1953 M37 Project 85% complete
This is a project we started 7 years ago with our 82 year old Dad to keep him active and involved. We couldn’t have made it this far without the advice and input of this forum. There are two complete trucks. Henry, an Army issued non-winch truck with a little rust in the cab sills which has been rem...

an old soldier's documents ......
I just got my third M37 (1963)because as you all know you can never have enough. I got it because it has a winch and a CCKW hardtop, both of which I need to finish my 1951.

Re: Battery Box mounting

Re: Holes in the bed?
thanks for all the responses. the album is under Jim O'Brien. I can weld "any hole I can step across" as my instructors used to say but the holes in question look so factory and the overall condition of the bed is so good that I hesitated to just fill them in without researching them first...
