fyi, in case you didn't see this; http://www.g741.org/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2275

I think someone once mentioned that one option is to rent a trailer desinged to carry a Bobcat. The claim was that they tend to be cheaper to rent than car carriers and are designed for the heavier load. I can't confirm these things, but it's something to look into.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you you put the transfer case in neutral? Do you mean just the front, or is there a way to put the front and back in neutral at the transfer case?

Can anyone tell me what the proper float level would be for the two different needle types? Thanks

Very nice! congratulations

My understanding is that many of the earlier trucks had the door mounted spare added later, so I don't think it would be considered wrong for your truck. Just my 2 cents.

I'd prefer to leave the canvas off for parades if only to have better visibility.

Thanks for the help! Forigve me if this is (another) stupid question, but how can I tell if the vent is stuck open or closed?

I have removed the bed from my M37 and in the process I removed the fuel filler neck from the bed and the gas tank. There is some corrosion inside the neck. Inside I see about 10-15% rust and the rest looks like whitish paint, so overall it's not too bad. The part that slides out is stuck in...

The SC title that I received from the seller when I purchased my M37 says “040” under “weight.” Does anyone know what “040” means? I'm guessing it's some range of weights, but what range? On the application for a new title I have to indicate the vehicle's weight in lds. Hopefully "040"...

The door handles and window knobs don’t work too well on my 1954 M37. I’ve removed the doors from the truck as part of the overall restoration and I plan to open up the doors to work on the mechanisms inside. I plan to track down the appropriate technical manual before I begin, but other than...

The only thing I can figure is that some libraries are used to paying huge sums for certain types of books. Some of the people doing the buying for these libraries don't really know what they are doing and/or they have to spend their allotments by a certain date or lose it. They may simply buy...

Black type fixed. Does anyone happen to know which manual I might find this in?

I am lucky enough to have a photo of my late father-in-law standing alongside an M37 when he was in the Navy during the late 1950’s. He told me numerous times how he enjoyed driving it around the desert at White Sands, MN. He saw huge areas of the desert that had been turned to glass by the...
