Here is a photo of the gasket location on my hardtop it is between the hard top external skin and the sliding window frame. I will get a measurement Monday for the length of the gasket material I need. Thanks for your help hndrsonj!

Is this recent enough that they still might have some in stock? Could you post or PM me the name and location of the glass shop? I would really like to find some of this material. Thanks for your reply and any help you can provide, hndrsonj!

Hello to All, I'm looking for the rectangular gasket that is on the rear side of the M37 hard tops. It is located between the sliding rear window frame and the hard top external skin. I realize that finding one will be difficult (finding unicorns would probably be easier), so I would be happy...

FrankUSMC you prove my point. I would buy those trucks right now and send you the money anyway you wanted.....EXCEPT... the shipping would be thousands of dollars to me from North Carolina. Sad and frustrating!

I can send you some photos of those pieces if you PM me your direct email. These trucks (M37 & M42, M43) used to be cheap, disposable beaters. Logging companies, mining companies and farmers / ranchers used to buy them cheap and beat them to death. They are not cheap anymore, the parts have...

My daughter calls my truck "the reverse Dorian Gray" truck after a story by Oscar Wilde about a guy whose picture ages while he stays young. She says (correctly) that the longer I own my truck the better it gets, while I get older and uglier....

There is even another smaller (and getting ever smaller and smaller) niche out there of the old GRC-3, -5 & -7 radio sets (including the RT-70) and the GRC-19 and teletype units. I've got some of those for my truck and the only really useful part is the RT-70 at shows and ralleys IF someone else...

I'll see you there Jim. There is also a memorial service at 9:00 AM at the same location. They actually have a very nice permanent veterans' memorial right in downtown Mill Creek at the same location as the parade (Veterans Monument at Library Park, 15429 Bothell-Everett Hwy, Mill Creek). My...

You're welcome! I hope it helped.

Wire 27 goes from the ignition switch to the fuel gauge in the dash. The spider harness behind the dash is all wire # 27 and is the power for all the dash gauges. Wire # 28 goes from the fuel gauge to the fuel level sending unit on the fuel tank. Wire # 33 goes from the temperature gauge in the...

I got 2 because I want to measure angles in both directions. Not because I'm afraid of rolling the truck, but because I want to end the arguments over how steep the road is. I've had my truck going across a steep slope before. Everybody bails out (including me) well before the truck's limits...

Thanks, Bill! Maybe you can PM me with where you got them. I have found a bunch of civilian ones that are very similar but they don't have both scales, which would be nice to have. Thanks!

Where did you get those? I've been looking for some for my truck. How big are they? Thanks!

They are nice trucks. I certainly like mine.

Well, I found the answer to my original question (thanks to your excellent photos). The old vehicles (M37s in my case) have a push and twist bulb while your units have a screw type bulb. So, unfortunately these conversion kits will not work. I wish this was not the case, but, oh well. Thanks...

I have most of the 100 Amp generation system for the M715 (all of it except the alternator). I have no use for this kit. I bought it years ago because I was told it also fit a M37 (it doesn't). PM me if you are interested.

Welcome to the forum! That is a very nice, straight truck, with the 100 Amp system, a hardtop in beautiful condition and a great looking candidate for a restoration. I hope you keep it stock. There are lots of standard military variations if you want something a little different. The 100 Amp...

The Canadians used a 251 in their M37s. It is longer so their radiator moved a little, but everything else works. You will find that a visit to G741.org is very helpful to your quest for knowledge of M37 variations. Also, the transfer case is a major problem regarding high road speeds. Because...

That is the problem I have with my truck. Working on it is as much (or more) fun than driving it (especially in town). It is like an adult Tonka truck (old style metal ones) or a Lego truck.

Pretty much this ^. The Army used to do the immersion all the time, but back in the day, they had unlimited free labor to do all that post-immersion stuff, so they didn't care. Now it is just you (or me, if I do it); so it is a lot less fun and why I quit doing it (up here in Washington state...
