Thanks everyone!

I'm sure that's true, Bill, and something that I'll have to find out for my own self. That's what this year will be about. This is my first MV and first non-daily driver. It's old and I know it needs some work but just what and how much I'm still finding out. After a few more repairs and new...

Thanks, I assure you it is the same truck! Come to the COMVEC show and I'll give you a ride, you won't believe how much smoother and quieter it is (well, as quiet as a M37 can be. We all know I'm not sneaking up on anyone in a M37 :shock:)

Okay, as for the box material, it's 1/2" MDO faced and pre-primed both sides. The facing is resin, so no wood grain gets thru and the factory primer has a slight texture that looks like rolled steel. Handles and cuts like plywood, but the sheets are made for outdoor signs and when the edges...

At Ease! At Ease! As of now, I don't have any way to affordably transport the M37 out of state (or more than about a 50 mile radius from home) so it's staying close to home for the time being. If things in my life change for the better (ie a full time job, etc) I could see having the means to...

Some of those were primer but at least 48 were color. I used Randolf 24087 as sold by Peter DeBella Jeep Parts. The Randolph 24087 is the old FS number and according to Randolph that same color formula is also listed as 24084 which is the modern closest reference to the 24087 used in Vietnam...

A 5 ton truck would sneeze at that but a M37 would suffer and groan!

Ha ha! Didn't use either! Only about 200lbs of added weight. I'm actually shocked you didn't notice that the back end is still sitting high!! Better get those eyes checked my boy before Charlie sneaks up on you! Didn't take any inside pics yet as the only thing in there is the crate I built...

Yeah, I know. I just can't decide which pic I want to use.:confused: I'll have to change it again when I get the side window armor done and more pics. My life is soooo complicated!!!:shock: :cookoo:

Thanks everyone! I've killed off more than a few brain cells sniffing paint fumes from about 70 rattle cans! :shock:

Thanks, and good luck with your M37. I painted mine with rattle cans, about 48 to be exact! Truck, armor box, the whole deal. Take your time and it will come out fine.

My M37 tribute guntruck. Short box armor, based on Otto, Raider's Light Work and others. Two M-60's, one each side as seen in several photos. Still in progress as I have the side window plates to make up and the interior of the box to outfit, but otherwise, ready to go! Lots of time, effort...
