Gas tanks can be hard to come by. Once saw a NOS one on E Pay go for $800.00. Would think you could get one made for that. What I found with the axles is they collect moisture (via condensation after years of sitting) and the ring gear teeth sitting in the water rust up solid. Some where...

I may have a couple of used ones, let me know if you are interested.

I know I am going to take a beating on this one but in the spirt of sharing helpful information with my fellow HMV restoration brothers here goes. How many sets of draft pads have you ruined trying to get them over the clutch and brake pedals. Or have you just given up and let the wind, dust...

Mine came with the old early Signal-Stat conversion and mechanical flasher box. As part of my restoration I converted it to the later style M series standard with electronic flasher used in most late model M series vehicles. Both kits have wiring that is propritory to that kit so since I was...

First thing I am going to do is enjoy driving this thing around. Thought about putting it into the vehicle show at the MVPA Convention but that was never the intent when I started the project. I was only going to fix it up so it would run but things got out of hand. The second thing I am...

The rear lift extensions came from E Bay the front bumper "paqper clips" were home grown.

Yes, that is me in my old USMC utilities. Told my wife she will need to find some old hippie chick clothing if she wants to ride with me. Semper Fi!

Mostly Sheet metal work left. Two new doors on hand in the boxes so that should be easy. Currently working on fenders and hood. Cargo box will be done in the spring when the weather improves though many of the smaller parts and hat channels are already done.

I have been working on this project for about 18 months now so I thought it was time to share some photos. It started as a US army version with a hard top. This was one of those vehicles that everyone would love to find. It was all original and had never been restored. It ran enough to drive...

I highly reccommend Vintage Wiring of Maine for your wiring harness. Joe did one for my frame off restoration and his work is outstanding. He can also do any custom touches you may need or add any additional wires you may need. My m37 is a 1953 so it had Douglas style connectors but I had him...

My advice to anyone interested or thinking about restoring a Historic Military Vehicle is this..... Jump in, it is a great hobby and will give you hours of fun. You can put as much money or time in as you like and still the best part is you will meet a lot of great people and a lot of new friends.

Would like to post some pics of mine can any one tell me how to to this?

I got my switch and connectors from Mid West Military. John has most other connectors too. Eriks Military and Industrial Surplus and Saturn Surplus are also good sources for electrical commectors, both Douglas and Packard styles.

The little pin device with the knurled nut is handy too. It screws into the distributor cap after you remove the plug on top so you can hook up a Dwell / Tachometer

Spent 32 years as a FF and made a lot of things with old 1 1/2 and 3 inch fire hose. Body mounts was not one of them though. Cant say enough good about John and the crew at MWM though.

Warren D pretty much nails it down. GL4 Type gear lube because it will not damage non ferrous metal parts. Engine oil needs to have a high zinc base for older type engines with flat tappets to prevent galling. I use Valvoline VR1 series racing oil but Shell Rotella is good too. DOT5 for the...

Been working on a frame off restoration of My M37 now for about a year. Primed and painted painted almost each part or sub assy as I went. Very pleased with the resuls. Built a lot of 1/48 scale aircraft and 1/35 scale MV models so I look at the M37 like I am building a 1 to 1 scale MV...

Hello Matt, did not hear back from you after sending a reply on the doors and my guy in AZ. Just wanted to check and make sure you got the info.

I got two new doors in the boxes for mine but did not want to scrap these since I thought someone could use them. So just looking to help a fellow MV brother out since these are still in good shape and much better than most. Window regulators are in great shape and one door has a brand new...

Not sure looking at your pictures what shape your doors are in but I have 2 that are in good shape if you are looking.
