Greetings all,
I've been recently active on the Steel Soldiers website, but I thought I'd dip my toe in the dedicated M37 waters. I've been working on my truck which I purchased in high school in 1972.
Does the hook-shaped attachment to the plate spring clip which joins the spring U bolts have any function? I can't seem to find any information in the manuals, though the graphics show the part clearly. I would attach photos, but the file size is too large. Thank you for your help.

Re: Plate spring clip
Yeah, you have to downsize the photos to get them to post.
Are you talking about those little things that almost looks like someone welded a small open-end wrench on to the thing? I've wondered what those are myself.

Re: Plate spring clip
Those are for the jack. It has a spud that fits the casting in the spring plate.

And those original jacks are hen's teeth.

Looks like an adapter for the floor jack would be a good winter project!

I agree that those jacks are completely unavailable.
Guys, sometimes you don't need to resize, just crop the image like I did here. C'mon let's get a bit tech savvy, this site needs more pictures!
