Bill, can you find a USA number from a VIN? If so, I'd be interested in the USA number for mine, SN 80048605. I know it was built in Mar 53 but that's about it. Sorry, don't mean to hijack the OP's thread....

Welcome to SS. There is an MV show (with flea market) at the Quonsett Air Museum on Sept 24/25 sposored by the RIMVCC. Looks like your not too far from there (closer than me, for sure!). Gilbert is coming up the following Fri/Sat and is one of the largest MV flea markets in the NE.

Welcome to SS. I just recovered my first M37 yesterday. Be sure to also check out the nice folks at g741.org (site just for M37s). A lot of folks frequent both places and I've found both sites to be helpful.

See, Jeff, you are correct. I take great pics and alot of that is knowing when not to press the shutter release. As of right now, I can't do pics the way I know they should be done so instead of posting something unworthy of my talents, I'm going to wait a few days [thumbzup] In all...

M37 Recovered! Pic Added I just finished recovering my first MV, a 1953 M37. The day went well, with only the last 40 miles in the rain. I had to remove the cargo bows to get it in the garage so I got soaked doing that, but otherwise an uneventful day....just the way I like it. No pics, with...

I sure hope so Bill! I need something for fun, little to no drama. I know MV collecting (or any vehicle for that matter) can be an exercise in frustration but I'm hoping it will bring me more joy than grief! In the short term, if I can start it I'll consider that a major victory!!!:beer: (And by...

Thanks Guys. Follow up question, I assume it's best to leave it in 4th gear or better in N?

Good point! Thanks

I actually wasn't going to take a camera but what the heck. If it puts the weight over I'll send you the ticket!

Thanks all that's what I'll plan on. I've watched the Ice Road Truckers a bit with their big loads and they always seem to cross. I'd never use the same attach point for multiple ties and even though it is light by some standards I don't take chances......well at least not with that.

Thanks, not a rental, using a friends rig. Remember hearing that crossing side to side is better. Ain't messing around with 5800lbs of M37

Planning to recover a M37 next week and was wondering what the best way to chain it down to the trailer is. Will be using chain binders. Cross pattern side to side? (Right side truck to left side trailer) Front/back outward or inward under the truck? Want to do it right for safety (and the...

Might be worth contacting Royal Purple to see if their synthetic would work. I've heard only good things in general, but nothing specific regarding MVs (other than it seems to quiet down the transfer case in a M37).

There is a good article on split rims in the latest issue of Military Vehicles magazine.

Nice job on the resto. I just found one locally that is pristine, with all inserts, 1959 dated (so Nam appropriate). I'll have to get a shot or two when I get the chance. Was a few $$ more than yours, I'm sure....

That must have been well after 1pm. That's about the time I bailed (got there at 8am) and the MV stuff was still there. Not sure what happened to the M38 with trailer, I got him to the MV area, got talking with some of the folks from the MVMVC and never saw him again. One thing I learned early...

A couple of teasers: More at: Barrington Truck Show 2011 Photo Gallery by baywing at pbase.com

The rain held off, hit it on the way home. Great show, nice to meet you General [thumbzup]

Weather looks good so far, so it's still on my calender! Looking at Mapquest for directions......

Shameless bump. It's this coming Sunday!
