Well, if you go by the manual, a single point of the hood star should point 'forward', as in toward the front of the vehicle rather than at the windshield like yours..... how can a star be backward?
Thanks bud! Kind of intimidated right now....Subscribing to watch your progress. This is going to be a great build. Also I know very little about these trucks and I'm learning a lot from yall. Shared knowledge is the best. Congrats again, Ken! Looks like you have another keeper.
Yup. Im an old jarhead too, and that won't be an issue either. I've seen some GREAT USMC M37s. So if I decide to go back OD it'll be lusterless green and yellow, like this one:Fortunately for me, most of my vehicles end up in USMC markings and Marines don't put stars on our vehicles, so I am saved the dilemma of deciding to put stars on
Absolutely bud. I'll pm you my address!If you still want the M37 book , let me know I will mail it to you . Looks like all the pieces are there for a nice rebuild .
I'm looking forward to the build and honestly, if I didn't have this site and the collective knowledge here, I wouldn't do it!I would say you have a good start with that chassis. After all it is in Louisiana where everything either disappears in the swamp or rusts from sight? Is there a third?
From what I see the truck has some very desirable features. I am Green with envy!
10-4Absolutely bud. I'll pm you my address!
Those little guys look like me in "normal" mode!! A___N__T___I__C__I__P__A__T__I__O__N......................remember ketchup commercial!! LOL
Semper Fi, brother! Looking forward to seeing this one done.Yup. Im an old jarhead too, and that won't be an issue either. I've seen some GREAT USMC M37s. So if I decide to go back OD it'll be lusterless green and yellow, like this one:
Of course, I'll add personal touches to make it "mine".![]()
Huh... didn't even notice the engine. I'll take a look when I get home.Pictures came up for me finally!
That looks like a SOLID truck!
If you are on Facebook, I have a small page called Dodge Rehab. I put pictures up of my M37 rebuilding progress there. My truck is in limbo right now due to the winter cold.
Looks like your truck is all there, and I think that is the most valuable part of all. I don't see anything missing. Having the spare tire in the bed is a GREAT thing to have, as they are not easy to come by at all.
Don't overlook that jeep engine in the bed!! I wonder if that's a WW2 engine. Can you get pictures of the casting marks, head, and serial number? Serial number is stamped on the driver's side top left corner...same place a Dodge engine is stamped.
