The trailer was a nice find for sure. The oak came froma new company called hmvwood.com. thats a little joke, because I own the company... I made a few sets for the M37's so I formed a small business. I kept getting requests at shows so just decided to do it to help the hoba . so far I did a birdsey...

I recently aquired an M101 3/4 ton trailer, just a short distance from me too! What made it such a cool find was 1.) it was in pretty good shape, nice metal, no major dents, and virtually no rust, 2.) it was cheap, and 3.) it is the same year (1953) as my M37! Here is a picture of it at a classic ca...

I was at a car show today and learned the Taut Line hitch for the bed. (And I used to be a Scout Leader!) The cab knot for the canvas top worked well.

I enjoyed the show overall, and it was great to meet up with old friends from Ohio, and meet the vendors whose parts and advice are part of my truck. I think the show need to really sell the idea to the public. Drawing in crowds from the surriounding area. But, at least there is a show, and my hats ...

Got my cargo cover from John Bizal, and was looking up the procedure for securing the ropes, found the taut-line hitch in the Boy Scout manual, and the Military recomended version for the s hooks. Thought I'd share

I thought it was a fair show, considering this was my first time there. not many vehicles compared to the pictures I saw from previous years. Did get some good deals though And thanks for the compliment one of the show coordinators thought mt truck was from a museum collection. Here's a halfway done...

I amheading up to Iola, hope to bring my M37 up as well.

Hi Charles, That's the exact kind of answer i am am looking for, for instance the B89 brake shoe. I did not know that. As I have said this info was gleaned from many sources, including a cross reference chart I got dated 1979 from a Air Force Service Bulletin, and times they do change. I intend to m...

New Cross Reference Chart Hello all, I received a phone call from a gentleman in Greece (Kyrianos) who is restoring an M37, who needed my cross reference chart on my m37 website, unfortunately he has no computer, and the library where he uses the computers to access the internet do not allow downlo...

Does anyone know of a place to get new canvas for these type of cots?

Here is the latest on this issue: From: jerowsam@************ To: Subject: Wis DOT and Historic Military Vehicle Registration updates But things have been grinding along (slowly). There is some good news. Earlier this spring, several of us HMV types met with the board of the Wisconsin Car Clubs Alli...

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted, hate it when work gets in the way of more important things. I thought I'd share a letter from Jeff Rowsam who has been heading up a grassroots efforts to get the State of Wisconsin to overturn their policy (randomly enforced) of not titling former MV...

Nice job, keep up the great work, a truly indispensable asset
