Thank you, Cape Coastie! I've had it a long time and enjoy working on it as much as I enjoy driving it. They are fun trucks.

I only had problems with one bulb on the two I bought (I use them with the clear lens). I hooked them up with high and low beams and I'm happy with mine for now. However, in fairness, I haven't used them very much either (I've had them for about 2 years). If they start to give me trouble I'll...

Keep in mind that you now have complete control of the budget and you have the final "command discretion" decision making power; therefore you can do whatever you want to accomplish "the mission". Also remember that "no combat ready unit ever passed inspection, and no inspection ready unit ever...

The were different configurations of the M42 Command Truck. There were straight Command trucks and Radio Command trucks. You can tell by the registration numbers (they begin with 201 and 9 digit registration numbers were factory trucks and 8 digit numbers were field or depot modified Command...

Supposedly, certain Chevy S-10 pick up tanks will work, and I've heard of another that I can't remember, will also work. However, used tanks are anywhere from about $200 to $350 before you start to repair them, so I would get the warranty claim started on the tank you have. If you have a nice...

The rear cross member should engage the rear lip on the rear edge of the floor panels. The rear cross member bolts to the L shaped fittings on the aft end of each of cargo bed side panels. Your rear cross member is mounted too low, is the short answer.

Change all the lubricant in the differentials, transfer case and transmission. While you are doing the brakes, check the drums and have them turned or at least cleaned and repack the wheel bearings. Check the steering box and refill. Do NOT tighten the steering until after you have driven it a...

Midwest Military has a M37B1 fuel pick up tube (stock) which has the fuel filter on the end of the pick up tube. It is an improved, modernized version of the original. You might try calling John Bizal at MWM and talk to him about it. I've had my M37 / M42 for almost 40 years and have played...

Will these upgrade kits fit any of the older vehicles? For example, some M37s (B1s) have the type of lighting fixture you have shown and discussed in this thread. The older, non B1 type trucks do not, but they have a metal domed fixture which, I believe provides the same spacing. Is there...

Thank God it is in Texas! I'm in Washington so I'm safe. If I was in Texas, it would be mine and I would be in trouble again. I hope some Texan gives it a good home.

I'm glad to hear that you found the photos helpful. Back in the real world, when these trucks were being used by the military, (I was in the Army back then) they would use whatever was available. Maybe they used square washers, but they also used a lot of split lock washers too. I don't think...

Rear Shackle Photos Here are the photos I promised. They are of both sides, mostly from on the ground looking up. I hope they help. Good Luck!

I'll try to get you some photos this weekend. However, I'm in the same dilemma you are; my bumperettes are in the way. I'll see what I can do.

Was told to get "back-up lights, so... Here are a few photos of what I did in my little truck. As you can see, it has indicator lights that can be dimmed if necessary. They have red lenses to match the instrument lights. The "Rear Work Lights" installed: Here are some photos of the...

Washington state is the same way with this stupidity. I installed "rear work lights" on my truck (M37/M42) with a labeled covered switch. They are NOT reverse lights. Cops will attempt to trick you into calling them reverse lights, because if you call them reverse lights they can cite you...

Thanks again for picking up the PRC-41, Maddawg! Now I just have to find the front data plate and markings or labels for the front panel. That ME-61/GRC is also a very nice little unit that would go well with my GRC-19's (if you ever want to sell it). Please keep me in mind for other GRC-19...

That is a nice looking little truck! It looks like someone put some serious effort into making that a pretty little truck. If it was closer, and I had a place to put it, I'd probably be racking my brain for a way to come up with the money. Thankfully, it is on the other side of the country from me!

Looks like something used on an airfield for a huffer, or generator/battery bank for starting aircraft.
