It was a beautiful day for a car show yesterday.

Took the family along with the M37 to the Dixie Division Military Vehicle Club meet at the USS Alabama on Friday and Saturday. We had a great time visiting with them. I finally got to bring my truck around other MVs. I was the only M37 in attendance however I spoke with other members that own...

I didn't win an award this year but I had a really good time talking with lots of veterans (some who served in the 769th).

What is a correct radio for displaying in an M37? Also what would a non working radio purely for display purposes cost? Thanks Mike

Does anyone know if the AB-21/22/23 antenna sections will screw onto the top of the lower antenna piece used on the (AS-1729) MX-6707? It doesn't have to be operational as I use the antenna as flag poles. Thanks Mike

Now that I am “finished” with my M37, I have taken in my friends Ferret MK2/3. Need to rebuild master cylinder, bleed brakes, finish wiring lights, and reassemble the interior. Engine has already been rebuilt. Will be painted in tan and green camo as he has pics from in service in Yemen with...

What can I look at to remedy this situation? I have just finished my restoration and started driving my truck in a higher speed limit zone and all I can get up to is 30. I have a new carb, electronic ignition, new distributor cap, new spark plugs, and electronic fuel pump. Any help is appreciated.

My father in law served in the Louisiana National Guard 769th Engineering Battalion in the late 50's-early 60's and I would like my truck to reflect that time of his service. What would be the correct way to depict this? Are guard units marked differently than active units? I know where to...

I posted a wtb for an air cleaner support but does anyone that has one be willing to take some good measurements/pics of so I can possibly have one manufactured? This is the last piece I need for my water fording kit. Thanks Mike

Does anyone have a wiring diagram of how I can wire newer MV brake lights on my M37? I understand the original wiring harness will need to be changed, I just don't know what changes needs to be made. Thanks, Mike

I am looking for the parts pictured in yellow "JJ" to make return my starter back to foot pedal operation. My truck was set up with a dashboard push button when I got it. The starter is missing the part that is pushed up by the cam when you engage the foot operated lever. Does anyone know...

I am totally confused on what to put in my transmission. I have been reading many posts about what people are using in their trucks (mostly deuces) and the discussions say to stay away from GL-5 because it attacks the yellow metal and others say it doesn't matter because it needs a high temp to...

I am trying to locate the proper hose for my water fording kit and I have been unsuccessful. Would anyone know the correct size and length of the hose? I will post a WTB ad also for one along with the correct brackets, but in the event I can't find an original, I would like to start checking...

Want to see if anyone is making this trip anytime soon. Looking at getting a M37 hard top brought down as far south as I can. Thanks Mike

Just was wondering how many M37 owners there are in Louisiana? I recently purchased a 1954 M37 that I am restoring and would like to see what others have done with their trucks. Thanks Mike

Having been a member here for several years, I finally have the title MV owner. It is a 1954 Dodge M37. I found it on FB in Samson, AL. Got a friend to go with me and after a 16 hour day, we got it home and in my shop where the restoration will begin. It is a very solid truck. 1 spot of...

What do you do while you are waiting for the state to make up its mind on titling military vehicles? Build a smaller version of the truck you are getting to pass the time!! Still need to make some decals with unit markings but other than that it is done. I bought 2 of these models before...

Just found this site and I want a 5 ton so much more!!! I recently sold a MB/CJ2 mix to start my funding for my next "need" as I put it (wife says it is a serious want). I hope to be riding around this time next year. Until then I will soak up as much knowledge as I can. Thanks Mike Campbell
