I'm starting a thread of the resurrection of my 37 Plymouth 1/2 ton pickup. This is no restoration, I'm just going to get it running and driveable. The truck currently has a small block 302 Ford with C4 auto and 8 inch rear end. This is the list of things that need to happen.
1) get motor running
2) fuel system, had a metal can in the bed for a tank, need to find and mount a tank under the bed.
3) previous idiot actually torched the rear 1/2 of the leaf springs so its sitting with a 4x4 wood block between the axle and frame. I need to get 2 leaf springs and rear shackles and fix rear end pinion angle.
4) go through brakes to make sure it can stop
5) buy a dry cell battery and mount it behind the seat, it was in the bed with the fuel tank
6) clean out interior, fabricate mount for seat, seat was just sitting in the cab.
7) electrical, lights and that stuff so it's street legal

Got the seat cleaned up and in place, I will mount it tomorrow. Seat is the third seat from a 69 Plymouth B body wagon.
