I'd certainly be interested in seeing how this was done. I'd love to have a photographic record of how it is done. Thanks, Storm 51

There are a couple of articles in PS Magazine about the lube fittings and "red circles" around them back in the day. I deduced from reading the articles (or "Ask to Connie") that they were a hold over from WW II. They were apparently discontinued some time in the mid 1960's (I think). I still...

Very nice work! I really like the grease fittings being red. Nice touch. I hope you post more pictures of your progress. Storm 51

Please do! I'd love to see more pictures of the interior (cab & bed), and any other details you'd care to share. Storm 51

That is a beautiful truck, rosims (post #127)! The M-42 is my favorite version of the M-37 series. You've done a wonderful job restoring that truck! I didn't think Louisiana had any solid ground. Storm 51

That is part of the Arctic kit for the M-37. It is quite a kit, too. It has an insulated floor and that top is quilted and insulated. There is a solid, wooden, insulated full length door for the rear of the bed with solid walls on each side of the door (I've got a picture of the rear of the...

Sorry majorhitt, that is 3dAngus's garage, not mine. However, I certainly wouldn't mind having some of the toys in that garage (I'd need the garage too, so I would have a place to store them). :D Even the M-37's and M-43's I saw when I was in the Army back in the late '60's all had 2 mirrors...

Thanks, 3dAngus! All those brackets are just stock M-37 parts. On the right side of the truck there is a bracket mounted beneath the mirror brackets (against the skin of the truck) for the installation of the fording kit air intake pipe. However, this long piece of vertical channel does not...

Mirror Brackets Here's some photos of my mirror brackets (right and left). My mirrors are not hit by the doors on either side with the windows rolled up when the doors are opened. Hope the pictures help. If you would like more, just tell me what you would like to see. Storm 51

"So this is how the 'green disease' metastasizes?" Yes, yes it is. 8) You now have two trucks. One has been abused and bastardized and one is stock, but naked and needs a body. It is now your responsibility restore the abused one to a healthy state and clothe the naked one with a new body...

That looks like one cold truck. I think you need a heater and a garage. Storm 51

Thank you so much, 3dAngus! That helps immensely! Those are exactly what I was looking for. It is a rather simple attachment, but is nice to see how it was actually done and be able to know that it will accommodate the USMC lifting bracket . The wiring modification shown in the first photo is a...

My USMC lifting brackets are exactly the same as yours, down to the detail of only having 1 lifting shackle. :lol: Why is one shackle always missing on these bracket sets? aua Oh well, another part to add to the search list! Storm 51

Thanks for trying to take the pictures, 3dAngus! I really appreciate it. Sorry it got confusing and wasted your time. The black out lights are from the old, old days when you didn't want to be seen from the air on night movements. The little triangles in the red part of the light were "distance...

Thanks for the link, Carter! I should be able to build a bracket from one of those photos (unless you know of where one might be for sale?). My trailer has one on the right rear, but that bracket will not work on the M-37. On the M-37 I have to mount the light outboard of the right tail light...

It is a blackout marker light. If you have the military 3 lever light switch, one of the positions is B.O. Marker (Black Out Marker Lights). It should light up along with the lower portions (the red area of the tail lights) of the other lights when the upper lever is in this position (first...

Truck looks great, 3dAngus! That looks like quite a bit of work since you got it. Hagerty Ins. had me take the pictures and only asked me if it was stored inside. They didn't even ask for pictures of the vehicle inside the garage. I don't know what insurance company you are using, but I don't...

You got more there than I think you realize. You have both complete front axles which means spare 3rd members, hubs, axles, etc. You now have a spare transmission and transfer case. You may have a spare steering box (I couldn't really see the front left frame very well) and cross members...

At this point, I can give you a "probably". Storm 51

So is the slave plug on the front of a CUCV a male or female?
