keys

Post by M37DODGE »

Hi all,

I was wondering how to turn on m37 from army. do they have keys as normal vehicles or do they have just a switcher to turn it on?

thank you

Keys?

Nope, no keys, Switch on, choke out, step on starter until it fires up, choke in a little till its running good then all the way in then away you go. Well, at least thats how I have to start mine.

Nick is correct. A stock M37 does not have a key.

These guys are right, the US trucks had only an on-off switch for ignition, however many have been retrofited with key type switches over years after leaving military service. We have seen configurations God wouldn't even have thought of. If yours has been changed from original, there's no telling what you may discover has been done.
