I have two M37's at work. One is mint('53) and one is a parts truck('52). I would like to clean up the good one and keep it maintained, that being said I cannot get funding to do it from work(local gov.). So, I would like to do some trading. I am looking for a repair manual and some info on the best place to get plugs and filters. I am hoping I could get some of the mentioned items for items off my parts truck. Thanks in advance. PM me for more details. Mods, please move if this should be in the classifieds.

try g741.org they can point you in the right places. there are a number of places that sell the things you are looking fore. try john at Midwest military or sid beck, and vintage power wagons is a good place to.

Oil Filter is a Fram C21 or equiv. that can be ordered at any parts house. For plugs, are you running shielded cables or or has the truck been converted to civilian? Military plugs are available from any military parts supplier for about $10 ea. Civi plugs are Champion J-8 or equiv. also available at any parts house. Vintage Power Wagons is a good source for most anything, including a reprint copy of the various manuals. Welcome to the site. I worked for a city many years ago fixing army trucks, and I discovered they had an open account at an auto parts store, that solved my procurement problems.

Cabell Garbee in NC is a great resource for info on M37's as well...

Thanks for the help so far. Like I said before I dont want to spend my own money and I wont be getting any funding through work, except for oil maybe. I would still like to trade parts for manuals, plugs and etc....

Why do they have them if they don't want to maintain them?

Jailbird

Good question. Local gov!!! No one has ever shown intrest before me. It just sits in the garage. I take it out and run it around the property. I just want to keep it nice for the next guy.

Why don't you inquire about purchasing it? Maybe you can buy it or have a friend buy it and then sell it to you?

Can you trade parts off of the parts truck for the parts you need? If it has a good fuel tank, it's priceless.

I don't really want it. I'm 6'4 290, I can hardly drive it with the door closed. I just hate to see it rot away. As for the gas tanks, the one on the good truck is fine, i'm not sure about the parts one. I'll remove it when I get back to work, if its good I'd be willing to trade it.
