Are you doing your own wiring harness? Modifying a stock? I'm trying to plan my wiring right now so any examples/pics would be cool.Quote:

Perfect, thanks for info. Looking forward to the pictures. Did you reuse the stock light switch?Quote:

I feel like I made some progress today. I got the windows, door panels, levers, and top installed, wired the brake lights, charging system, ignition, heater, and starting system. I also replaced the driver side kingpin on my Dodge M37
Today I hooked up the shifter and mounted my claxton horn.

Whats the deal with the klaxon horn? Where did you get it, how is the sound?
It was given to me years ago. I used it on my CJ7 for 3yrs. It is from the mid-50's (12v). It is loud and sounds awesome. No repop sounds anything close to it! I have bought the plastic repops for other vehicles and have been disappointed.
I googled it and found a few different horns on youtube. Pretty cool soundQuote:

it is simple to wire. It has been taking me a while to be finished because I am waiting to get my front turn signals back from being converted to LED
I wired up my fuel sending unit, hooked up my oil pressure gauge and put 4gal of gas in my truck and fired it up. Purred like a kitten, which is good since I sorted out the engine before taking the truck apart. I am excited!
Bled the brakes today, topped off the tranny and power steering. Ah, what a luxury power steering feels like after driving my Deuce, M37, and 71 Challenger for the past 3 months. The welded line for the power steering does no leak either lol
and matching coffee cup :-D

I got a temp plate on my truck today, brought my original windshield to the glass company to use as a template for a new one, got one headlight mounted and wired, finally got my LED converted original turn signals back from Whelen, and I got the main portion of my front bumper welded together. I ran out of steam today :-(
I also made some progress on my M37. I bought an Isuzu 4BD1T 3.9L diesel, got an NV4500 trans from Mikel, Mikel also made me a stub shaft from the trans to t-case, and he also machined me an adapter to convert my stock NP200 to center output w/ 1410 u-joint. Thank you Mikel.
Sweet, where do we find out more on the m37 project?

I haven't started on the truck yet, just collecting parts.
I drove my truck to work for the first time today. Tomorrow I will mount the brushguard, bumper, oil change, install correct rear shocks, and look at the carb

I wore goggles. Big goofy ones too. Had to clear my glasses lol

I just got in my 4.88 gear set for the stock rear axle for when I put the diesel in next year. They were originally advertised as 4.56's, he realized he miss calculated the ratio, called me and asked if I still wanted him to ship the gear set. Since the gear set was only $45 I told him yes. He even sent me back $15 for the mistake. I can live with the lack of 5mph on the top speed for $30
My Cummins air horn finally arrived

I got a new torque converter in for my 6BT swap in my M715

My favorite site when I get home from work... new parts in a cardboard box! What is your time frame for the 6bt swap?
I will have the 6BT in before New Years.... I hope.
