I found a place that sells the manual for $40. I'd do that in a heartbeat if the truck was going to remain stock. But it's a little pricey for a single read just to learn. Where do I find a place to download it? Ah... I think I found it. Thanks...

Fantastic... I don't know how I'm going to use the switch but wanted to know before going forward. So I still want to know what the positions are used for that you haven't described, but thanks for what you know. I could have sworn there was a position for starting the truck, to allow the...

There's a championradiator site and a championcooling site. Are they the same manufacturer or two different radiator builders? Have you bought from them? Got a link? Looks like the championradiator site has a power wagon unit but the championcooling site doesn't. So I guess that answers my...

Thanks, that tells me something. Do you know what blackout "drive", "marker", and "stoplight" means, and which lights are involved, etc.? What does "service drive" mean? And all the other descriptions on down the list? Is the switch meant to run lights or shift things or supply juice to the...

Okay, so the next question is about this monster... I don't know anything about it except I believe the lever on the left has to be positioned properly to engage the batteries. The rest is a mystery. I'd appreciate an education in the original purpose of each function and how to position the...

So does anyone have a source for custom radiators? I could run a stock radiator and a typical remote transmission cooler but was looking for a better solution.

Yup, I went out and checked the original gauges and all of you are correct. The gauges have little, narrow windows where a light would shine through to illuminate them. What a funky design, eh? And high beam indicator? That seems a little weird too, but hey, it's government design. So now I...

I don't see how it would be backlighting as they are separate from the gauges. I suppose one could be an indicator for high beams, but somehow I doubt that would be useful when they were building M37s.

I have a bunch of questions about the cluster and switches on the dash of my '58 M37. I'm doing a restomod, switching the body onto a newer chassis, but maybe this can be a place where we can all share information on the dashboard of our trucks. So my first question is, what are the three tiny...

Where'd you get it... and how much? Hours/miles? Looks like it could be useful.

I'm doing a restomod '58. It's well on the way at this point. Using a '78 3/4 ton Chevy Camper Special as the donor truck. The end product will be almost entirely stock Chevy so parts will be easy and driving it will be substantially more functional than a stock M37. I deleted the saddle tanks...

I hope you've been filming as you go or have a good written record. If it turns out as good as I'm hoping... I'd consider doing it myself and contributing to your "restore the bank account" fund by purchasing a "how to" copy.

So did you ever get it running?

I found a top locally, so thanks to all that offered information.

Are you still around? PM me if you are and are still actively engaged in parting out military equipment.

I checked out midwest military and can see they will be a valuable source. Not sure which "vintage" site you are talking about but the link in another post to a vintage site is disabled. Do you have one that works? Thanks much...

I sent them an e-mail. Thanks for the info.

How hard is it to find the seats for the bed? I'd buy one of the arctic tops if I could find one too.

Thanks for the list. I think it was surplus jeep and vintage military truck parts that came up obsolete web sites. I didn't click on them all, but will.

What is a top like that worth?
