The windshield mounted hook, that holds the hood in the up position, was removed from my truck. I am trying to find a replacement that I can weld on. Has anyone ever heard of these being sold or reproduced by anyone? Thanks a bunch for any tips> Chris

Welcome! You found the right place.

Finally got the .30 mounted and I'm about done. Still looking for a First Aid kit, and fire extinguisher. With my first military vehicle (any kind of vehicle) project behind me, I'm ready, I think, to start another one. I think I'll work on a WWII WC next time. I did want to thank everyone on...

better photo with the ammo can aligned properly. Here's a better photo now that I have the gun seated on the ammo can bracket support, and the can's aligned.

Source for mount I bought the mount from the fella that makes them for BNG. He's a great guy and does wonderful work. If you need contact info, let me know and I'll give it to you. The pedestal for the M37 is quite tall - 48". You can buy tripod type support legs for it, but I didn't want to...

M37 b1 That's right vydeucedriver. Mine is a 1953, all original, and the additional bolts, characteristic of the door mount, are present. But the spare is on the bed.

Finally got the .30 mounted. There's just something about having a gun on your truck! I was just hooking up the travel bar, and in 5 minutes would have backed out of the garage, but my wife came out to grab some laundry. She glanced at the gun and said "It's not going to fit through the garage...

Thanks fellas. Yes, these decals simply have the same info that is found stenciled on all ammo cans, but they just stick on. They are for display. Since the 7.62 cans are almost identical to the older .30 cans, these stickers allow you to re-mark the newer cans for WWII / Korea display purposes...

Good evening folks. I have a couple 7.62 ammo cans that I want to paint and convert to for use with the .30 on my truck. It seems like I've seen .30 and .50 cal. ammo can decals someplace, but I can't find them on the net or anywhere else right now. Does anybody have a lead on who might have...

Good score! That's a great one for fixing up. Looks generally intact and complete. Third time's a charm!!

Thanks a ton Carter! That was incredibly helpful. I'm thinking maybe it was removed because it would interfere with the Wittenberg hardtop. I'll have to see if I can craft something. Thanks a ton for the pics and help.

Thanks a bunch. I don't see a rod on mine. Is there a picture or diagram of this rod anywhere that you know of? I'd like to see one, so maybe I can work on a replacement. Thanks again for the help.

On the passenger side of the hood, approx where the hood numbers go, there is a small bracket of some sort. It's about 1 3/4" long, 1/4" wide and is mounted at a slight diagonal angle. It's got one rivet on each end attaching it to the hood. It's flat on both ends but is formed into a "C" (open...

The only rear axle I have broken, was the rear right (short). I usually start out in 2nd. But I was in first gear, making a 90 degree right turn, starting from a stop sign, which was on a slight incline. It was right when I first got the truck so maybe it was stressed already. Other than that...

You might want to watch Ebay. There are always M37s on there, in various states - from pretty rough, to frame-off restorations that are factory new condition. You'll see some very clean M37s, for a little more than you'd pay for this one. I understand that location is everything, but they...

Welcome to the site! This place is a candy store of experts, experience and wisdom. You definitely came to the right place. I'm southwest of you, in Salem, Oregon. If you ever get this way, give me a heads-up!

I'm in Salem, Oregon. I've been trying to find a military 16" rim for a spare in my M-37. Has anyone found a good source for rims? I've been trying to avoid paying an arm and leg for shipping, but can't seem to find one lying around. When you don't need one, you can find'em on every trailer and...

Just wanted to say cudos to Lee!! I gave my friend the Wittenberg tip, and I'll be darned if he didn't find an ad from Wittenberg featuring this exact top. Thanks a million Rosco. You were right on. Chris

Thanks. But the Vintage Powerwagon top does not appear to have the ribbed configuration. That's the feature he's trying to find. So, if anybody knows where to find that exact top, please let me know. Chris
