Nice! That looks pretty solid. What kind of shape is it in mechanically? Are you planning on restoring it or do you have other plans? I’m curious how it ended up in the UK.

Hi Ben, Welcome and let’s see some more pictures of your ambulance! Not sure if it’s a typo or not, but your truck is actually an M43. Can’t really offer much advice on the litter racks, but if you take a look over on g741.org you might find something. Good luck!

Hello and welcome from Ontario!

Ok well lets see if this works. I found a couple pictures of the M38 from about 10 years ago, not the best quality pictures though.. And a couple of the M37 when I moved it to the new house 5 years ago And then as it is more recently. Clearly I need to take a few more pictures of the...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I’ll definitely have to dig up some pictures. I have great memories of learning to drive on the old dodge and filling it up with firewood to haul back from the woods. The M38 was used more on the trails through the woods, and pulling us on toboggans in the...

If you can locate a Canadian m37 transmission, they are synchronized in 2-3-4. They also use a larger clutch disc, and are based off the T98.

Looks like a good truck to start with! Doesn’t appear to have a lot of rust and looks pretty complete. It has an odd spare tire mount though. I guess someone needed extra space in the bed at some point. What are your plans for it? You mentioned a restomod. Cheers Rob

Hi, Most of the hardware is all fine thread, with some exceptions. If you find yourself a parts manual, it is pretty good at listing most nuts bolts etc. You will find that not everything is listed, but between the parts manual and the service manuals 98% is covered. Midwest military is a...
