New guy with rusty m37 in NC.
Posted: Mon Oct 08, 2012 5:57 pm
Hello all,
My name is Andy from central North Carolina, and I have recently acquired a 1951 M37. I have a 1943 Willys MB and a 1951 M100 trailer.
About two weeks ago, I drug this old war horse out of the woods.
I pulled it to the shop and within about 20 minutes it was running like a top and holding 40 pounds of oil pressure.
I have rebuilt the master cylinder and purchased 4 new wheel cylinders. I have it pulled down and doing the body work etc.
What I have questions about are the markings.
I have been trying to uncover any old markings on my 1951 M37. So far I have only found partial letters on the bumper. Nothing on the hood.
I know that WWII jeep hood numbers started with 20 followed by 6 digits.
are there any particular markings or series of numbers that I should consider painting back on it when I get to it.
Where would stars etc go, and what size should they be?
Particular regs I need to know of?
