Look closer at what you think is an m37 on the decal. I think it's a 3/4 ton wc :D Kurt

That might be the Military Vehicle Collectors of California-a state-wide group with several chapters. Not a predecessor of the MVPA that I'm aware of.

If you feel that the decal needs to be included based on the type of restoration you are doing, then by all means, do so. On the other hand, that decal to my knowledge was never included when the vehicle came from the factory, so the importance of the decal is strictly your call based on what you want your vehicle to represent. Some guys go all-out with correct unit markings, bridge sign kits, appropriate heaters, nuts, bolts, screws (you get the idea) but others just use their vehicle to haul wood, daily driver, plow vehicle, etc, with less emphasis on originality.
