M37B1 in Pakistan?

Post by topellis »

Just wondering if anyone saw a news clip yesterday in which they were talking about terrorists and such and it showed a quick shot of a M37B1 and a M35 going down the road. There wan't time to study the pic to try and evaluate if it was a here and now shot or just some archived footage of military "stuff". The shot of the M37 clearly showed the spare. The vehicle looked to be in good shape.

Anyone that frequents this board from Georgia, do you know who lives on hwy 27 between Cedartown and Rome? I saw a Deuce, M37 and a Airforce box truck sitting there. The Deuce and box truck were out for sale. I also pass a Deuce with roadmaster beacons on my way to work just outside Cartersville, GA. Just wondered if it was anyone on this forum.

Haven't been to Rome in quite awhile, but we have a 53 Air Force M37 between Acworth & Woodstock.

The M37B1 is likely in military service presently. Some years ago when we were affiliated with the Hercules Diesel repower progam, they supplied 1,500 of the kits to the Pakistanian Military for M37B1's. I feel like those trucks that got upgrades are certainly still in service today.
