Re: And what about the Dodge M42 Command?

Good Morning Suacla, I have a 1951 M37 with the complete 100 amp setup, and a functioning troupe seat mounted radio. I'll email you, and I'm happy to be of any help I can.

Re: New Speedometer Question

Re: Auxillary Power Port

Thanks for the "Connector Link" Just Me!!
I have the socket on my 51, and I have the work light that plugs into it. I don't have a good picture of either of them though. If still needed, I can get a decent picture for anyone interested?

Re: SNOW ON THE WAY...

I came across a set of heavy duty truck type chain tighteners that would look good on my truck. They have heavy springs incorporated in the assembly for each wheel. I don't have a picture of them at this point. I have them glass bead blasted and hope to paint them shortly. I'm guessing tire chains a...

Re: Bumper lettering and stenciling

While it is great to retain and honor the original identity under which a vehicle served, having your unit ID on your own truck is Awesome!

Re: Help with Component ID

Finally had a chance to post a picture of the engine stamping in this truck. It is the "V41 Up For Grabs", that I was hoping to be all original. Still haven't figured out where this engine came from, but I think it's Civilian
