Gimp I'm dissapointed in you. I never figured you for a Gold Star type of guy. I am stricktly a Skyline person. There is nothing like coneys and a 3-way at 3 am on the way home from the bars. :lol: What size wheels are those on that 715? They look like someone recentered a deuce rim with...

Tim, you'll find that with the swing out windows in the deuce there is no need to fold the windshield down for air flow. People give me odd looks when I tell them I have the air on. :lol:

Like I stated earlier in the post I don't think I'll have very many problems around here.

Re: RE: Re: ambers.. There are several MV vendors out there who sell paints. I use Army Jeep Parts out of PA. because they are the closest to me which means savings in the shipping.

Thanks Paul, I do have all the pics on my site, just follow the m37 link in my sig. line to get there. I do not have a lot of restoration pics, because this was a down and dirty quick resto job. I figure with the great shape the truck was in to start with I'll have at least 10 more years...

Tim if you look in my pic you can see the typical dent from the windshield in the hood edge. But with some careful work it can be knocked out. Check out this close-up from the after.

Tim are you talking about the dished out area along the sides of the hoods, like I have circled in my pic? If so, all the pics I have of deuces show it going all the way to the back edge of the hood. Maybe it has to do something with the fix up job some body did on your new hood.

Thanks everyone. :D Here is a pic of the M37 Dad drove while in Korea with the 226th ASA while on the Island of Kang Wha-do. Notice that it lacks the pioneer tool rack, which is why I have left it off the truck I restored. Also note that the truck in the pic is marked for the 277th ASA...

Nope, his had a shelter mounted in it. Here is some pics of it from 62-63. The holes in the side of my bed lool like they would match up with the config in your pic though. Plus at some point the front ant. was changed to a sugar scoop style mount on mine, as it matches the bolt spacing on...

I was looking for a radio shelter for it to make it like the one my father had when he was with the 313th ASA, but have decieded to mark it as his from the 226th ASA. They used the M37 to carry trick operators to the top of the mountain to the operations building. He was assistant trick chief...

Yes, if all goes well I plan on bringing it to Clare.

Re: RE: Re: ambers.. It must have been a radio truck at somepoint in it's military life. The holes line up with a sugar scope type ant. mount and the older tri-anglular ant. mount. Also the knock-outs in the front of the bed and back of the cab are open and at one point had cables mounted...

Re: ambers.. I have the truck plated with historical plates. And I don't plan to drive it as a daily driver, but more for parades and special occasions. I also live in a rural area and know most of LEOs in the area so I don't think the lights will be a problem. Also I have the whites to put...

Thanks everyone. It's been a fun resto mainly because the truck was in such great shape to start with. As for the amber headlights, I was just plan lucky as they were on the truck when I bought it. I have no idea why the park service put them on the truck, but the bonus of it all is that...

Well I finished up the major work on the M37 I've been restoring. I just have items like the troop seat to finish up, and the blackout light once Lane digs a bracket out of his piles somewhere. But all the paint and markings are done. As well as the new 9.00x16 ndt tires. The markings were...

Shipping is a big item for me too, mainly because I own a large off-road business and ship several packages a day. Like Devilman, we have found USPS to be unreliable. And on top of that it's a pain to have to take them to the Post Office to ship them. Not all of us live in a big city where...

Thanks guys. I really got lucky in buying this truck sight unseen and it being as clean as it was. The Midland County Park guys really took great care for it over the years. They had had the truck for over 30 years. I could tell it was the pride of thier fleet at one time. I could tell when...

What price are you looking to get for 4 of them as I'm going to replace the ones on this truck and was going to place the order on monday.

Well, more progress as I have the base coats for the 24087 on the truck. I painted 2 heavier coats on and will allow them several days to cure. I'll then put the hood and side panels and a few other pieces back on the truck and shoot the whole thing with a good top coat to make sure it all is...

Welcome to the site, I currently working on a 53' M37 on the other side of the state from you.
