Fabricated a bracket to mount the Santa Cruz SC-5 Universal Gunlock. I then installed the Gunlock and But Plate and it works great. 2015-04-25 | |

The Annual Indiana Dodge Truck Rally was again a great event. Thanks to Pam & Ron R and Leondia & Mark W! The only thing I did to the M other than removing the full canvas top I'd installed for the winter was to discover the battery isolator had stopped working. So to get by I simply bypassed it for now. Great Food, and friends were enjoyed by all. Ron had a friday meet and greet at his shop. Saturday was a feast to the eyes with Mark's Power Wagon Barn, what a wonderful place! 2015-05-16 | |

Since I no longer had the W500 Fire Truck and still had the PA system I'd picked up at a swap meet for it, I decided to give it a home in the M37. Not a lot of place to install it but the 100 Watt speaker fit under the hood. The PA/Signal Generator I'll not (yet) permanently mount, but connect it as I want/need it. Since the trim to Indiana confirmed a little bad spot in the steering box (do to some hard wheeling at Flatnasty) I decided to install the replacement box I picked up last year. Unfortunately I found that the rebuilt bod had hose flare repair fitting installed which caused the hoses to extend further into the frame than in a stock box. So the box would no longer bolt up as the pressure hose was hitting the steering reinforcement/mounting flange added to the frame. So out came the drill, air saw and dremel tool. I added a slot in the bracket/flange, but it's in an area that should not effect the overall strength as when I did the PS conversion I made it a little overkill. After a little more testing I decided there was indeed an issue with the Warn Battery Isolator for the primary battery. So half of the unit was bad. I had ordered and received a new unit, a NOCO 140 Amp. As the Alternator is 140 Amp, hopefully I won't have any issues with this one. It was a tight fit, but but installed cleanly and leaves enough room for air around all sides. 2015-05-28 | |
