I've been thinking along these lines myself, but I've had no luck finding any pics of IDF M37 markings. Do you have any reference photos you could share? For the record, mine's not Israeli, But I want to have a little fun before going full restoration, so I'm going to play dress-up a little.
So I finally got the M37 on the road, licensed and all that stuff. Brakes are still a little sketchy, but I'll be replacing the leaky line this weekend.

I brought home an M37 yesterday. Got a great deal on a machine in great shape. My Dad collected military vehicles when I was little. I remember playing on the jeeps, riding in the ambulance, and being very angry at my Mom when I heard that she stopped him from buying a tank. (It's still a bit of...
