Riderdan , M37 and the MB/GPW are good MV's to take on as a project . Parts repop and NOS are available . There is a ton of info on line about them . The M37 was my first MV . What Ken said , try to find a MV with a decent body or tub that is my advise also. As far as mechanicals , no...

Your paint color is AF STRATA BLUE . If you do a search you will find a 38A1 in the correct paint . I think done up they look great , just different look than OD .My m37 was ex AF and at one time was Strata Blue . good luck on the restoration and keep us posted

Yup a good group to join , don't forget the MVPA convention this year in June ln South Bend and the Findley Ohio show , both good shows and if your parts vendor is their , they will bring your parts and save you the shipping .

Yup, sounds good , go through the whole brake system , check and repack the wheel bearings and seals and with a good LOF and fluid changes in the trans and pumpkins , this way when it is up and running you are good to go . PMCS !!!! LOL ,

You can use kits if the corrasion is not too bad in the wheel cylinders , if you do have to replace the wheel cylinders try to stay away from the china built repops . Same with the master cylinder and brake booster . What DOT brake fluid do you plan to use ?? You are off to a good start , good...

Great write up Ken , I can only add this , take your time , gather your parts and make a plan and enjoy the rebuild . It will be worth it in the end . (y):tank:

YUP . that's the one , get one of their catalogs

I picked up the metal seat tracks and seat backs from Midwest Military , I also think Vintage has re pops also , you may also find some of the parts on Fleabay , wood is 3/4 red oak that I planed and edged and oiled . They should be painted , but I like the natural look of the oak ,

Ken , it's just a channel with the fixed window on the right and the moveable window on the left . I looked for a LONG time before I found my M37 with the correct hard top , kinda rare at this point , I will wander out to the barn when it stops snowing out , 50's yesterday and snow today ...

Try and find hard top with the sliding rear window . The hardtop with then oval window is a CCKW top .

Not sure it is on SS , I picked up the kit , removed the distributor from the truck and followed the instructions with the kit and reinstalled the distributor timed it and we were off to the race as they say. As a aside make sure all your distributor vent lines are installed helps keep the...

Have you checked the classified section for a M35 ? also you could also place an add for vehicle wanted in the same section . Do not be in a rush for your MV , nice ones are out there , just keep looking . As this is your first MV , I think you should be looking for a more ride and drive MV ...

Defiantly a learning curve , but you learn fast , but they are a work out . I agree some people male it look easy .

BIG tire hammer and a pry bar , LOL !!!

A nice upgrade to the ignition system in the future is a Pertronix ignition system , does away with the points and condenser , while still using the original distributor and coil , not a lot of money and fairly easy install , bob k

absolutely good advise , it is what I have done !!!!

No problem Ken

Just got back from the PO , the M37 book and a original TM 8030 operators manual are on there way. I also included a few goodies , LOL , should be there Saturday , enjoy the read , bk (y) :tank:
