    M37 defroster

And if they dont exits...

    Just one addition I would make to Billyzz recommendation is to back that up with a 3000 PSI very HOT water pressure washer! KK

    OBX Road trip! M-37 from Carova to Ocracoke, NC

    The 37 looks great and it looks like a blast to be in the beach sand like that! That 51 Power Wagon is Beautiful as it gets! I saw one just like this last year around Duluth MN and it was flawless inside and out and under. After seeing that I really figured I needed one of these, that is...

    WTB M38A1 fuel pump

    In this request I think you have two possible options! 1. Midwest Military 2. Vintage Power Wagon Both great companies to work with and they will very likely have the kits to either rebuild or the rebuilt ones to replace! Good Luck Karl

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    TCD that box looks great on the 939, how did you fasten the box to the bed? If your going to be doing much off road with this rig you might consider putting the sides back on the bed for extra support holding the box in place, of course depending on how you fastened it to the bed? It looks...

    Winter is coming... Ether start questions!

    If your going to be starting the truck a lot in sub zero temps and want the engine to live as long as possible you need to put a frost plug type electric heater on it and plug it in at night. This will do a few things for you, and all good! It will warm the entire engine as the warmed water is...

    1951 reo m35 or m59 brake issue.

    MILKY???I have never had that experience when testing brake fluid! What you should get is after you shake it up and let it sit you should get a defined layer of water and a other layer of brake fluid, I have never seen anything MILKY in my test jar? Like recovery4x4 said I would drain and...

    M920 made it home!

    SK congrats on getting her home! There is something about an M-920 that just puts a smile on my face! When you get to the 1600 there is a lot written on this site to assist you, I read it all before I converted my 920 over to them, I am not an expert on this process but after doing it an...

    Brake Fluid Problems - Mixed DOT 5 and 3?

    Just to be sure that you have not mixed the two (DOT 3 and DOT 5) I would flush the entire system as good as you can with either 3 or 5 then fill the MS with whatever you choose to run. Mixing a water silicone based fluid with a NOT silicone base brake fluid will in the end cause you a whole...

    I have to move a Deuce about a thousand mile...

    I used Uship on moving an M920 from Sacramento CA to ND and the driver was absolutely great to work with, granted the distance is farther than your haul but I got it done for 4K. I would guess you could get this done for around 2500 to 3K? Good luck! KK

    M37 made it to it's new home

    You have a very nice looking 37 there, it looks complete and in pretty darn good shape, and I can see its still got its original mechanical fuel pump. Do you know what it was used for in its military life yet? I ask because of the exhaust routing and the antenna on the side, it could have very...
