Congrats! I just got my first MV (M37) 2 weeks ago. Be sure to change your driveline fluids and check the axle vents.

You can straighten those bumpers with a 20 ton press. It takes a little twisting and turning, but I straightened out full length one with my press. The windshield glass is easy also. The frames come apart and the glass is just laminated glass from the local glass shop.

Is that a Marine Corps version, with the hoops welded onto the bumpers? If so, does it have a locker in the rear?

Yep,it is a former Marine truck..I tried to find markings before painting but could 'nt really see anything except a bit of the yellow writing above the fuel tube. I'll probably get after that bumper this week sometime..put a little heat to it I guess , and try and straighten it..might just cut those loops off and redo it ARMY !

The inner window frames are pretty much rotted out on the bottom so I'll probably have to bite the bullit and get new ones..I was able to just change just out the glass on our deuce way back when

You don't need any heat if you use a press. Also, the press doesn't leave any hammer marks.
