XM708 might have a spare t/o tranny for you-he's in Vermont. Also, VPW just shipped a few back from OCONUS-might be pricey though.

thanks for the plug gary. andre came up the other day and bought a tranny from me. I was glad I took the cover off because the one I was going to sell had the syncros grenaded in it. by the way has anybody here seen an m37 tranny with a solid shifter ? This tranny has a solid shifter and it does not come apart. it was in a 1951 US airforce m37 w/w but could this be a canadian tranny is there such a creature ? oh charles any ideas ???

curious in VT

The Canadian trucks use a stub shaft with the bolt on shift levers like the US models. Many civilian trucks with the same transmissions use a solid shift lever. I would imagine this one had been swapped out for a shift lever from a civilian Dodge truck of the era.

The Canadian trucks have an ACME transmission, totally different from the New Process units that were used in the US trucks. I have 1 ACME laying around, haven't been in it, don't know its condition.

Hi Ed,
My pleasure! You've always helped me out so I thought I'd send you some business.

BTW, I found an excellent M37 Arctic top (with the oval back window) at the Lodi meet on Friday for $160-what a deal huh?

M37 arctic tops don't have the oval back window, they have a rectangular sliding window. What you have is a CCKW retrofit top. That's why the cheap price tag was on it. Good condition genuine M37 arctic tops will bring in the $2,000-$2,500 range.

Gary,

glad you got the top cheap regardless if it is an artic top, metal top, plastic top as long as you like it. If I could find somebody to pay 2500 for a top I would retire tomorrow !!!!!! thanks again gary.

Well Charles, my education continues! I wasn't in the market for a hard top to begin with, but the condition of this one was too good to pass up, and I also like the look of the oval window. That's what I get for assuming-I've seen a couple dozen M37s with the oval hard top so my assumption was that the oval top was M37-specific.
Thanks!

If you have an excellent condition arctic top for sale, all you need to do is put the word out there in the right place, we just sold one a while back for $2,000.
