Good job and thanks for sharing all your research. The M37 is one of my favorite vehicles and glad to see so many of them still exist. They are not that expensive used because stock they only go about 45 mph. To have one for street use you should do a frame-off restoration and change lots of parts.
Wow, great review! I was a mechanic in U.S.Army '90's-'00's and didn't know these existed. 😲 About six months ago this truck came up on TH-cam. Absolutely love the damn thing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your research! Obviously thorough! I like the wall turned notepad :-) That rig is begging for a Moab visit on Jeep Easter weekend...there would be a lot of crying and tooth grinding...
My father used to have a dodge power wagon just like this one.He never once had problems with the rear end or front end.It had the flat head six with a 4 speed standard transmission.
I am looking to purchase one of these brutes for a restore project in the next couple years so I am doing my research now to be ready. I live in the snow belt in New York so a truck like this will go along nicely with the ex army 1977 W300 Dodge I already have. Great video man, you have built a beautiful rig! Thanks for taking the time to pass along so much good information.
Great job. Thanks for the details. Mine has a 6L GM ls, 4.89 diffs, and 9.00x16 bias ply tires on stock rims. Fun to drive with power steering power brakes and automatic transmission. 2000 rpm at 50 mph.
You need to make a video of it running so we can see that rig in action! I liked your video; lots of good info. I have a '53 sitting behind the garage that I'm itching to do a restmod on.
I have a 66 power wagon with a 251 and i like what you were saying about the oil filtration system. i need to look into that. Thanks for the video and tour.
Lower driver side of the block 3/4 of the way back. It should be like a flat spot with two drilled threaded holes or if it does not have it available it’ll just be a blank plate or threadless holes.
wow dude you got all serious about it. Good stuff. My film company just bought two power wagons as our fleet vehicles, now the boss wants one of these. They have been the most fun trucks you could ever imagine, especially the carryall. We have a stock 47 survivor, a restored 49 and a restomod carryall with a hemi and m46 tranny on the same driveline.
Hi Justin, fantastic set up. I have the same engine in my 1961 Australian dodge truck. And it’s currently running the stock E7T2 carb. I’m going to swap it to the 32/36 as you recommend. I am going to put extractor headers on. Not sure if you are aware but Langdon stovebolts do an attachment that bolt on under the stock inlet manifold and heat it with water from a base connected to thermostat housing to keep inlet manifold hot. Neat little set up for $30. I’m in Australia so probably not going to worry about installing it as we don’t get your winters here. Thanks for doing all that research on the carb set ups. Fantastic information!! Cheers
diesel Blane I have that exact same setup for another truck it's a two-wheel drive sm465 in a small block Chevy that I built I never put it in but I have all the stuff I wanted to keep this truck a flathead just cuz I think it's rad to have a flathead that can hang haha
Cool, I have a 230 industrial in mine, I was looking at that Weber set up on Stovebolt too. I'm swapping my gears to 4.89s this summer. There are a few shops that will make any rim you want but it has the flat face, Stockton rims used to swap the face of the original onto that but that guy died as well, I think any of custom fab people will do it if you ask. Cheaper hummer tires would be good, I like the tall look of the 16" rim Michelins, but expensive as well, although retreadable.
Great info. I am thankful for it. One item that could be improved is to tell your camera person to approximate the camera to the item instead of trying to zoom in from a distance. The Crab video was very interesting and informative, but the camera zoom did not allow for detail. Thank you for the info. Great work!
Justin, I have so many questions I'm not sure where to start! I'm creating a channel just to comment on this. Your truck is incredible. I just stumbled into owning a '52 M37 this past September in central Mass. I actually made it to Bob's just before the snow started to fly and got to spend a few hours with him. He was so knowledgeable about these trucks and it sounds like you are too. Along with the history lesson, I got a bed from him that I think will be workable. I've got a long ways to go before mine is running and driving but that is one good-looking M you've put together. Any chance the yellow truck in the photo above the bench is what you started with? Looking forward to any more videos you put together and definitely appreciate all the detailed info.
thks for the reply on water problem here is the prob. all gaskets have been replaced no way for water to be leaking into tank the cap has a new gasket i got this truck dec 2011 iv had this problem all along i have removed the inspected it nothing found to tell how its getting in there. i set a boat tank in the back of the bed put the same gas in no problem i switched gas stations still water
Any chance I can see how you mounted the front engine mounts? I am trying to put a CDN military 251 with original transmission into a stock M37. I like the radiator solution with the electric fan. I was worried about how to move the radiator like the Canadians did. Many more questions if possilbe.
ChaparralDenizen nope the bell housing and clutches all the same you just need the correct flywheel depending on which engine you have bolt pattern wise
Hey Justin - what jets did you use on the new carb? Do you have any pictures of the install and linkage you made up? Im pondering this conversion. Thanks - Vince
I bought the carburetor from Langdon stovebolt and he said he jetted it properly for my engine but I have not brought it to the dyno yet so I will let you know after the dyno
Great info! Just a little blurry. Thank for taking the time to make it and upload it. Do you have a link to your friend from SLC channel? Can’t find it.
Justin Dearborn Ok. Yes, I am familiar with his channel and his truck modifications. Awesome truck. And yours is very cool too. About a month ago I bought a 1963 M37B1 and I am in the early stages of the learning process. Thanks!
That truck looks amazing, great job. Looking to start something similar. Any idea what your total costs have been for this m37? Wish I could find one like this for sale. I personally wouldn't sell it but any idea what a truck like yours would sell for. Thanks in advance.
Andrew Last it is hard to say how much money I have into it because it's been such a long ongoing project but if I had to guess I would say I have 11-13k into it gears cost alot haha
jorge gonzalez The fastest I’ve ever been in it is 72mph, But it’s not recommended it’ll cruise 60-64 all day long, I never put disc brakes in it because the factory drums work great never had a problem never desired to replace them
Hey Justin, thank you for the run down on your M37. My best friend left me his M37 that he had just finished restoring. The first mod I want to do is to move to the 489 ring and pinion set. LOL, the 489s will be my blue rope on this puppy. I am not as handy as you so I would like to sent the differential to someone like Robert Stall to do. Finding the 489s by itself hard to do. Do you have contact info for Bob?
Frank Davidson Providing the gas cap is sealed up it’s probably the cork gasket on the top of the gas tank with a pick up and sending unit is it has that cover in the bed to access it it is not watertight and if that gasket is blown out water will sit on the fuel tank and run right in it you should have a drain on the back center of the tank put the front end up on some rampsLet it sit overnight then drain some off into a glass jar and you can see the water separated
for $7,500 it would have to be pretty excellent if there is any rust or any mechanical issues I would not pay that, is it a bone-stock original? Has it been restored once? What's the truck story
I wouldn't pay anywhere near 7500 these things aren't super rare you can get them cheaper it would have to be in very very good condition for me to pay that I wouldn't pay any more than 3,500 myself
Justin Dearborn Ha Ha..yea I thought it was from the wavy camera but not sure...are those military 37 inch tires?..I'm thinking of getting some on my wagoneer.
You mentioned that the Lock Right clicks, but not badly, and it doesn't affect the driving characteristics too much. I'm considering putting in a Lock Right (actually getting Bob Stahl to do it, like you did) in my '49 Power Wagon, which has the exact same differential as your M37, but I'm a little concerned about the things I hear about Lock Rights and their funny behavior when going around corners, or when driving on a wet or slippery surface. Not sure if you have any other comment on you experience with it? Thanks.
Well, that's good news. Have you driven it on wet roads much, or icy roads? How about mud? Not sure how long you've been running your Lock Rights. Apparently they can have a tendency to cause the back end of the truck to slide sideways and make the rear swing around ahead of the front end a little easier on those surfaces, compared to unlocked diffs. Thanks again.
did you have to re-jet the Weber 32/36, I'm looking to fit one of these on my WC62 at the carter is worn out and funnel is probably more efficient way of delivering fuel. mine still all stock 230 /T214 engine.
spannerdodger I have not dynotune the truck yet it is my plan I just haven't done it yet it doesn't seem to be excessively rich or excessively lean my spark plugs are a good color but I don't know the actual AFR yet
Hi Justin, I've just converted my wc62 230 engine to run on the 32/36 setup, messing around with jet sizes at the moment im running with a 160 in the main and a 155 in the secondary, 50 in the primary idle and a 60 in the sec idle, its pulling like a train now massive improvement. what jets did you end up at on yours ?
Yo puse un 251a un M37 Es una adaptacion bien facil y es una maravilla como se comporta el vehiculo con el 251 !, anda mejor y es hasta mas economico de gasolina. El dueño actual,Es una amigo mio de años , lo quiso como de fabrica y de nuevo volvio el Dodge original ,pero Ay ! no anda como con el 251...

juan asanelli The 251 is a much better engine in every way, the stock dodge 230 is a turd 💩, if he drove the 230 he may change his mind there pretty slow
@@justindearborn7275 YES SIR ! A great pitty The 251 was a Industrial engine for a welder Hobarth that never in use The dodge m37 idling in 3a ... Pretty!
You know what's obnoxious, your video being out of focus so often. I really hope you improved this significantly because I couldn't even finish the video.
Greetings Justin, I'm installing a 251 in my 62 M-37B1. The water pump fan is abt 4 inches too high and is well into the top radiator tank. I really need your help. Please send your email & or phone. Thank you for any help you could come up with. When I tell you my story, you won't believe it. Hang in there, Mike
thanks everyone this is the first video I've ever made, it was a fight for me to come up with all this information over the last 15 years so I wanted to let everybody else have it easily whatever helps get these trucks back on the road!
for this project I didn't want to go the V8 route, I wanted to be able to get double the stock HP but still retain the cool as hell flathead engine I speculate I'm 135-140HP and 240TQ I think that is a decent guess until I get it to the dyno in a couple months
I'll be really interested to see what dyno numbers you get. Of course, you'll be reading rear wheel power and torque, after all the drive train losses, so it might be hard to compare to the original factory numbers that would have been measured with the engine on a dyno stand, not in a vehicle. I'm building a 265 with dual carb intake and header exhaust, custom camshaft, moderately high compression and electronic ignition for a '49 Power Wagon. I may put it on a dyno eventually, but of course, I'll also be reading the rear wheel power and torque, after all the drive train losses. Fun stuff!
Rick Calabrese nope there just stock brakes with newer shoes with more modern friction material the work great never desired more brake power they work well
Good job and thanks for sharing all your research.
The M37 is one of my favorite vehicles and glad to see so many of them still exist.

for this project I didn't want to go the V8 route, I wanted to be able to get double the stock HP but still retain the cool as hell flathead engine I speculate I'm 135-140HP and 240TQ I think that is a decent guess until I get it to the dyno in a couple months
I'll be really interested to see what dyno numbers you get. Of course, you'll be reading rear wheel power and torque, after all the drive train losses, so it might be hard to compare to the original factory numbers that would have been measured with the engine on a dyno stand, not in a vehicle. I'm building a 265 with dual carb intake and header exhaust, custom camshaft, moderately high compression and electronic ignition for a '49 Power Wagon. I may put it on a dyno eventually, but of course, I'll also be reading the rear wheel power and torque, after all the drive train losses. Fun stuff!
I'll get another video out soon I've just been busy I'll do a driving one
you on FB?
Did you upgrade the brakes?

nope there just stock brakes with newer shoes with more modern friction material the work great never desired more brake power they work well
