    A good days work!

    Well I was able to put in a good solid day of work on the new m37 and was able to get all the wiring sorted out. Luckily the park dept didn't cut up any of the original harness, but rather added addition stuff along side it. To get turn signals they added a complete seperate 12v set up tapped...

    Turnbuttons for soft top, need replacement

    I got my replacement ones from Weebee Webbing when I redid my deuce a few years back, and they were exactlly like the ones I took off except that they were not all worn out. :lol: They have held up fine also.

    Home with the new Dodge

    Actually I think I'm going to do this one in paint masks, so the nose art will be done the same. When I here "Buford" I think an old hound dog. So I'm going to go with that as the art work.

    Home with the new Dodge

    Well I've been fiddling most of the day with it, and after some new plugs (which they gave me with the truck) and a new fuel filter, it has cleaned itself up and runs really good. A few short drives and everything seems to be functioning properly. After sifting through the boxes of extra parts...

    Home with the new Dodge

    Thanks Lane, but I don't think the 715 will gather to much dust. The one thing I have already figured out about the M37 is that everybody in the 50's were short people. I'm 6'3" and to get my foot onto the clutch peddle I have to bring my knee almost to my ear. The little I drove it yesturday...

    Home with the new Dodge

    Thanks guys, she was a great find. I'll probably spend the whole day today playing with the new addition. Getting to know her! And it will most definately be going back to OD green. And I plan on marking it like the one my father drove all the time while in Korea serving with the 226th ASA...

    Home with the new Dodge

    Well all went well as I was able to head over to Midland County and pick up my 53' M37 that I had bought from them. I very pleased with the truck, as it is really clean and in good shape. I picked it up right from the parks garages and was able to talk with several of the guys who use to use...

    Memphis Equipment M715 For Sale

    2 things really stood out too me other then the red paint. 1 reproduction tailgate ( missing the JEEP stamping in it). Clean orginal tailgates are hard to find making them more desireable. 2 missing B/O light on hood. Well, the lights are easy to find, but the special angled mounting plate...

    Memphis Equipment M715 For Sale

    I don't want to sound like an azz, but that is way overpriced. I've seen trucks of the same calliber go for about half that asking price. Heck I would be hard pressed to get $12,500 for my fully restored 715. And I can't believe it only has 915 total miles on it. Sure maybe since the...

    Bought another truck!

    I know it's going to be an odd shelter to find, but I have good faith in the members of SS who can turn up even the most obsecure part. I'm not going to loose sleep over the shelter either, as I don't need it for the main restoration on the truck.

    Bought another truck!

    Thanks, I have a couple of that truck from Dayton also. But the shelter he is looking for has the AN/MLQ-24 set up which is the crank up towers that can be seen in the pics. He wants to have it before the next reunion of his old unit next year. He figures it would be a big hit to come rolling...

    Bought another truck!

    I got it off ebay. It was nice and close to me and it great shape so I had to get it. Sorry Kcimb, but those were 2 of the best pics I had. I have several others showing bits and pieces of the truck, a fender here, a bumper there. Those were the only good shots with the whole truck in them...

    Bought another truck!

    Well, I just bought a super clean 53' M37 from Midland County Parks & Rec. The truck is original other than a few small items like taillights and paint. No rust and is in great running condition. It was well maintained and kept in doors for the last 30 years that they have had it. It has a...

    antenna mount

    I have seen several trucks with it mounted on the pass. side front section of the box. But I wanted to pull my ant. forward and was affraid to get it to close to the exhaust. Putting it on the driver side box would have interfeared with opening and closing the door while tied down. And for...

    Thanks, guys, it's great to be able to use these vehicles to help events around the local communities. The Marines were all excited when I got there to deliever the truck. They all wanted to climb in and have thier picture taken with the 50 cal. I told them no problem, have fun and get all...

    Pics from Toys for Tots kick-off

    I had been contacted by the local Marine unit, Alpha Co, 1st Bat, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Div. about bringing one of my military trucks down to their depot for the kick-off to their Toys for Tots campaign. Having worked with them before for the color guard at the Silver Lake Military Vehicle...

    antenna mount

    Yep, works good for display puposes. To make one funtion you would need to run a gound strap down to the box or frame.
