Hi,
Long time lurker, and finally decided to join up, as mentioned im in the UK, and have owned my M37B1 for over a year now.
She is listed in the registry, but under her previous owner (so will have to get updated).
Anyway looking forward to being part of the forum.

Welcome aboard Lee, If you've been lurking about for a year or more, then surely you know what a bunch of nutters we are. You won't find a friendlier bunch of loonies anywhere. Meanwhile I hope you're having fun clogging the "B" roads.
Let's hear about your truck, is it original?
Again, Welcome.

Welcome to the site Hawk, we all look forward to more pictures of the truck. That picture looks very familiar for some reason.

Thanks for the welcome.
The truck was previously owned my Jean Luc, he was not a member of this forum as far as I can tell??? but the truck is registered in the registry.
Can Admin change owner in registry?
Bert, yes I also joined the SS forum recently, you welcomed me there, and mentioned I should join this forum.
So here I am
Brigand,sorry not sure what you mean by Original? It was pretty much up together when i purchased her, since owning her ive changed the military markings, ive just had to change head gasket, also just applied new window weatherstrip retainers/weatherstrips. Just waiting at the moment for my new canvas seat covers to be delivered. Im after the full spring seat sections, if anyone knows of some for sale??? I know they are rare as rocking horse sh*t, but always worth asking

Also im going to get a new cargo canvas, as the one that came with the truck is just odd and not correct.
Again thanks for the welcome guys

Hawk, By original I meant is it it as the Army used it or has it been modified for civilian use. Engine swap, Axles, Tyres nothing against it either way, just curious.
Are you looking for just the springs for the driving seat? The passenger seat is meant to be foam over perforated plywood.

Brigand,
Yes, she's totally as Army would use it. Thanks for the info about the seats, thought the passenger seat would of been spring to.
Makes it easier just having to find driver seat springs I guess?

And yeah still after full driver seat spring section.
Regards
Hawk
