Nice progress!
Those center tailgate brackets always seem to sit low-a vise and a BFH will get 'em where they should be. I wouldn't hammer it within the mount or you could break off a well nut.

Re: Need rear safety strap dimensions
54 1/4 from the buckle fold to the other buckle fold; 2 inches wide; 1/8 inch thick. Can be lengthened another 2 inches if necessary. Those measurements give mine a 4-inch drop across the back.

Re: Oil pump prime?
Always better to have the pump pumping oil from the start so you don't scorch any internals waiting for the oil pressure to build.

Re: Approximate age of Marine M-37 in Vietnam
Correction here to John Mc and All: the spare tire mount DID exist on the M43 Ambulance, so it IS possible that the pictured truck could have been converted to the door-mounted spare. Unfortunately, no way to tell from the photo.
Thanks,

Re: Canvas Top Parts
Most all hardtops do not fit with the channel loop in place. I also have a spare set of the soft top horizontal pieces 2 each that sit up top. PM me if interested.
Thanks,

Re: Approximate age of Marine M-37 in Vietnam
Yes, but not during Korea-the door mount spare didn't exist.

Re: Approximate age of Marine M-37 in Vietnam
Welcome Dave and thanks for sharing your story!
That picture would NOT be during Korea as that M37 is a B1 model based on the side-mounted spare. B1s were built post-Korea with that conflict ending in 1953.
