M37 in Houston

Post by 06boblee »

I was watching ABC coverage of the flooding, and saw an M37 chugging through about 3 feet of water full of people. Very cool. Anyone know who it might have been?

Do you think that you could find a link to the footage or grab a couple of frames from it to post here?

Yep that's an M35a2. Still a good truck for floods.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

Yep, And now he gets to drain and replace many gallons of gear oil and spend many hours tearing down the hubs to repack the bearings. I have yet to see a waterproof driveline!
