Hello been in vietnam nearly 3 weeks have not seen one M37 despite keen looking,and alot of travelling, have seen M35 Trucks and some M151
A2s evidently after the war they tried to get rid of every evidence of the war, there is not much left,i met only one man 70 years old who was MP for Australian army who knew 3/4 ton truck ,he said there were 3 M37s in Hoi An.Between Da lAT and Saigon there is many wrecking yards ,i saw a M35 truck with M151 being towed down road in the back and M151s near Khe Sanh beach for hire for tourists about a dozen of them.Im trying to find out if there is any yards that might help members here for parts ,will let you know ,there were many thousands of vehicles used here but most melted down for scrap unfortunately ,.take care fellow Dodgers

Bugger, not good to travel all that way to find a treasure of M37 bits only to find somebody's already hocked the family jewels. Sounds like you had a great trip though, share some pics with us with what you did find...

Best Regards - MM

I just ordered a new door handle on eBay and it came from Vietnam, so there is some stuff out there

I think you'll find most of the M37's were sent to Thailand and Laos when the M715's became standard issue. The ARVN's kept a few but most left the country one way or another.
