Watched Full Metal Jacket again for the Nth time the other night and forgot how many M37s there are in it.
Its great to see these trucks in the situation where they were used.

Try to get a copy of a movie called The Mountain Road with Jimmy Stewart in it. The movie takes place in China during WWII but they use M37 in it.

NEVER SAW ANY OF THESE TWO MOVIES, BUT I DID ENJOY THE PRESENCE OF THE 50 CAL ARMED M37 ON THE LAST RAMBO MOVIE.

There is an Elvis movie that features some nice shots of an M37 and M38A1s. Forget what the movie's called but the synapsus is that Elvis is in the Army and is sent to KY(?) to try and talk some mountain man into letting the US Gov't put a missle silow on his land plot and acting quality are typical of his movies. There are several shots of those brand new (at the time) M38A1s running about but only one or two scenes with the M37,sans canvas & windshield folded in the film.

Although not an M37, there is one of those "Frankie & Annette" beach movies that features a WC63. It's in several scenes through out the movie. I used to own a WC62 .

You can see a host of old Dodges in the old 1950's Monster movies like Rodan and Godzilla. Most of the times they use stock footage from the Korean War.
Too bad Stu.. You can look for it on the old movie channels, That's where I saw it last...

yeah but Sal, in those movies they're usually being stepped on or melted by someone's fire breath .

There was a tow truck variant of the M37 in "It's a mad, mad, mad world." Jonathan Winters drove it.

Not sure if it was a Dodge 1/2 ton open cab (WC21)weapons carrier, now that I think about it, it may have actually been an International M-2-4 1 ton but it's in the film "the lost boys" with keefer Sutherland.

It was an M37 I have a copy of the movie. The picture shows Johnathon Winters climbing in. This truck was used in a lot of movies and TV shows you can always pick it out by the location of the spot light and the blinkers mounted on the top of the fenders.

I know Matt....Dam Monsters....lol
