i have recently completed my 1963 m37 conversion. it now has the power and safety that i always wanted in my driver dodge. my truck has a fully rebuilt 360 v8 from a lrt, with all new accessories -edelbrock carb,
pertronix trigger and coil,
gm one wire alternator,
mini nippon starter,
optima battery w- cutoff
flex fan.
rebuilt a/c compressor mounted for future addition of tire inflator system
power steering.
rebuilt trans
489 gears
helitool discs on all 4 corners - 2 chamber mc
5 radial mudder tires
new fuel & brakd lines
$300 in cab boat heater and
full front & rear canvas are included. truck has stock winch
teak wood troop seats
pioneer tools
12v converted using orig wires.
turn signals.
snorkle kit - not installed
winshield washer kit not installed
8xxx miles on truck orig + 5800 miles on stock rebuit engine which is a perfect runner and included in deal. truck just came back from professional well known locak exhaust bender $600 job. duals out the back flowmasters. nice job. truck is a b1 model 1963 and is in very good condition. i am offering it for sale as my interests are changing and job travel keeps me from working on the truck as often as i want to. it took me a long time to complete the conversion (its done well) and i cant devote the time needed to finish projects quickly.
I think the truck is great as is, but depending on your use, you might want to paint it do light bodywork. its painted mack b model green and has scratches, small dents & light rust some areas. the front fenders have rust under the headlights - common -and along the edges. the passenger door has a spot of rust in the center of the door. for an east coast dodge, its in great shape body wise. i know how much i have in the truck and know what it is worth. Id sell it for $8500 which is way less than someone would have to spend to convert their m37 to a strong running modernized truck. truck is located on long island. email me with questions. i will take pictures and post them with joe (and pay for the ad) but i wanted to get the message out here and get the ball rolling. thanks,
