M37 length, width, height

Post by Josh »

All,

Thanks a ton!!

I don't know the exact dimensions, but an M37 will fit into a standard size garage IF (and that's a big "if") the top is off of it. You'll also have to push the garage door up so that it's past the curve in the track for the windshield to clear unless you fold your windshield down. As a rough guess, I'd say that with the top installed, you'd need a minimum of 7' 6" vertical clearance. Length-wise, you're okay, but you won't have a whole lot of room to walk around the truck. Width-wise, again no problem in a 2-car garage.

I have a standard two car garage (with two seperate doors) and my M37B1 is a tight fit width wise. No problems with length. Since I have an automatic garage door, and the motor assembly for it hangs low (if you have one, check it before driving the truck in), I do have somewhat of an overhead problem. With the cab top off and no cargo bed upright bows on, that problem is eliminated. So all in all, yes, I can get my M37B1 into the garage but that tire on the door sure makes life exciting.

mine is 2.5 car, but the door is 2 car full width, so I *should* be ok. The fiance drives a little tiny escort, so there should be lots of room to begin working on it... More parts seized on Ebay, I got some NOS drag link repair kits, and NOS drag links. At the rate Im going, it will have a brand new steering system in it!

You should be just fine. Just watch the overhead clearance so you don't ding your new garage door or (worse) scuff your windshield frame. :)
