New to the site and the M37

[afsecpolice]

Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to the site and to collecting military vehicles. I am former USAF Security Forces and recently picked up a 1953 M-37. Mostly original but needs some minor work before I can get it on the road. I look forward to restoring it and soaking up everything on here like a sponge.

Welcome. Thank you for your service.

Look like you have a good starting point for you OD addiction. (it is an addiction, 12 step programs do not help)

Welcome to the fraternity! You will find a world of technical data and expertise here, along with a lot of real good folks.....and an occasional (well you find them everywhere!) The M37 is a great truck and you have found a really big support group here.

Nice looking M37! I'm in the process of getting one on the road as well. Welcome to the site!

I'm trying to figure out if the tan was something original or something done after its career...I've also noticed blue (assuming air force) and green underneath

Nice truck! The body looks straight, seems like most of the correct engine parts are there, and apparently "Bubba" didn't get to the cab.

Welcome to the site and good luck with your project. Depending on how you plan to restore it, or improve it, manuals are your friend.

Please post pics and ask lots of questions.

congrats, I actually was looking at that M37 when I was on the hunt for mine but ended up with one from my local fire dept. Make sure you check out G741 as well since that is an m37 dedicated forum

Good looking truck! I just got mine last month.

BTW, to bad someone installed your engine upside down....

Welcome to the site. Nice truck to start with. Make sure to enter your M37 vin into the G741.Org registry.
