Absolutely nothing in the past few months. I recently bought a Cessna 150 and all my time now is spent playing with that toy. My truck is for sale, however I'm contemplating keeping it....Oh, I did start it up and let it run for a while last week.....I have run it in the garage about once a...

Sid Beck Sid Beck was the best person to deal with period....My first order with him was for a NOS steering box. I sent an email, with my desires and adress, and I had the parts on my doorstep before I had even sent him the check. He didn't know me from Adam yet was trusting enough to do this...

I will be there on Friday with my sons as usual. Not bringing the truck but will be there anyway. This is the first year I really have nothing special I need to buy for the truck, just coming down to check things out and maybe find something that just screams "buy me". If anything I may buy...

Assuming the previous owner is the one who had that makeshift roof built over it? If so, that's the reason its in such good shape. Too many of these trucks are just left to the elements and become rusted hulks in short order as a result. At least the guy had the forethought to do that to keep...

Maybe he's looking in a mirror in his explanations. The starter pedal is above the accelerator, not the clutch. Maybe he meant the master switch, but even that is above the accelerator on the dash to the right of the steering column. Starting an M37 is easy. As was explained, flip master...

I've never seen or read anywhere that says its a must to depress the clutch before starting an M37. While its the smart thing to do to ensure the tranny is disengaged from the engine, its not imperative that the clutch be depressed to start the truck, so long as its in the neutral position. One...

Well, I'm old school, I say buy the manual and keep it in your shop where you can thumb through it whenever you need to. The front fender makes a nice table top. Who cares if the book gets greasy. That's part of the allure of these trucks. With the CD you will need to head for the computer every...

If your daily drive is maybe 10 miles or less, and its all back roads, then yes it can be a daily driver. If you are like me and have a 33 mile one way commute daily, forget it. By the time I'd get to work , I'd have to turn around and start the return trip home. IMO great truck to play with...

Shame, I hate to hear of any M37 that's going to go to the scrapper. Hope somebody rescues it just to use the parts.

My 62 B1 has packard and Douglas connectors. It has the spacers under the driver's side springs and since it has no spare tire carrier anymore, the truck rides a little high on the left side. I though I had a bent frame there for a while until somebody told me to check for the spacers. Sure...

Nice command car but the wrong color. WWII vehicles to my knowlege weren't painted the dark semigloss OD.

I'd ignore the first letter. Its nothing but a scare tactic to get you to knuckle under. Don't fall victim. Contact a lawyer make sure you're in the right, then next time a "letter arrives" return it with a cease and desist note from your lawyer's office or they will take action in the name of...

There is a small amount of grass along the back edge of the parking lot where guys camp. I imagine most of them are people who have nearby spaces taken up with parts etc though. I always park in the front of the stadium and don't have real far to walk if I want to bring parts back to my truck.

I am not a purist by any means, however I cringe when I hear about M37's that have had V-8's dropped in, tranny's swapped out, etc. To me M37's were meant to be driven with an original type of flathead engine, and running gear. If some wingnut modified it without knowing what he was doing, you...
