Installed both today-stubborn old bent bumper brackets needed some coaxing but a big C clamp and a BFH took care of 'em. I need to straighten out the right side loop but am pleased with the results!

Looks good Gary.

I noticed that your front marker/turn signal lens are amber, did you tint these or are they amber glass?

Bert

Thanks Bert,
Amber glass-got 'em from Memphis Equipment via eBay for $25 for the pair (entire assembly)-a pittance of what they go for now.

Are these for a later model M37 or another Mil truck? I need to start watching for some of these.

Bert

Not OEM for the M37 that I'm aware of-I like the look in the dark-will post a picture this weekend.
Gary

silly question, but.....
Can the stock front leaf springs be used when adding a winch or do you need to use ones with an extra leaf?
Thanks!

Not a silly question-same spring. None of my source manuals list any separate springs for a winch model.
Gary

Bert, here's that picture- a little blurry but no mistaking how visible they are.

Thanks Gary,
I thought I read or heard that somewhere, would save me lots of work if it's true!
Appreciate the reply....

Another option is to leave the clear glass and go with amber bulbs, as I have. Since this pic was taken I have swapped the bulbs around so that the amber bulb is behind the magnification part of the lens. Works really good for me.

Even though its blurry you can see how they stand out at night.

Thanks Gary,

I had to run 'em hot on that trip (moving from CA to UTAH) because the trailer lights died as soon as it got dark and I didn't have my multimeter with me.

Bert, my LED amber bulb doesnt have any part numbers or manufacturers details on it. Presumably a Chinese import.
I have searched through my email but cant find any reference to the purchase of them.
I'm sure I bought them here:

Will definately be a similar type available in the US I'm sure.
