The truck was purchased in 1988 after I advertised in the Selkirk paper for an M37 with a winch. At the time I owned another M37 that did not have a winch and I wanted to put a winch on that truck, as it was a very good truck. However, the new acquisition was stored in Winnipeg and the truck I wanted to put the winch on was stored out at the lake. Because of the close proximity of the new truck, I started taking it apart and eventually it was disassembled completely. After that, I had the pieces steam cleaned and then sand blasted. All the major components were painted by Frontier Toyota body shop when it was on Fort Street. The engine was rebuilt by Piston Ring and the transmission and transfer case by Central Standard Transmission. The winch was done by Prichard Engineering. I put all the pieces back together. The truck safety inspection was done by Mobile Brake and Clutch.The M37 was used by the Military up to about 1978. It is rated at 1500 lbs cross county and 3000 lbs on the highway. The Canadian military purchase these trucks from late 1951 to 1955. In the USA they acquired these trucks starting in late 1951 and continued acquisitions through 1968. Mechanical parts for the trucks are readily available from dealers in the States and many but not all body parts are still available. Tailgates, front fenders, driver’s side doors, are difficult to find NOS.

The trucks have fairly low gear ratios, 5.83, to enhance the cross-country capability, resulting in lower highway speed. Many owners that are not driving cross country have changed the differential gears to 4.89 which result in slightly higher road speeds. Most American trucks do not have a hard top and were equipped with a canvas top that can be removed. The hard top is just bolted on and could be changed to a soft top.

The military had various add-on kits to adapt these trucks to various conditions or uses. For example, there is a fording kit to allow these trucks to drive through water up to the depth of the drivers head. The fording kit is included with this truck and has extensions to extend the exhaust pipe and air breather vertically to allow operation under water. All the wiring harness connectors are individually water proof connectors. The spark plug wires, distributor, generator, voltage regulator, etc. were all sealed with water tight connectors. A hot water cab heater was a kit for cold weather. This kit is mounted on the left front fender. It is a NOS kit and is mounted on the truck. An Arctic heater kit was available to heat the engine coolant and circulate hot water through a heat exchanger in the battery box. This equipment was fired with gas from the fuel tank and electric fuel pump. One of these units is mounted at the bottom of the passenger front fender. This get is also NOS(new old stock). The arctic heater kit, because it was gas fired allowed the operator to warm up the engine anywhere without electricity.

Dodge Challenger Shakedown: '71 body, new guts

Tue, Nov 1 2016

While Jeep has created a number of vintage-bodied custom vehicles with modern components, this year's SEMA show plays host to Dodge's take on the idea. The Shakedown concept began life as a 1971 Challenger and ditched almost everything in it, including the engine and chassis. What's left is a modern car with a retro look. The chassis was a particularly complicated part of the job, since the Challenger was originally a unibody car. However, Dodge chose to separate the Challenger's iconic body from its structural parts, and moved it onto a custom, one-off chassis from which the body can be removed as needed. The chassis also carries lowered suspension, Challenger Hellcat brakes, and a 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 connected to a six-speed manual transmission from the Viper. Dodge also installed the engine using the new Hemi engine swap kit from Mopar. With the shaker cold-air intake and custom exhaust, the Shakedown's powerplant makes 485 horsepower. View 13 Photos The body itself received plenty of tweaking as well. Dodge shaved off the drip rails, door handles, and turn signals for a cleaner look, and also fitted the grille, headlights, and taillights from a 2017 Challenger. The whole thing is finished in matte black paint with a "vibrating" stripe offset on the left side. The Shakedown also gets 20-inch Slingshot rear wheels and a pair of custom 19-inch versions for the front. On each fender is a bright red "392" decal that uses the same font as the labels on classic Mopars 360 cubic-inch V8s. Inside, the Shakedown gets the same radical upgrade as the chassis. Two Viper seats accompany a Viper steering wheel, and the rear seats are gone altogether. The Viper gearbox is shifted with a Challenger Hellcat gear knob, and carbon-fiber accents and leather adorn the wheel, door panels, instrument panel and center console.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.

Chop the top of your new Dodge Viper for $35,000

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

We have good news, and we have bad news. First, the good: It's now possible to get a brand-new Dodge Viper roadster, which is nice, considering we're in the dead of summer and many of us like wind-in-the-hair motoring. Now, the bad: This is not a factory option from the automaker, instead coming courtesy of an aftermarket company called Prefix Performance, and that means it's going to cost you some serious coin.
Called Medusa, this drop-top Viper was created without the knowledge or consent of Dodge, but that's probably fine because Prefix works with the automaker already for the final preparation of the American supercar, including paint. According to the company, the current, fifth-gen Viper was built with a convertible version in mind, so no chassis strengthening is required. From the looks of the somewhat grainy photos available, the conversion appears of very high quality.
Want one? Well, that means you're going to need to procure a Viper - Prefix has 10 units ready for transformation as it stands - and that's going to cost at the very least $102,485. Then, you'll need to write a check for an additional $35,000 for Prefix to surgically remove the car's roof. Thing is, for that kind of cash, a prospective owner could buy, among other very nice options, a Viper hardtop and a loaded Miata, or a Corvette Stingray convertible and several pockets full of change. Or, perhaps a new Viper hardtop and a used, first-gen Viper convertible?
