I would like links to historical M37 pictures please

Post by 808morgan »

I have been looking around and I haven't found a collection of M37 pictures from Korea, Vietnam etc... in one place. I started to collect as many as I could from here and from Google searches, historical databases etc... But sometimes I find the truck listed is not an M37 but an older WWII truck in Korea. I found some on this site by searching through Google but some pics are examples you guys have shown each other, for example when someone wants to see antenna mounts etc..

So I would appreciate any links to historical pictures of these trucks, I am working on my truck right now, my friend is prepping it to paint and do a few things like electric fuel pump... I am waiting for my 4.89 gears from VPW as well.

Here is the Tumblr page I made for my pics:

Morgan,
Nice collection of photos!

The David Doyle books have a large # of great photos. I'll bring 'em to Petaluma at the end of the month and you can take a look at them when you swing by our campsite :D .

Glad to hear you're making progress on the truck.

Yeah no problem, I will keep adding to it as I find things. There could be more on this site, I haven't been through everything. When you start to look you begin to see how nobody has tagged the war time pictures with a description including the trucks name. Jeep people have a lot more luck. I scrolled through some stuff and just happened to find some in the background etc... even the Canadian stuff, there were far more WWII vehicles in Korea, even pictures of the Canadian hockey games that were lined with vehicles had zero M37s that I could see. I'll probably buy the books Andy has.

Well as always I am at the mercy of whatever show I may be working on, I know this month gets busy now, I just had a week off here and there. We have the internet security conference soon, even the NSA comes, there is so much rigging you can't see the ceiling.... sigh... Hopefully my friend paints it on time and the gears come when they say. I will look up the books, I might just want to buy some.

I have recently found a few more pics of M37s in Korea rooting around in a Korean War personal picture archive that the Korean War Veterans Digital Memorial has:

All their pictures I could see containing an M37 or M43 are on my Tumblr page linked above

I have found a lot of pictures recently, since I can't go to work I can hunt down Korean and Vietnam War M37 pictures.

Site is the same:
