hi,does anyone have a photo or information on the correct jack for my 1952 m37 ?? i need specs and have been told that they changed from hydraulic to mechanical after a certain serial#,looking to possibly buy one as well if i can verify what my truck calls for,thanks to all who can or will help !!!!

We're not ignoring you, likely we just aren't sure. I don't have my -10 manual handy, nor my 20p or 34p. I would think one of these would include the NSN for your jack. Mine had none when I got my M37. I found a Craftsman bottle jack that has enough lifting height and capacity and fits in the side cargo box perfectly!

The TM 9-8030 dated 1955 states " The mechanical jack was issued on all models starting with serial No. 80026822, replacing the hydraulic jack."

However, by 1957 the hydraulic jack was again listed as the issue jack in Ord 8 SNL G-741, page 188 and no FSN was shown but the Ordnance Part No. was: 41-J-72

I have never seen a pic of an orig. M37 mechanical jack, but it may have been something like a Dodge WC jack from WWII:
