Really dumb question, I'm sure,... But what is the purpose of all the Manila rope around the front bumpers? And was there a specification for it? I have a new 600' roll of pure Manila rope that is built to military specifications and 1" diameter that came with a couple of 4400 pound pullies...

I'm with ya on properly displaying the flag. I just don't understand where all this came from??? My flag is new, not faded, properly displayed for those outside coming in, and there are no tears. It has never been outside in the weather, and is displayed hanging from the ceiling in the same...

Cannot tell you how many conventions and meetings I have been to where the flag has been hanging from the ceiling like this, military and civilian. Yes, the doors are to the left and the flag is displayed for visitors entering from the outside. What you see is the back of the flag. You guessed...

Two mirrors are always a good idea. If I can find or make a bracket for that right side, I'll add another, even though my father's did not have one, back in 1957-58. After finding out my M-37 was a Marine version, I decided to just go with that, even though it will not perfectly replicate my...

I can't believe I just spent the last two hours mounting a mirror, but I loved every minute of it. Anyone else might have done it in 15 minutes. What joy to finally have my first mirror up. It was so dangerous driving without one, and not being able to see out the rear window. Keep in mind, I...

What a beautiful install. Those mounting brackets around the door hinge look like they were custom made for the M-37. The 90 degree angle brackets also look just like the ones for the bullet light. Mine are different. I might reshape mine based on these pictures. As always Storm, your MV work...

Steve, it does help, where I can see the location, but not the detail. For some reason, I can't open it up and get the normal view. All I can get is this thumbnail, so I cannot see how many mounting bolts are on it. I thought that might help because I'm not sure if your mounting plate is the...

I love all these pictures. Question: My M-37 came without mirrors. I purchased the 6" round one, and the mounts look pretty much the same. Mine is a six hole mount, with three above the stem, and three below, in a triangular pattern. I'm looking at all these pictures for a good close up of how...

Snow? what's that. Thanks for that info. I would have never guessed. As you can imagine, it is difficult to relate to when you never see it. Not sure which tires you are referring to. The ones on the truck now are 90%. Two on the ground (NDTs) are probably 80% and 95%. You can still see the...

If I might ask, what is that on the front of your M-37? It doesn't look like any kind of winch and I can't tell. On another note, I'm putting on new tires today. I'm taking off the NDTs and going to the newer style Superlugs. They look a lot better to me, but I'm not sure about the history of...

OK, I'm going back over and I'll take some more close ups. Update: Looks like nothing more then an L bracket holding it up. Pictures attached.

Storm, are your marine lifting brackets different then mine? If the same, I'll go back and take more pictures.

Thanks Storm. Further curious now... In a real life military situation, can I assume black out marker lights are so you can be seen (barely) but not from a distance. Is it so no one in another vehicle, or part of a convoy runs over you at night, with lights off? It's just the way I would...

Yep, nice pictures and better then mine. I took some this morning of the left rear for some reason, and the bullet light is on the right. :doh: The trailer plug is on the left. Clearly, my mind was on more wire brushing and painting for the day. And yes, I did get more done. This afternoon I...

Update; I found out insurance is so much cheaper if an antique is restored and garaged, so I'm feverishly working on mine to make it look so, even if only temporary. I'm applying paint and wire brushing off any light rust, and hope to put on some stars and newer Superlug wheels and tires to make...

I went through a lot of threads to find this one, so I'm bumping it up to the top. Anyone here have any updates to your M-37, and does anyone have any pictures they can add of their M-37. This is a great thread, with a lot of fine looking M-37s. I hope to get on mine in the spring and paint it...
