Re: What do you think?
looks great. i'm not a big fan of not original equipment but sometimes it just makes sense. Those look great and dont look way out of place, plus probably much better than originals. just think if your m37 was still in the motor pool, they would have already installed things like that probably. Plus...

Re: My WOW is becoming a W/eW
Really like how you made it fit through the front bumper instead of a sorta 2 piece bumper. Looks great. I'm sure you don't plan on pulling to its max often as i would worry about the bumper bending where its mounted. As you know most winches are mounted in frame extensions and not directly to the b...

Re: My WOW is becoming a W/eW
Very nice looking. I do like the welds better. Looks great!!!
I have a warn 18,000 lb 24 electric winch I bought to make an A-frame on my M931. Since then bought a M543A2 so no need. Thought might sell but you just gave me a great idea to install it on our M37. Thanks for pictures

Re: 1953 M37
Not an M37 but cool truck anyway. Just got it this past spring, like the M37 have had no time to work on it. It runs and everything works. Just needs lots of little things including painting like most MVs do. Its a 1967 M543A2 wrecker

Re: 1953 M37
Battery box lid was missing. Here is new one i made with little arm to hold up. Since that picture Ive replaced the battery terminals with the permanent ones, used those at time cause had them.

Re: 1953 M37
Here is where I fixed the threads for the inside door panel cover. Several holes had the little threaded sqaures pulled out. I just made new ones and welded in place.

Re: 1953 M37
Also forgot I made a new battery box lid, which can be seen in the first picture. and little hinged arm like the original I think, to hold it up. Changed oil and filter and checked oil pressure with manual gauge since there are no gauges in the truck at this time. Was 40 psi and let run until warm s...
