does anyone have any photos of a US NAVY M37? Were they used by the NAVY? Looking to do something different....Already have USAF, USMC and ARMY ones in the club....Thanks.

Bobcat,

Use the search in the upper right corner and type in "Navy M37". Your post will come up first, but about 5 down you'll see the post I put up that has pics of a Navy M37.....but it's probably not what you're expecting. I also just recently saw some pics of another Navy M37 in battleship grey...........I just have to remember where I saw them.

regards,
bob

Yes, I took a picture of one at the Portland MVPA National in Navy drab last summer. I'll post it this afternoon (I'm at work right now).

Here you go (sorry for the quality-not the best):

That's a pretty cool pic. I wonder if it's accurate in terms of the Navy painting "US" and "Navy" above and below the door star respectively. I also wonder why a Navy vehicle would need a bridge plate? But cool to see a gray M.

thanks,
bob

I believe that the Navy marking would be similar to the Air Force markings of the same period. Neither AF or Navy uses stars that I know of. I would a Navy truck next but my second truck is a USMC.

Let google be your guide....

If it is a Sea Bee truck it will be either US Army 24087 or USMC 24079. If you want it just Navy gray then it will be Navy grey with black letters.

I believe that is the same truck that was in Hemming's Motor News. If I recall correctly it sold for $40,000.
