M37 A Frame for winch?

[STSCSS]

Has anybody ever seen or has pictures of the A frame that was used with the M37 winch? I have come across one and need some information. I have the FSN number 41-k-87-150 the drawing number K8337113 and the ??# DA-20-ORD-16718
Thanks
Joe

Yes I saw those A frames and the parts look like a smaller version than what is on a m35. I think I will see if I can get some pictures to post once I get a chance

I had one for my M37 and used it worked great. Was easy to get to much hung on one and the rear of the truck would comes up off the ground . Put a block between the frame and the front axle that way you won't mess up the springs. Get it and use it put some extra weight in the bed. You also have to remove the cab top for the a frame support cable that hooks in the pintle hook.

M-37 A Frame Rig

Here are a couple of pictures of the A frame rig on the front of an M-37.

This outfit was photographed at the June 2009 Dodge Power Wagon Rally in Iowa.

The owner is from Baraboo WI and the rig is as he used when was assigned to an engineer unit that specialized in POL including erecting oil tank farms in the 1960's.

Do you have any more photos of the front of this M37?

Catman,

Great pictures of the frame. I take it the support in the bed is a custom built?

There are a couple of old photos here showing an A frame setup. I've seen a few 'bubba' versions too but this looks original.

Gee thanks guys, Just one more cool thing to research to build for my M37 when I get it. This site is going to fry my brain with cool mods to do before I even find the right truck to start working on.
I'm sure I will be asking for help with lots of questions before and after I get to the purchase time.
