I was going to say Siren also.
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
Where do the slave cable hook up on these. Going to grab a set from Carson.
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
Slave plug is ahead of driver's door, just behind the bottom of the fender on the cab. The correct cable is the older type, not the newer coaxial type with the single pin. Adapters are available.

Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
I think I have some adapters and a 2 pin cable also. Does your truck have the slave port?
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
Not sure if it has the slave port or not. If anyone has a line on a spare tire mount for the bed let me know. I have also contacted "battlewagons".
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
M37's builded in 50's or B1 builded in 60's are are more expensive. The first having the spare tire on the cargo bed and the others mounted on driver's door.

What needs to be done to use a tow dolly?
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
Where are the frame number and cowl number stamped?
Re: New Guy looking for an old truck
Frame number will be same as serial number of data plate. Look on the drivers side frame rail behind the front spring bracket and ahead of the steering box. Cowl or cab number is on a stamped tag located on the passenger side firewall. If you have a copy of the TM9-8030 Operations and Organizational Maintenance Manual, a lot of this info is listed there. Here is a useful link to it and some other some manuals. http://www.imfmotorpool.com/M37_Manuals.html

Thanks Jess.
I wont pick it up until next weekend. I sold the fire fighting equipment back to the seller and he is taking it out this week.

Re: New Guy with an old truck
A few things that came with the truck. The second DRMO tag lists the hood number, which is painted wrong on the truck (the first 3 should be an 8 ). The Army had it for 25 years (52-77) and it only traveled 3458 miles, civilian use only racked up 1500 miles between 1977-2015.

Re: New Guy with an old truck
The Memphis Equipment parts manual has a total parts breakdown which is pretty cool.

Jess;
You are lucky to have received the final Truck Documents, now you know some of its History. I found some documents for my truck stuffed between the seat springs of the drivers seat. You have a very good Truck.

Re: New Guy with an old truck
Those papers are something special , it really shows a piece of Colorado and Colorado National Guard history. Im glad the truck is staying here. A lot of our club members would love to see that truck!
Re: New Guy with an old truck
When it comes to manuals, does the date matter? Is the newer date preferred or the date closer to the truck model year?
