Thank you ! Thank you for saving these trucks, I know there is a lot of M37's still out there but the day will come when there are none left, then what we going to fix up a Toyota, YUCK ! I drive a M37 daily, what fun, lots of positive attention and many thumbs up ! It is a very dependable...

Here are the before & after shots, the command car keeps getting better as I find more parts for it, it is such a fun vehicle to run around in. I'll be hauling it up to Tower this April

That's a nice to work with, the ones brought to me lately make yours looked restored, With all the scrapping of metal we won't have to much of a selection anymore and complete ones will be very rare as they already are becoming. They are great trucks to rebuild and lots of fun to drive ! It will...

Command cars are the best, great to grab the family and go to the drive in or out for a night in town, I really enjoy mine, lots of work to bring it back but very worth it. It looks very proud sitting in my garage and always starts right up willing to go show it's self off :-) Eric..

Thanks for the replies, I have already built a V8 powered m37 with power steering and power disc brakes and it is a awesome truck to drive, Every modification I did fit in the original bolt holes, hence "no cutting or drilling" The factory axles are holding up well and I have never broke a...

I picked up a M43 and after figuring out a budget to get the original drive train back to running vs doing a V8 conversion, it would be far cheaper to convert the V8, I'll be wanting to tow my command car on a trailer anyway so this being a heavier vehicle I feel it would be a better tow rig...

I guess I'll have to change my Mule oil when I return from Tower Park, I used Valvoline 10-30 in my oil change, I'm glad now I bought some extra filters from Bill Watson. I can say though, my Mule runs very good a quiet (no lifter ticks) Thanks for the good tip postings, I don't want to mess...

Well friends it is packed up on the trailer and I'll be off tomorrow morning to Tower Park. I'll take lots of pictures with it sitting with the other 11 command cars that are supposed to be there for the Show. I'm sure it will be a contender in the ranks, I appreciate all the compliments and I...

I was a little harsh on my responce and I ment no disrespect, you are right the book is enertaining in it's own way, it should have been titled different because some people really think it is a guide to restore their M37, I like the Book and it is not for sale, I'll keep it. I do like the...

I used to read mine in the can, I thought it was a way for Dave to try and recoup some of his investment in his M37 nighmare, all it sounded like to me when I read the book is I need to suck up to my wife and use my retirement to build one. As for informantion ??? what information, I liked the...

I just took this picture tonight, I'm finally ready to take the command car to Tower park for the big military Dodge showcase expo :jumpin: It has been a lot of work getting it ready, not to mention the $$$$ (tires) It is looking so good I thought I would share its coming back to life...

Funny, I had the same thoughts. I was just being our new way of "politically Correct" and showing our new way of "being Sensitive" Ohh, I need to go watch some more TV so I can receive my daily dose of "Subliminal" messages and go buy more foreign products instead of our own made in USA :cookoo:

Hi Sword, yep thats us ! Hope to see you there this year, we are bringing all the toys for the Dodge show, I've been painting Olive Drab all day ! Keith has really put some duckets into his WC52 and it looks awesome. Thanks for remembering us, Eric..

I have been working my rear off to get my WC56 ready for the Tower Park show and my neighbor Keith on his WC52 also, so the deal is I have this person at the auto parts store overhear me asking for zinc cromate primer and asks "what is that for ? I tell him it is the better coating for sand...

They are cool looking trucks, there are about 8 of them out here in the desert but missing the beds. If one of them had a bed I would pick one up. I like the dodges best but for the "different look" they are there. I wouldn't want to ride as a passenger though, too goofy Good luck !
