CG - I'll assume that the wedge portion of the jerry can faces the front of the vehicle to improve the M37 aerodynamics and fuel economy?

Sorry Knattrass but there are no true aerodynamics for an M37. The vertical windshields, para-sail front fenders, etc. make the M a wind grabber for sure. I mount my spare can with the spigot side to the rear but do not know if the TM indicates which direction it should face.

Hello everyone,
Has any one on the forum used TM-9 Ordnance Paint Products.
I have tried to e-mail them but got no response. I am intrested in their
shade #6 for my 1952 M-37

I received my q-panels from TM9 Ordnance this afternoon. Their shade #6 is a very close match to the inside of my door panels.

No, I'd imagine what CG meant was that your jerry can holder is installed improperly. The tall surface w/ the 4 holes is supposed to face the truck instead of outward.
