Hi Guys,

I just found this great pic of M37's being built on the assembly line. I don't think I've seen it before, so maybe some of you haven't seen it yet either. I found it on the web at Carl Creinemann's M37 site where he documents the restoration of his M37. The link is below.......and there's lots of good info on there. I don't know if Carl is a member of this forum, but if he is.........thanks for the great pics and info on your site. (And I hope you don't mind me borrowing your pic)

I really appreciate the oilslick down the center of the line on brand new trucks. Makes me less anal about stopping them all on mine.

D. Doyle has hundreds of great pictures like that in his two volume set of Dodge trucks.

Hi Bob,

I picked up the set when I was in KS for the MVPA rally. It has an abundance of great information.

Definitely. These are superb books. The two-part halftrack series is equally well done.

So, what are the guys in the picture doing, particularly the one leaning over the windshield?

Good question. Seems like an awkward position to do something, especially on an assembly line where he might have to do it many times each day.

To me, the three guys in the foreground look like they're posed for the photo.

None of them look like they are installing batteries, yet that is what is at that workstation for installation.

Yeah, speaking of awkward positions...........check out the guy squatting down behind the first truck. Imagine doing THAT all day. The one interesting thing I got from this pic is the radiator was black as installed, as were the bed bow corners.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of these pics in David's book, when I get it.

And Carl is a member of this forum-posts every now and then.

I'll also endorse David Doyle's two-volume set. Fantastic material!

Hi Gary,

I figured it to be a great book. I've been holding off buying it to pick it up at one of the east coast meets to save on shipping. I know...........I'm a cheap SOB. But I also might get to meet David in person, which is also pretty cool. If I don't get it this weekend at MTA I'll get it at Aberdeen in a few weeks.

thanks,
bob

Picked up a copy of the book set at the MTA meet in NJ this weekend. Got to meet David Doyle and had a good discussion about the books and other things. Great guy. Very interesting read to be sure, with lots of great pics! We're lucky to have someone that devoted to MVs to make such books.

Yep, still around and kicking, just pulled the M37 from winter storage and am prepping to do some much needed steering repairs

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your kind words, and it was great to meet you as well at Sussex. I am glad that you are enjoying the books as well. I won't be at Aberdeen this year, but I will be at the Findlay show May 20-22.

I also am doing a presentation about Dodge military trucks at the Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society in Eastpointe, Michigan on 15 May. This will include additional photos that aren't in the books. The bigger the crowd the better!

A link to information about the presentation, as well as my show schedule, are now posted on my website, www.DavidDoyleBooks.com.

Sincerely,
David
