or ck. on ebay. However if you change from the (flat looking) solid state type to the (taller) mech. type, I think you will have to change the regulator to dash harness and switch the volt(batt-gen) gauge for a amp gauge.

The dodge serial number is stamped into the frame. The army registration number is on the hood sides, under many layers of paint if you can ever sucessfully uncover them. Otherwise unless you have a very good friend in TACOM (Tank Automtive command)with acess to old records, you never will know the ...

I beleive they found little real need for the hand primers on the dash, an so deleted them(also to save money). Just using the hand choke is enough to get the truck started, unless it sat long enough for the fuel in the carb to evaporate then there was the hand lever on the fuel pump for that. I had...

One may be a car engine, the 230 appeared in all chrysler products of the time, but some diff. occured between cars and truck applications. One is the very head itself which has a letter cast into it on the top toward the back denoting the div. it was made for: DT was dodge truck, D was dodge, P was...

Did the truck have a solid state reg. on it before, or the older larger mechanical type?

I had never seen anything that plugs into it. I think they expected some things to be developed for that use an none ever came along so they deleted it in later production.

The dash panels should interchange w/ all jeeps an trucks under a duece it is a standard, the duces and larger had more gauges an so a larger panel. Other than that the diff is that they went from the metal douglas connectors to the rubber packard type wire connectors, the dash light assy changed at...

Both 37 an 37b1's use the same pintle hook, they must rotate to allow
articulation w/ a trailer attached during off road use.

The earliest trucks had a grease cup instead of an actuall zerk. They are hard to find since during rebuilds they got replaced usually.

Disc brakes require much more foot pressure to apply than do drum brakes, drum brakes are self energizing and disc arent. All cars equipped w disc brakes are power assist( with the exception of the tiniest of cars). This is required to insure any driver can apply enough braking force in any situatio...
