Going to try and save this engine, been sitting for a very long time.

So after loosing my job about a year and a half ago I had to move and get rid of my project WC-12. Luckily I got a new job and thought it was time to get a new project. Ended up finding this 1953 m37 parts truck. Thing was pretty beat but I have been slowly getting back in one piece and...

So I guess now I need to decide if I want to ditch the cab and use the one I picked up or stick it out with the beat up original. The good condition mostly rust free one is from a 1.5 ton truck. Damaged cab, just a few pics of the damaged areas. Cab front corner by sokoji posted Jul 28, 2018 at...

Yeah I will probably have to do something along those lines too as I would like power steering on this truck. I just couldn't leave the plate they had as it was very poorly done and I wasn't sure where on the frame the Vin number was. What kind of power steering box/kit did you use for your M37?

So it looks like they drove this thing pretty hard, the frame is cracked on both sides alittle behind the front crossmember.

So a previous owner decided to plate the front of the frame which covered the Vin number so I set off to cut it off. I was worried that the pitman arm would be impossible to get off since I couldn't get a puller on it because the gap had been taken up by the steel plate. Luckily with a pry bar...

Yeah all I can find is the 9.00r16 millitary take offs from Canada. Yeah I'll probably end up doing those upgrades as well, I really want to be able to drive this thing in the road.

That's a beautiful truck you got there. Is the drivetrain all stock? I was looking for some tires like that I would be interested in where you got them from. Yeah I think the half tons all had 4.89 gears. Wc-1 by sokoji posted Jul 23, 2018 at 7:53 PM
