Awesome pictures. Amazed at that old truck with M35 motor in it. Or at least looks like it. How about driving with the engine between your legs?

Where I work we have over a 100 trucks with front winch's as well as leveling cables. We use lubriplate brand chain and cable spray. It will not wash away with water easily and soaks into the cable strands. I am sure there are other brands of cable spray, I know NAPA makes one. The Lubriplate brand ...

Oh thanks! Since I need to make all mine, may as well make that to!

The oil bath cleaner can just be cleaned not replaced. Dump out the small amount of oil in it, wipe out any crude and refill with clean oil. If truth be known probably filters air better than a cheap paper element. All the older farm tractors had them and I bet rarely died of dirt ingestion. I have ...

Seems the M37's themselves are getting harder to come by. At least in my half of the country. We looked for months before we found one that was mostly intact.

Some of our vendors on here may even have some used that could be cleaned up.

I love this comment in the description "THIS IS A CUSTOM M37 POWER WAGON, WAS USED IN VEITNAM."
Man, would the guys loved to have that on convoy escort. Have a real hard time shooting it at 160mph..

These jump seats, were they mounted on the front part of the rear bed? Facing rearward? I've seen the rear troop seats, but never saw a picture of a jump seat. Mine doesn't have any rear seats so, only have pictures to go by.

Just stumbled across this post and the donate button as well. Donation made. Thanks for a great site. I do have one comment. I do visit a few other sites, Steel soldiers, welders web etc. and those are very helpful sites. However, This is by far the most helpful and polite group of people on any mes...

Just wanted to say hi to everyone. Didn't want you to think I had abandoned the site. :D I Have checked back and read some posts about projects occasionally. Haven't spent any time on the M37 since beginning of summer. Hoped once summer had started, would get some time but didn't happen. Family busi...

I still cant get over how immaculate your truck is. Even a glove on the bottle jack!!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures... awesome!!!! Your comment about everyday life is so true. Although I was not in Vietnam, I was in the Marines [82-86] and could have taken a million cool pictures of everyday life, tanks, air strikes, etc etc, , and just didn't bother. Wish I had and glad...

Growing up I started many old tractors, Mostly IH and they had hand crank adapters on the crank shaft that look just the like the ones for the M37. None of them had any kind of manual spark retard. Turn fuel on, turn switch on, choke if needed...Crank !!!! Even had a place by the drivers seat to sto...

Thanks .. Not something high on my list to get done as its spare trans was just curious what you found. When I get time Ill take the old one apart and see what I can make of it. I do have machining and welding equipment, so Ill maybe experiment some. If I don't get time in near future, I'll send it ...

I'm interested in any upgrades as well. I still have the transmission I took out and it needs work. I have a good one in it now from Midwest, and wonder how long that pin will last. Although its not driven rough, still crappy design. Charles, I know your a busy man, but any ideas would be appreciate...
