    what is a m37 worth?

    I wouldn't go beyond 1500... These trucks are still available and you get them in pretty amazing shape for 5000-5500. When you consider what the restoration will cost, this is over priced in my humble opinion. The only other consideration is proximity. While you can find a lot of M-37s in this...

    Best oil for older M37?

    I live in a fairly mild climate. The extremes run between teens in the winter, to upper 90s in the summer. I have the original motor in my 1953 M37. I'm wondering what oil is the best for these engines? I've had lots of folks tell me not to use synthetic too. Your advice will be greatly...

    Jeep engine replacement cost estimate...

    Hey guys! I'm now done with my M37 and want to move on to another project. I have found a really clean 1943 Ford GPW. It's immaculate and original except that whoever had it, before the current owner, replaced the original motor with a Mazda 4cyl. He used it a lot for reenactments, etc and I'm...

    Finally got the gun mounted

    Gun mount maker info for STSCSS Sorry for the delay, but my computer crashed. If you still want the gun mount maker info, just drop me a line and I'll hook you up. He's a great guy and actually manufactures them for the big retailers. Very quality stuff and great price if you buy direct.

    Fire extinguisher placement in M37

    Thanks a ton fellas. The photos are extremely helpful! Was the bracket screwed into the interior wall with metal screws? Was it tack-welded? I just want to make sure I do it right. Thanks again. Chris

    Fire extinguisher placement in M37

    Evening folks. Can anyone tell me the precise type (a photo would be awesome) of the correct fire extinguisher for a 1953 M37? Also, where were they routinely mounted? I am assuming that maybe the Pyrene Heavy Vehicle type would be right for an early Power Wagon, but wanted to check with the...

    Second parade of the season

    Got a 2nd place ribbon at this one. And a 1st at a parade 2 weekends ago, The M37s win peoples' hearts and minds! This parade required some decoration to be judged. I prefer to show off the truck in its natural state, but the people loved it. There's nothing better than watching the veterans and...

    WW II vintage USN REO truck question

    Not sure where to post this question. A friend of mine just bought the cab, engine and frame from a WWII vintage REO truck. I am trying to find out if there is a resource that would help me run down the numbers on the truck, in hopes of finding some history on this particular vehicle? On the...

    WARNING: People Running RED Lights

    Had a kid run one in front of me the other day... A few weeks ago, I had a kid run one in front of me. He was eyeballing a girl on the sidewalk - don't blame him there - but a 1953 M37 just doesn't stop on a dime! The truck did not want to stop and thankfully, the kid turned right before I hit...
