BTW, I don't expect any pay. Just want to help.

Gotta make a run to Delaware tomorrow but free most any day thereafter. Not a problem running down to Marlboro, give me a call

Hey Vinny, Middletown NJ here. Not sure if I can help but pretty mechanically inclined. Where are you in NJ ?

Now that's another good idea, LOL

Thanks to everyone on this site who has helped me over the past 2 months while I was restoring my M-37. Vehicle made it 25 miles to the parade in Spring Lake NJ and back. Ran like a top and didn't miss a beat. Some small issues like severe tranny whine, mean scream. Gonna change all gearbox fluids i...

Now Wayne, you're my kinda guy. What a great idea. A little carbon tet residue not gonna kill me now.

WOW !!! Well I polished the hell out of it anyway. Thanks, But it LOOKS great.

My M-37 came equipped with original brass Pyrene fire extinguisher, really cool. Does anyone know what to refill it with ? Says to refill with Pyrene fire extinguisher liquid. Assume Pyrene is no longer around.

Did you use standard pop rivets ?

Just titled mine in NJ. Listed as 1953, make: DOD, Model: M37, Body Type: TRK

Thanks Bruce, I was afraid you'd say that. Could always use a small bolt with self locking threads to keep proper tension. Just hope bolt and nut combo does not interfere with nearby components.

Ok, even though I have a parade Monday and I didn't receive my latch spring yet, I got antsy and pulled the door latch. With removal of a small piece of window track I got latch to hang down into access panel opening. However, the spring is on the door side (of course). Does anyone know how to remov...

Thanks Highway. Looks like a good alternative to Midwest. A lot closer too.

I recall with my M151A1 a few years ago coils were becoming hard to come by. Only ones I found were Chinese and really crap. Had to return two, vehicle wouldn't even start. Chrome plated to boot. I assume these are the same coils for the M-37?
