Of course you will want to get it running an ck the condition of the brakes and drivetrain first, however any of the orignal military elect. system is readily avialable from MV parts dealers (go to the links on this site for a start). Although your wiring harness is trash, most of the other parts li...

In the early days of the MV hobby it was thought there were only a few colors: WWII flat OD 34087,Navy grey 36176, post war semi gloss od 24087, post war marine corps semi gloss green 34052, and air force strata blue 15045.

The m-42 command kit was a bed tarp w/ plastic windows in the sides an b/o curtians that could cover them (from the outside so it looked like an ordinary top)and a different rear curtian that zippered up the middle so it wasnt necessary to roll it up or take it off to get in an out.

I dont believe there was any formula to the 60 and 120 oil gauges, just what each vehicle manufacturer chose to use. And if thats the Sid I know he is the mvcc's(mvpa now) orignal m-37 expert an has been in business for a long time.

In reference to the first post the orignal oil gauge for the m-37 is supposed to be the 120# gauge, you can change it to the 60# range gauge but be aware that each range gauge has a matching sending unit and if you mix them up you will still have an incorrect reading.

In the early days engines were bolted right to the frame, chrysler first made an used what we now call motor mounts and for the purposes of marketing called it 'floating power' it was a big improvement over other cars of the time for overall comfort in the vehicle.

Yes it is an old M.V.C.C. decal, it reorganized under the current name M.V.P.A. (they still use that same decal) its the largest military vehicle club, you can visti their site here
