Anybody out there have a sugestion on what type of primer is best for troop seat wood? I plan to use the same enamel I used on the truck. Can I use the same primer? The primer I'm using is a red oxide primer (napa brand) and the enamel OD is Gillespie from Rapco.

Well, I need more help. I purchased a first aid kit that I thought was correct for my early M37. It won't fit. Does anyone have pictures or dimensions of the first aid kit that was mounted in early M37's on the passengers side seat bottom? The first aid kit I bought keeps the door from closing...

Well, it's been 3+ yrs since I started a frame off. Tried to start her up Sat, but she just backfires and pops. Here's what has been changed:
- Ran pretty good when parked.
- Installed new fuel pump
- Installed new carb
- Installed new distributor, tried to set timing close before install...
Can anyone tell me where the flasher unit is supposed to be mounted on an m37B1? I have an M37, but I am adding turn signals.
