Just wondering what vehicle is next to it? It looks like an M37 with a HMMWV maintence top put on it.
Ah, that is my M37, I used the shape of the HMMWV as the base of the frame I built to use for the back of it so you are almost spot on, I haven't posted a pic of my truck for a while so here is one with the quad on the back with it's modified 6x4 trailer. It is being set up as a mechanical logistics vehicle with radio support as well.
Ann says G'day and sends her regards to you & your Missus too Chuck, she was hoping that it would meet your approval. On a side note, I lengthered the drivers seat so you might even fit in this jeep as with the standard setup I barely had enough room to drive, you guys must have selected all the short soldiers to drive these things in WW2 ??

MM, I looked at that picture (of the jeep and your M37) for a while yesterday. I wasn't sure what your M37 was exactly without being able to see more of the front-end. I thought it might of been a variation of a DAF truck. I like what you did with yours and you have great fabricating skills.

Well...kudos to me for knowing my MVs and having a good eye....lol
Kudos to you on your fabrication skills! If you hadn't told me you made that I would have thought you picked up a maintence top off a hmmwv and slapped it on.
