Here are a couple of it just after loading. Long day but fun and almost 100% trouble free. We got 8mpg with this rig! I will post a video as soon as it is uploaded.

I really apriciate the offer of the door mount spare tire rig. I have a B1 that will be restored at some point that is missing the door holder. Seeing as this truck is an early one and I never liked having to move the spare to get out of the few trucka that had one I would like to keep the one...

Hey Dave. It looks amazing already!!! And he is right, it is the straightest, most rust free m37 I have ever seen in person (non restored) The spare tire moun in the rear is the correct early m37 spare tire mount. The one on the door is normally only on cargo trucks of the later B1 series. At...

Yep. Going to go for grey.

What is the weight rating of a single 14 tire? I agree the truck looks much better with the bigger shoes.

I am looking forward to it!

Looking outstanding commander! The seats are just sitting in there, you can just pull them out. Navy Grey- FS16081 Battleship grey- FS36118 I was thinking battleship grey would be awesome for the underside/frame and wheels.

Negative ghost rider. That is the civil defense blue not strata. Please don't paint my truck Airforce!!!!!

Welcome! Glad to have another SC member. Check out the GA rally thread and see if you can make it, even if it is just for one day.

If she lasted in service till the 60's that might explain why she was as complete and in as good a shape as she was. Vary intaresting....

Yeah thats it, cause you know, I just don't get stuck fast enough... Make no mistake, she will never be a trailer queen but yes the days of getting her close to solid objects and deep mud, are probably over.

I planned too, but when he told me to park it in front of the garage, I said don't you mean the side so I can wash it off? He gives me this evil little laugh and says, oh no buddy, she's mine now and I told you where to park her. So I did what any service member would have done when given an...

Take the line off the switch on the dash to the right of the steering collum and plug both the line coming off and the port on the switch.

Sorry Dave!:oops: I plan to have the m37 in your capable hands this friday... life has a way of throwing curveballs... at least you found something to keep you from going stir crazy this week!!! The jeep will look great with your skill and attention to detail!

That is the bridge weight plate, means combined (truck and anything towed) max weight is whatever 72 means. There is a chart available that lists the weight and the corresponding number. And yes, that is my boom operation video. If the bed would rotate, I wouldn't have gotten rid of the bed, as...

It is way better than the M543A2 I got! In then end I wound up parting most of it out, as the bed was just too far gone to restore. I say try to get it and see what happens. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?91041-IT-S-ALIVE!-er-sort-of-M543-resurrection

I had two hawkers that were new in 2004. Nothing was done to them for 6 years. They also read 1.8 volts each. A month each on the battery minder from northern tool and they are still at work start the truck every time.

I guess I need to load up the M37 and head West this weekend! Can't leave Dave without a project! Bad things happen! That truck looks amazing and I am honored to think my truck will get the same kind of treatment! Dave is THE MAN!

First, I would check the cooler. If there is a leak the engine is designed to pump oil into the coolant instead of coolant into the oil. I had an m818 with the same basic engine do exactly as you discribed and it was a leaking oil cooler. Drain the coolant (you have to anyway to get the oil...

Wow don't leave us wondering or anything! Too many businesses, municipalities, and volunteer fire departments depend on these easy to get for a decent price very capable trucks. I doubt a total stopage of the flow of these trucks will happen.
