its a jeep.... why are they bondoing dents for perfection ? hammer out and move on.

Interesting ding

Interesting advice.

I learned from my first one to not over do. Alot times you will not get the enjoyment out of it to equal an over done restoration. Fix it and engjoy, It also helps a whole lot on the pocket book, which makes it funner again.

One my favorit things about m37 is how strong the fenders are, and im not light weight.

Its funny how people would rather spend all the time trying to over bondo, than to just weld in a new small piece to fix the body. I do realise alot past owners may not had a welder, but most did or knew a welder.

yep thats is dissapointing. Fortunitly most starter rebuilders, espec deal with older constructions equip can fix them,. Worst case can buy nos, for ok price.

soo whats dissapointing ?

slightly confused, you got starter to turn over with out ignition lit, but are dissapaointed, so you hit the starter ?

Yes the button gets painted od as well. The nos are od already. Your pics make me want to get another stock m38a1. But then i look at the one in my back yard with a 350 v8, and i remember oh ya... Smalll.. :cautious:

Looking into getting an m1009. Is there anyone around socal with one i could get hands on and maybe a ride to check them out first ?

I sold mine to a vietnam vet, now be used to show off and be used in airshows, push some planes around.

Good starting point. Looks prettty solid, and complete. Parts are also easy to get. Some quality of life upgrades would be electronic ignition (pertronix) they make one for m37, about 20 min swap. Electric fuel pump with own toggle, dual reservoir brake cylinder (60s gm truck), Tear old...

Great info to have, looking into getting a cucv, I decided if i do, ill just go to a private vin verifier/dmv service provider. The $50 fee is worth it, they don't hassle with the military issue then. What ticked me offf the most is that i had a clean Nevada title for it, Yep ca dmv is a...
