    My 1954 M37 Recovery

    Yes, it was a GSA truck. The red you see is actually an orange-red. I was actually thinking a repaint in a lime color... We'll see though. Orange-red and white is OK for now. Mechanical is priority to body, at the moment. As I said, it was worth waiting for. I have watched worse trucks sell for...

    My 1954 M37 Recovery

    It apears the FD had a gasoline-powered pump on the front. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but I guess it worked for them....

    My 1954 M37 Recovery

    Just thought I'd post up some pics of my latest recovery. I have been looking for one of these for a few years now, and it's been hit-and-miss. I looked at a lot of really rusted trucks, before I found this one. (I can't believe how easily the cowl area on these trucks deteriorates!) Anyhow, my...

    What are these?

    Actually, if anyone has a use for them, I would be more than happy to get them out of my yard. If you provide shipping accomodations, (i.e., you come get them out of my yard), someone may have them for free. I'm in NW PA, - PM me with your interest.

    What are these?

    What are these? My guess is that they are CUCV pickup troop seats? This is only because an item I purchased had them in the bed. (and it wasn't a CUCV.) Do they have any value in the condition they are in?

    M37 Carb Questions

    Allright, I know a carbuerator goes here, but is it a Ball & Ball carbuerator? Was there more than one option for carbueration on this truck? The linkages are shown in the pic as well. What all pieces should I be looking for to install a carb? Sorry, but I have never seen a carbuerator on this...

    What is this?

    Appears to be some kind of trailer cargo box. It has a rounded top, and a hinged one piece door with a twist handle on one end. What's the nomenclature? Ideas?

    Grass Fire Deuces in action

    As much as I do genuinely love wildland fire, I am glad I am not in your situation with the drought. Perhaps we could work out a trade, with some Texas heat for some PA snow? And for gosh sakes, stay safe out there. Even when we do get woods fire, our asbestos forests just don't burn like that.

    Grass Fire Deuces in action

    I'm thinking we have greatly differing fire seasons up here in NW PA... On 1-27-09, we had 1-1.5' of snow,... and it doesn't burn for anything...

    Which is EXACTLY WHY I haven't picked up my OWN deuce!! Oh, wait.. I think it's because I already have too many other irons in the fire. Allwell, I can dream! (fights the urge to buy an M35... :( )

    Bringing "IT" home

    I think that front lightbar is a Whelen. The corner strobes *might* be too. I also think that the cast aluminum siren speakers u r missing are made by CPI. That is a good looking rig. I am glad that you are leaving it as an ambulance.. few ppl do that anymore.
