    2 Pin to 1 Pin Nato Adapter Plug

    Does any one know where to find an adapter plug that allows you to use old style 2 pin jumper cables and ports with the more modern single pin NATO systems? Any idea what they do / should cost? Thanks for any help you can provide. Storm 51

    Anyway to restore faded data plates?

    I had a data plate that was a "photo etch" from 1967 on my M101A1 trailer. The plate was bleached to shiny aluminum. I had to have new ones made by a plate house. Dave Kelone was a waste of time for me. I was after him for over 6 months just trying to get a response about whether he could make...

    pictures on trucks?

    I've got a "Marvin the Martian" cartoon on each side of my truck. There were lots of drawings, "art work" on everything it seems like in Viet Nam...... Here's a couple of pics of "Marvin" on my M-42. Storm 51

    Looking for a Source for TM 5-6115-285-20P

    I acquired a little military Homelite 28VDC generator (17 amps) that needs some light restoration (new gaskets and some packing). It is about the same year as my M-37 (1953) and it would be a nice, light weight accessory for radios, battery charging, etc. I have checked with the usual suspects...

    My first M37, a junkyard find.

    You got a great deal on that truck! Most of the main suppliers for parts are close to you also (midwest military, VPW, etc). You've got a great truck to restore there. Congratulations! Storm 51

    please identify these 28-volt power supplies

    That first unit looks like it would make a nice shop battery charger if you could regulate the output. Storm 51

    new to ss with m37 question

    I believe the distributor wire is part of the front wiring harness. John at Midwest would know or Charles at M Series Rebuild. Currently over at the G741 website there are a lot of threads discussing wiring issues, so you should benefit from a lot of current/recent experience. Good Luck with...

    My new M-37..... Finally

    It's the "then, then, then," part that gets you into the body off, frame up restoration. Got to be very careful whenever you get to the "then, then, then," on any list. Ask me how I know..... Storm 51

    new to ss with m37 question

    There is more than one wiring harness and there are also individual cables (Generator to Voltage Regulator for example). You will need to be a little more precise is describing your specific problem with your M-37. Are you just having problems with your engine? Are your lights not working? Is...

    trip to Colemans Surplus 11/20/12

    Yes, it will but if they are small enough (no more than 16 inches overall length) they will work for the M-37. I need at least one more single and a double, but if they are cheap enough, two of each would be nice! Depending on what those winterfronts are for, they are nice to have (especially on...

    trip to Colemans Surplus 11/20/12

    Were any of those snatch blocks (especially the double sheave ones) of a fairly small size (like for 5/8 or smaller cable)? I'd be interested in some of the snatch blocks depending on price. Also, in your first set of pictures (post #5 picture 8 of 10), the photo of the compressors had some...

    M-37 Batteries

    Mine are 22NFGs. They fit great and work great. No complaints. I don't know if they are "correct" or not, however. Storm 51

    My new M-37..... Finally

    Congratulations! It looks like you got a good solid truck there! I did notice that the distributor vent tubes have been disconnected from the carburetor u-pipe. You might want to reconnect those (make sure they are not plugged first) before you run the engine/drive the truck. If you don't, you...
