How about someone posting a picture of a M37 with radio equipment. A retired Army guy told me that all the trucks would have had radios. Same guy said that some radios were mounted on the troop seat behind the driver.

Carter, You definitely captured the highlights of the rally. I was amazed by amount of work, time and $$$ put into alot of the vehicles there. What caught my eye was the M35 gun truck with all the machine guns, I bet that guy got some looks going down the highway. My son and I can't wait to go back ...

How long have you owned your M37 and how many miles have you driven your truck? I have owned my truck for 2 years, 2 months and I have driven it 1937 miles as of today. Ro...
