You are making good progress Bruce. I know how much work it is to restore a bed and you are doing great. Didn't know about Rays disks that you had ordered, lucky you. I'm still trying to convince Sandy that I should upgrade to disks but she isn't buying it but now I can tell her about your...
Re: RE: sorry for the temp hi-jack, carter
Judging from the pix in your webshots albums I've seen, one of these days is not far distant in the future for your M37 Bruce. How is the cargo box work progressing? Any recent shots to share and if so I'll say what my AA friends say "Thanks for...
Only a guess Brian but with VPW asking $1200 for a rebuilt winch with out cable, chain, hook or all the rest you mentioned, top dollar maybe 15 to 18 hundred?
Anybody out there bought one recently?

Re: RE: M101 Rebuild pix
Brain,
I did a little welding on the frame but no metal patching, I sand blasted, scrapped, wire wheeled and sanded in order to get the frame ready for paint. Some of the other work that I did was to rewire it for civ. lights and plan to do a separate harness for the...
Cargo box repair has not begun but here a few shots showing what work has been completed. I am trying to mantain 3 civ vehicles and two MV's and this trailer so I only get a small amount of time to devote to eack however benign neglect is what the old 101 ( 1968 Mfg date) has received recently...
Re: Nice work
Thanks, I never posted a link to the entire ablum on G741 for some reason, I guess I thought everyone had probably seen it. My patients and determination to have an M37 were the result of my having seen one being used by the local police to patrol city streets during a blizzard...
Re: RE: Re: RE: M37 Restoration Album on Webshots
I'm not much of a welder when dealing with something that has to be perfect or nearly so. I'm lucky enough to have a friend, Howard, of 30 years who was a master welder instructor at the Ordnance School at Aberdeen Proving Ground who has been...
Re: RE: M37 Restoration Album on Webshots
Thanks, and yeah, I get the picture, but the picture is not complete, also there's the cussing, stomping, bitching, moaning, bleeding, tired, hungry, broke and happy that are also part of it. Carter
I am new to SS and for some of you who have not seen my truck photos here a link to pix I have taken over the past 23 yrs while I continue to repair, restore and rebuild my M37 USA 201010909 there is a long story that goes with the work but I won't put you to sleep you with that...
Getting harder to find in any restorable condition, what you have looks like a keeper to me. I started with one in similar condition but you are already ahead of where I was since you have a title. I had no paper at all, just a truck and I even had to put a front axle under it before I could...
I have an album showing several pix of the type of tools and hydraulic jack issued with the M37 on Webshots at:
