The m37 has a close rear cabin who is based in the original bed (it is metal too).Not sure for it's usage...
The parts in the photo was given to me as parts from these trucks.Could you plese confirm thei usage ?

I might be wrong, but the one on the top looks like an air pack. ( brakes)
The top one does look like an air pack and the bottom is a drive shaft U-joint. They both look a bit battle-fatigued, but it is hard to tell from a picture. Rebuild kits for the "long" airpack are available.
 
The bottom one is the shaft between the transmission and the t-case, missing a yoke and u joint though. Im guessing one or both are still attatched to the truck. ;-)

Another one saved! I am very fond of the early gassers. Just take your time and enjoy every step of the journey to getting in on the road. :beer:

Small update guys!
Today I was bought a used gas tank as that ihas the truck is badly rusted and soldered in the past.It comes from a diesel truck but today I was discover that there is 2 types of diesel tanks...One with a very big intake/outlet and one with smaller similar to gas...I get the one with the smaller and a gas in/out assembly.It seems to be in very good shape.Also has an allen bolt to drain instead of the common square bolt...

I imagine Military Vehicles are pretty popular in greece? You guys probably have lots of U.S Military stuff leftover from Korea!
