Ahl Restoration Guide Online

Post by Bushi »

For those of us who never saw a copy and are curious, the David Ahl book is online at archive.org.
Didn’t see a way to download or print but you can peruse the book.

I have a copy and it's an okay book. I wouldn't say it was a required book for someone working on an M37.

Most of it is Ahl's work on his truck with some tips and hints , some pages from the Army manuals and parts pictures. I find copies of the original Army manuals of more use.

I agree. A copy came with my truck when I bought it. I didn't find it all that useful.

I can't believe the prices some of them go for on eBay. One of these days when I get around to it, I'll probably sell mine.
