Welcome! I'm in Salem, Oregon. Not too far away. You're more advanced than I am, as I'm struggling through my first one. But this has been an amazing site and the folks on here are just incredible. They've walked me through a few issues so far. You definitely found the right place. The...

I just don't even have the words...I can't get it out of my head...

Good evening. A fello M37 enthusiast likes the style of the hardtop on my M37. He asked who makes/sells this style of top? I have absolutely no idea. All I know is that my truck went from the military, to the U.S. Forest Service, and then on to me. If any of the experts know a supplier(s) for...

Are the handle devices available anyplace? I'd love to try to find some. The fording stack makes perfect sense. Thanks a bunch.

The M-37s I've seen, including mine, have a number of holes that appear to be factory, but I have yet to see anything mounted in several of them. First, on the passenger side is a square tube, identical to the recepticles for the side board stakes, but it extends all the way up to the bed lip...

Marti gave me a hand. I just re-tapped the threads and 3/8 bolts slid in perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks Marti!!!

I have been struggling with finding the proper size bolt for screwing into the threaded holes found in various spots on my M-37. I'm trying to install a jump seat right now, but bolts seem either a hair too big for the pre-threaded mounting holes, or they are too small. Can anyone confirm the...

Here's a couple. These were actually of my father-in-law's truck. He was Battalion Medical Sergeant with the 19th Artillery, 1st Cavalry Division. This photo is actually circa 1959, so it isn't during the War, but it is in Korea. Sorry they are miserable shots. The photo with the trailer is the...

I appreciate the replies! My 1953 M-37 never had a door mounted spare. It's always been in the bed, and the jump seat is still there. So it was used despite the bed mounted spare that rendered it largely useless. This is all great info, but I have to go with Bill W's explanation. First, it's a...

Just curious and thought the experts might be able to shed some light. I am preparing to restore the jump seat in my M-37 bed. But as I looked at that, I'm really curious as to what the purpose of the jump seat really was? It's located behind the bed-mounted spare tire, so it was inconvenient to...

Good evening. I have a MP-65 antenna mounted on a 1953 M-37. I am wondering if anyone has photos of the correct antenna tie down system? I'd like to pull it back and lower it a little, but I have no idea the correct way, or the correct tie down system I need to look for. Thanks so much for any...

Thanks for the tip!

The hard top is interesting. This truck went from the military to the U.S. Forest Service. I have no idea if the USFS installed the hard top, or if the military did it. It's not something I've seen before, but I am very new to this whole thing. I'd be glad to send you additional photos or...

Thank you. Have one located and I'm off and running. Chris

Here's my 1953. I'm getting there. I still need a bed mounted spare tire bracket, A pintle for the 1919 .30 caliber MG, and brakets for the bed sideboards. This project has caused me to run into a lot of fantastic people. This new network of friends has been more fun than the truck itself...

Hi everyone. I am trying to determine what mounting bracket I need for a MP-65 vehicle antenna? I can't seem to find good photos showing the antenna and bracket mounted. I'm not exactly sure how many pieces there are and how they go together. All I have is the 3-piece mast with ceramic base. I'd...

Found one thanks to you guys! Thank you.

Thanks Rosco Actually, I was simply starting out from a stop sign in clear, dry weather. I was turning right, as I gave it gas and the axle just snapped. I have no idea why, and I was driving very slow. But, it's problems like this that allow me to chat with folks like you, and learn more...

I have been trying to find a right rear (shorter) axle for my 1953 Dodge M-37. Everyone seems to have the longer axles, but not the short ones. I've checked with several of the leading sources on the net. Does anyone know where I might find one? I really appreciate the help.

I'm new at this and am hoping you experts can help me. I broke the right rear (shorter) axle on my Dodge, 1953 M-37, 3/4 ton truck. Long axles seem to be plentiful, but I am having no luck with the shorter one. I've tried several of the leading M-37 suppliers that are found on the net. Does...
