PoW, That's one fine Truck. Seeing that 'expanded' gauge plate, I'm thinking: Diesel. Sure enough. Looks like it was a seamless fit too.

Re: Correct First Aid Kit for '52 M37 ???

Good information Joe,here and over on Wes' post about changing from the 24 volt W.P. system.Very detailed,and concise.Much appreciated.
