Psssst it's Papabear. Just saying. Truck is looking great and y'all are right on track with it! I just wish I wasn't so far away so I could lend a helping hand.

I've said ti before and I'll say it again. Keep up the good work! You are doing a great job! For what it's worth I vote on the 270 and be done with it. Aint nobody going to know if it's "correct" or not. Put it back in and make it go varoom varoom... :) Congrats to all of you on your great...

The work is coming along great and Zout is doing a fantastic job. The old girl will have her former glory once more. Keep up the good work!

Just weld your frame mounts to the frame rails. It will be just fine. Skip the air brake idea and go with disk brakes. Actually the original brakes on the truck when working properly work very well. But if you want to redo them I'd look into disk brakes off of a large GMC truck and mount...

Just need to add a set of floppy ears to that puppy.... :lol: Y'all crack me up... :D

Bring it on!..... :lol: I can't wait to see it in OD.

Look inside the glove box or under a data plate to see what the color is there. That may help you identify the correct color of the truck.

Amazing work you are doing there Zout! PB you've got to be smiling chest out like a proud Papabear! As for the unit that truck was with. Since the truck was here in the states I'd look for a 3rd Army unit that was state side during the war. In all likely hood that truck never left home soil...

Y'all are doing incredible great work! Such craftsmanship! Keep at it and post pics when you can. I wish I still had relatives in GA so I'd have a reason to come visit and see this in person. Keep up the great work!

Looks good at first glance. Congrats!

I've looked at that as I have a M37 hard top, but it's in poor shape. I think the top from VP only has a spot for the rear window, but doesn't have an actual window so you would need to fab up a sliding rear window.

Wow talk about attention to detail! Ohlycrappa! If y'all get in touch with him found out how much to make another M37. I gots to have me one of them! The proportions are so good and accurate. A very skilled builder.

If you let the dry for a month or so before applying a another paint on top it should be fine. The only time I've had a problem is when the Gillespie hadn't cured and I've gone to stencil and it's lifted the paint up. Like paint on Tuesday stencil Tuesday evening kind of thing. Don't use...

Yaaaaay! Ice cream ice cream...I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream! :lol:

Well I looked at Rapco and Army Jeep Parts for the "correct" paint but they don't seem to list the Yellow. I also don't know if it is the same yellow as the USMC uses for their markings. But I know that folks that have marked USMC vehicles have used Clark Tractor yellow, School Bus Yellow, and...

@Zout nobody can say you are a slacker. You get more done in one day than I've gotten done in three years on my project! Next I think your trivia question on the flooring. 3.75" Oak tongue and grove? Just like what is in my house.... :) Do I win a prize?

I think a trip to the local car audio boom you ears off store would be your best bet. The nice thing is you have a blank canvas to work with in the M1009.

Very Carefully? All kidding aside. If your able to do what you have done already I would think you have the skill set to wire the amp up too. I'm not really sure what your asking exactly.

Ah got it!

Just use some Wolmanized wood porch flooring...it's going to get painted OD so nobody will know it's not Oak. I'm sure they have a Home Desperate in your neck of the woods where you could get it cheep enough. Tell the Commander that you'll be made fun of and all the other kids will make fun...
