This will be my second crew cab conversion. I did a M35a2 a few years ago in my small garage.

I've often thought it would be fun doing a 'what-if' Command Car version of the M37.

I'm impressed that you managed the M35 in that garage. :shock:

I've wondered about a 4 door M37, and I'm subscribed to your build. Keep the pictures coming!

Doing the M35a2 in that garage was a challenge. It's a 7 1/2 tall on the inside not much head room. Because how long it was I had to do the frame stretch out side.

Great seats!!
I've been looking at them for a while, they are mine/ied blast protection, (read heavy) so shipping to Argentina would be expensive indeed. That kept me away.

Made some progress today got to cut and stretched the frame. I'm still not sure what the total wheel base is going to be yet. I made the frame extensions a lot longer than I'm going to need so I can shorten them once the crew cab is built. For right now the rear rails are just bolted together. I'll have to notch the new cross member for the driveshaft once I can see where the NP205 will sit.
