    I fixed my air pack leak....

    I agree with Doghead. After working saturday to free up a sticking gas pedal, I took it to the station for diesel. As I was putting it in its parking spot back home the pedal went to the floor. I almost had a heart attack. A steel brake line gave way on the front rear axel. What if this...

    Unsure of restoration

    If its been at a trans shop for five years and they can't find parts, their worthless. Get your truck out of there. There's plenty of vendors selling m-37 parts as they are one of the most common MV's.

    Selfridge deuces-what did you get?

    fitting door glass

    Fire extinguisher placement in M37

    Here's a picture of the bracket mounted on the passenger side cab wall. This is the correct mounting place and bracket. The picture is a little fuzzy because I had to blow it up. After a certain year(1955 I think) they were no longer included.
