A couple of you have asked for some pictures of our 1953 M37 here they are. Purchased July 1ST 2012 we are hoping to be done in the spring of 2013.
We only got to drive it around the block a few times before we started working on it. It came with troop seats, top bows and canvas for the bed,soft top for cab, bed mount spare tire and a couple of manuals.Its 24v but only the distributor was swapped for 12v. we are looking for a 24v distributor. The PO buggered up the steering shaft and put the wrong wheel on. I will need to find a new steering shaft and wheel. where can I see pictures of others projects on this site?
Inspecting before buying.
Bought and loaded for the ride home.
Its Home.
Body Prep
Some Painting
Whats this yellow dot on Pass door?
Steering shaft has been split with a chisel and peaned over to hold the wheel on. BUMMER

Hi mix....thanks for the pics (no rhyme intended)
Everyone on her like seeing pics of each other's M. Looks like yours is coming along nicely.
The yellow circle on the passenger door is the bridge marking number background.
I've never seen one on the bottom front of the door, they're always on the top front by the upper hinge.
Maybe some of the other guys have seen it in that position.
Thanks again for the pics....and keep 'em coming!!
