    Would you be so kind as to take a photo of the radiator guard and mounts where the hood latch catches? Thanks. The cab looks just like the one I have on my 53 M37.

The access panel is where you get at every thing.To take that off,lower the window, look for the X type arm holding the window frame.The window should be sitting on a set of stops. There are small clips about the size of a quarter,remove these, they...

    Wire and Douglas connectors

    I picked up a lot of the Douglas connectors from a vendor that came form Canada. He may be at Aberdeen. He was fair with the price. I 'll have to look if I have any paperwork from him.

    Door Mechanisms

    The best thing is to clean all the moving parts,apply light oil,and replace the guides. As Mike_L mentioned it may take you a few tries to get things lined up. No need to replace the mechanism if it's not broken.

    Restoration Guide

    When I first started on my M37 I picked up a copy. Like mentioned by AN/GRC-46 it wasn't all that useful. Several pages were from TMs. Yea, maybe I should have picked up an extra copy or two if I had any Idea they would be selling for that much.

    Stock Tail Lights

    I don't have the book in front of me, when traveling in black out conditions the front black out lights are for the vehicle in front of you to know where you are. The TM shows how the lights would look at different distances between vehicles.

    M151A1 steering wheel

    When I bought my Mutt it had an A2 wheel. This was quite some time ago, I was new to the Mutt, A friend removed it and replaced it with an A1 wheel. Hope you still have the A1 column. Why change that?
