Have you contacted Bill Lammers in Ocala, Florida? He posted a topic on g741.org in the Swap Meet section that he's disposing of his sizeable collection of parts, and he specifically listed fuel tanks.
Broncorick, that "L" shaped terminal is an attachment bracket for an unused Douglas connector. There is likely no pin on the male half of the connector (the half attached to the "L" bracket), so it doesn't connect the circuit to ground.
You'll usually find one of these "L" bracket dead ends...
Interesting looking lower lever section on that PTO. Maybe something from a civilian Power Wagon or an XM708 dump truck to allow for a double-ended PTO?
Take a look at Fig. 90 on page 177 of TM9-8030 (May 1955). There's an exploded view of the pieces that make up the rear engine mount (which is actually a bell housing mount, as the engine is only directly supported at the front).
Glad that TB will be of help. Please post some photos of the conversion when you're done. 8-)
Since I've been contemplating the 100amp alternator modification, I was wondering where you sourced your kit from? All in one group, or did you have to obtain the individual parts from different...
I can't find a supplier code in the ORD 9 SNL for the body tub, so it might have been assembled in house by Chrysler. The only other likely candidates would be Briggs or Budd, but Briggs doesn't appear in the list of suppliers in the front of the SNL for the G-741 vehicles.

The only military video I've found that has M37s in it is Study in Vehicle Mobility. But it also has a variety of other military vehicles (Gama Goats, MUTTs, M35, etc.)
There's a good chance that the original military registration number is hand written on the Chrysler factory build card. It was on mine.
You can request a copy of your truck's build card here: http://chryslergroupllc.extra.chrysler.com/company/Heritage/Pages/Historical-Services.aspx

"1268107" is the Chrysler part no. for the M37 / M42 frame assembly.
"1268109" is the Chrysler part no. for the M37 / M42 left frame rail.
The "MC" stamping is probably the supplier mark, which was Midland Steel Products Corp. Midland Steel had plants in Cleveland and Detroit (the former...
The ziploc bags are great for smaller parts. The small plastic pill bottles are good for the little stuff, too. For the items too big to fit in a baggy, I use manila shipping tags and thin wire.
