I picked up a M43 and after figuring out a budget to get the original drive train back to running vs doing a V8 conversion, it would be far cheaper to convert the V8, I'll be wanting to tow my command car on a trailer anyway so this being a heavier vehicle I feel it would be a better tow rig...

I have been working my rear off to get my WC56 ready for the Tower Park show and my neighbor Keith on his WC52 also, so the deal is I have this person at the auto parts store overhear me asking for zinc cromate primer and asks "what is that for ? I tell him it is the better coating for sand...

Fellow Mule owners, I could use your help, If you will look in the picture. I have this missing drain plug, it looks to be a water drain for the bell housing but I want to make sure, I don't see where it drains a gearcase. If it is a water drain should I leave it out or install a new plug. I...

Does anyone have a picture of the "Litter kit" for the mule ? or can refer me to what TM would have this kit discribed. I have a couple of litters and I thought it would be different to have the mounts, I was wondering if they mounted across or lengthwise. lengthwise would be the way to go but...

Hi All, I just picked up my new Mule, it is a 7/68 Baifield USMC with 67 hrs on it. It has been sitting for the last 28 years here in Barstow and boy did we have fun picking it up, it did not want to move and it was starting to rain pretty good so we drugg it into a full size Chevy P/U. I'm...

Hi All, I finally picked up the correct Arctic Top for my M37 after a 5 year search, It is serial #807 and it does have the sliding rear window. I will be so glad to get that GMC conversion turd off my truck. Does anybody know how many of these tops were made ? I think they were part of the...

Hello everyone, Aah, just back from Tower Park "Camp Delta" military show. Boy the weather was too nice ! I slept in my radio shelter " A/C'ed of course" and it was great, I included another shot of Chucks M37 B1, The M37 ran great and I managed around 9 MPG @ 65 MPH for a long 800 miles round...

Well I guess it's time to get ready for Tower Park so on go's the Shelter, I made into a sleeper for me plus it really makes the M37 look cool, I'll miss having the top off but I can always pull it back off when I return from Camp Delta. I was lucky to find a original shelter for the M37 that...

Hello, Here are some pictures of a WC51 that I will be fixing up for the owners of 41 years this truck, It is really neat to see these lost in the barn trucks coming out and getting the attention they deserve, this one will still be used around the groves so a complete frame up will not be...

Hi everyone, Thought i would give you fellow WW2 Dodge owners some fresh pictures to look at, I like the pictures so I'll contribute also. The first one I just pulled up from the yard, I'll post some after pictures, it will just be a quickie redo for a picture shoot and the other torn down...

Hi all, I enjoy seeing your M37 stories, I know we all have some to tell and I am bored today so I'll tell one of mine. Last year I was tracked down at my work place by a gentlemen that was losing his house and it had a M37 sitting in the back yard, he said that he had been coming by my work...

Hi 715'ers Question, are the troopseats & bows getting hard to find for these trucks ? I've heard the M211 Deuce bow corners are the same so they should be plentiful but I was mainly asking about the troop seats. I have a bed and the troop set up for it. I was going to pick up a 715 and...

Hello :) I was looking into picking up a M880 and I was wondering how hard is it to locate the troop seats & top bows ? also what a set up would cost me. I think I know where a rear cover is so the framework would be the hard part, if I could pick up the accessories still I might be tempted...

Hello fellow M37'ers I test drove my M37 again today after my transfer reseal and I have some good results to share. I climbed some hills and worked (lugged) the piss out of it, ran it down the HWY @ 3500 RPMs ( love the V8 ) and then took my thermogun and did some temperature checks. What a...

Hello everyone, I have heard over the years from my Vet friends that the M37's like to break axles, well I am asking you fellow M37 owners if you have ever had a axle break on you ? I have been told it was the long one, if so. Do you concur with the long one breaking ? I have a very good...

First off thank you all for the nice replies about my WC56, When I was little I became indulged to someday own a Command Car, I grew up in the L.A. area and "back in the day" my family would go to Universal Studios. There on the "back lot" tour I saw a hurt looking Command Car, I would dream...

Hi all, I have a 1959 s-152 shelter and it was a AN/MRC-60, I am looking for any information on this unit. It has no more radio gear but I would like to know the history on these systems. I did find it was upgraded to a AN/MRC-62 then to a 63 and was used with the AN/TRC-27 teletype, also any...

Hi everyone, I was able to post pictures again so here is my WC56 & Keith's WC52, we have a parade here in Barstow every October so these pictures were taken then and shortly after, Keith built his .50 mount after we copied a original mount. Keith had the M24 so the rest was easy, I think it...
