Tranfer case/transmission oil question

I've looked through some of the different threads and am I right in concluding and 50 engine oil will work in the tranfer and trans? I couldn't find 50 gear oil any place today except at Kenworth service center. They would only sell me a 5 gal pail for $150. I found Valvoline 50 motor oil at NAPA. C...

Re: brake system questions

Thanks. Here's another question, I don't recall what tools were issued with the M37 such as jack, lug wrench etc. Were they in a bag in the side box compartment? I have the lug wrench but nothing else. Where's the best place to look for a set? I'm planning on going to the MVPA show in Crawfordsville...

Re: brake system questions

Thanks to all for your replies. I don't mind manual brakes as long as they work. My first several cars were manual brake systems. I think my first power brakes were on a 1966 Plymouth Fury III.

Re: brake system questions

Well, there's the rub, I want my cake and eat it too. The last time I drove one of these was in Nam, speed wasn't much of an issue, however, in Germany from Nuremberg to Stuttgart on the Autobahn, in the winter, no heater, 45mph sucked big time. I have just purchased the heater from Mr. Bizal along ...

Re: M37 parts list

I think I'm going to need a brake drum. I've got a problem with brake pedal pulse, I need to tear into it to see what's going on but in the mean time, I need to see what a usable drum will cost me. I am going to the Indiana meet next week to browse also. I just bought the truck and starting to find ...
