- After eight years of working on this M37 I am finally able to register it and drive it on the road. The truck has been running for a few years now but just hasn't been road worthy, until now.
As I pull into the Home Depot parking lot the things start shaking like crazy. Not sure what happened to the footage from that part, but the drive shaft had come unbolted from the yoke on the transfer case and was holding on be some threads! I'm lucky I didn't drop it. Few new bolts and problem solved. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
At that speed with the front end locked is torture to the transfercase
A hint for shifting gears, always double clutch your downshift, and be sure to pause in neutral momentarily when upshifting. The old time transmission has widely spaced gear ratios, and they gobble up synchros quickly if you rush things. M37 was my first truck, I am on number 3 now. My second one was a daily driver for 16 years. 🙂
i good thing you can just about ant part you need if have deep pockets some of the parts are listed as new old stock been sitting on the shelf sill in orig box --- vpw in iowa has wharehouses full of parts
One of the best videos of an M37 I've seen. Short of being in one, this feels just like the real thing and the dashboard and tilting front windows look awesome.
Luckily, you don't have a mirror that'd let you see the queue of cars piling up behind. That would spoil all the fun!
I'm as green with envy as the tractor in the garage. It's near impossible to get one of these things registered over here - unless you make it sth. like your life's mission.
I love the bare chassis back too. If I had one, I'd love to drive it like that. Not a dragster, but hey, who needs one. Added bonus: if someone steels it, well, they can't really go that far with it, can they?
Nice one 👍
mine is a 53 they all look just alike i think they stoped making them in 71-72 about the only diff is early mods. had spare tire on drivers side they went the bed in the B model i was in the korean coflict 52 out in 55 i drove a jeep and trailor hauling mortor ammo hdqs co had m37s

the steering on these trks is a little stiff but you add power steering some less than $ 500.00 SNAKE RIVER IN IDAHO had a kit i guess they still have every thing you need for that steering
i just call them castle nuts
Have you finished the truck? Would like to see more videos.
What do you have on it for a siren?
i think i will sell mine soon t old age and health has cought up with me
I got a 1952 a couple years ago, not quite done yet.
Not knowing what a Castellated nut is was the reason you lost the bolts.
Nice vid!
What year is it?
cool
