Post by newbee101 »

I was at a show lately involving military vehicles in New York all of the M37 that i saw there had a tool box that ran from one side of the body to the other. my truck does not hav a tool box nor does it look as if it ever did. were they made with and without? my body looks original.

I have never seen one without it. Seen lots with the hinges rusted shut that prevented the use of the space, but never saw one just blank there. I am assuming you have a standard bed?

Hey newbee101, Welcome to the fold! This is gonna sting a little, but a pic of the box side walls will tell us all, what exactly is going on with and answer your query. To my knowledge, there never has been a vehicle of that description, unless it is/was a prototype or very early vehicle?
What year is your vehicle, have you found your serial #?

Hey thanks for the come back. this is why this site is the best ever.

That's the good part, how does it look w/o the doors, post a pic, did you add your truck to Robi's Registry?
