M37s are great trucks, mainstay light cargo truck for all 4 branches from ‘51 until late 70’s. Top speed around 50 against the governor.

The in-tank filter was some kind of porous cylinder that is no longer available. Suggest eliminate it and install a commercial in-line filter before the fuel pump.

RFID tag. Big Brother thing. Same as the tags on clothes they have to remove when you buy lest the alarm goes off. For tracking equipment.

I thought these had diodes inside? Someone explain what capacitors are doing in there? Sorry CE Niehoff, this thing is not one of your better ideas.

Most likely the purge valve under the dryer. Super easy to disassemble in place and clean ice and gook out.

I would say that if the taper dimensions on the new trunnion holes do not match your old trunnion, the new part was machined wrong! Honing it would take forever and a day.

Doesn’t the CUCV frame have more holes in the ends for the tie down extensions? I forgot.

Yes he is correct. If you see tan or green paint overspray on anything then you can be extra sure.

Oh it’s easy to install, just a bolt on. Only tricky part is getting the gear lash right when bolting the PTO to the transmission. Transfer case is untouched.

Isn't your $60K truck in a garage? My 1025 sure is.

Freshly painted MERDC <incorrect camouflage. That scheme was issued right around then. Edit: see next post.

28 gets plugged into the gauge.

Can’t you reach through the blades and uncouple it, then fish it out where you can replace it? I kinda forgot.

DONT use paint stripper, learned that the hard way long ago.

Have to dismount the tires anyway to send them to recycle. No big deal.

What seemed to happen is this: USMC orders say 20,000 M38A1 Jeeps from Kaiser. Then someone at DoD says “Air Force needs 1000 of them, divert the shipment”. Then Air Force has a depot paint them strata blue and off they go to flightlines. This would happen before USMC ever even had a...

Wow that is very original and unmolested. Quite possible the USAF had it. Heaters are a AF thing, USMC just froze and LIKED IT. Never seen that engine color before on an Army or USMC Jeep. The serial number on the engine matched the vin from the factory, but quickly became disassociated when...

That is encouraging. Consider getting a steel reproduction body kit quoted and subtract that amount from $10k and offer under that.

I personally would pass on this. You need more information to decide. Is the engine and frame correct for a '42 MB? If those are CJ2A parts then $10K is way out of line. If this is local to you, see if the frame has the machine gun mount which means WWII frame. See what the engine serial...
