Building my 1953 Dodge M37 Engine with 26,366 miles for the 1949 Power Wagon

This M37 was bought at a closed bid county Highway Department Auction in MO.  The truck hadn't run or been used in a few years, but the engine was not stuck.  The Engine was apparently re-built by the Military in January, 1971 by the Pueblo Army Depot.

  Pulled the M's old 230 L-Head engine out and scraped and power washed most of the gunk off, as well as removed the 24V Generator and Starter.  Discovered that even though the truck was low in miles, the Engine had been rebuilt just like the Transfercase, but 5 months later.  Could be the Engine and Transfercase aren't even the originals for the truck, and fresh rebuilt engines were installed.  05/03/2009
