Try John at Midwest Military 16075 Highway 13 S., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 Phone: (952) 440-8778. I'm sure he can help you.Storm 51

In '69 you still might have found a fair amount of the old family radios in country too (not everyone got the newest, hottest, slick stuff). So GRC series stuff would work for your truck too. It might not be what all the cool kids have, but there was still a lot of it in VN in the late 60's and...

Welcome to the group! Most of the guys with big trucks seem to be in the southwestern part of the state. So depending on where you are located, that is where most of your help and events will be. Good luck with your truck! We are all very visually oriented here, so you need to post lots of...

Hope your son and daughter had fun! Storm 51

"...but there are all these little pieces of things floating around yet." "A year ago, I thought the wiring would be a major issue. Now, it is just a single punch list item." Keith_J Those are "classic" phrases to describe working on MVs! The first one will be true as long as you own MVs...

Those are nice electrical troubleshooting kits for 24 VDC systems. You should be able to find the manual on the web; if not PM me and I'll try to scan my manual. Good luck with your truck. I've had mine for 32 years, have kept it stock military, and it is the "Platonic Ideal" of "pick-up...

Nice truck to start with! Post lots of pics and good luck! [thumbzup] Storm 51

In my area it is the "Oh wow, that would make a perfect hunting truck!" comment. In the suburbs it's most often just totally ignored. Occasionally some older person will talk to me about the MV's they bought for their farm after WW II. My M-37 / M-42 is a VERY politically incorrect vehicle and...

Midwest Military has them for $125 each, I believe. That is "as is" take offs. John probably also has the studs and nuts to replace any broken ones also. You might give him a call. Shipping is the killer though. :-( Storm 51

You guys might want to check out TM9 Restorations paint products http://tm9ordnance.com/index.asp. He has done a lot of research into mil spec paints (which is all on his website) and he makes a great paint (Catalyzed Urethane) which has worked well for me. It seems a bit pricey, but I've been...

Thanks, 3dAngus! Good luck with your truck. Thanks for the compliment on mine. The paint's not cheap, but to me it's worth the cost. I originally was going to do a 3 or 4 color woodland camo paint scheme, but got talked out of it. I never imagined when I began restoring this truck for the...

You asked for suggestions on the paint, and I suggested one I've had a positive experience with. There are lots of other choices. There's also Rapco and Gillespie (sp?) and there are even some trucks with great paint jobs done with common house paints and "rattle" cans. The website explains...

A paint suggestion for your truck is TM9 Restorations Catalyzed Urethane 1968-1974 Olive Drab 24087. This would be correct for aVN era truck. You might also try their USMC O.D. if you go that route. http://tm9ordnance.com/products.asp These are very hard paints and stand up extremely well...

Looks like a great truck and sounds like the running gear is in good condition also. The M-37's are dependable and fun once properly maintained. There's lots and lots of accessories to collect also! Just like a Barbi doll. Have fun! :beer: Storm 51

You guys back east are fortunate to have so many choices for shelters. Out here in the west shelters are almost impossible to find with the exception of the occasional S-250. :( I'd love to find a S-89 or S-144 or S-318 for my M-37. If you guys have any of these shelters that are under foot or...

Find out if he has the radiator for that truck. That could be a major expense right out of the gate. Storm 51

No, I'm afraid I haven't been to the gulf coast in years (decades, actually). Thanks for the offer, guess I'll keep lookin' Storm 51

Anybody know of a MEP 26A gen set for sale or trade? I'm looking for one to help run my radios and other MV accessories. Please let me know if you have any suggestions about where I might find one. Thanks, Storm51

Well, Bruce if you think there might be anything I can help you with, please let me know! I'll be glad to help where I can. Storm 51

Not sure who's truck(s) you were referring to Bruce, but if one of them was mine, thank you! There are a lot of "Nicely turned out" trucks in this thread; yours being one of them. They all start out as a dream in someones' mind. They sure are a lot of fun, though. Storm 51
