We’ve just recently completed a total frame off restoration on this truck. I wanted a factory original, right off the assembly line look, with no military markings on this particular truck. We sent all nuts and bolt to have them cadmium plated. Painted every component piece by piece and bolted the truck back together. I am so proud of the detail and the way this truck looks!
A couple of comments from the purist at our military rally the past couple of weeks make me wonder if I did the right thing. “Best looking M37 I’ve ever seen but, those silver bolts??? You need to paint um”
Even though I was told before I started this project, that many of the earlier trucks and jeeps came this way from the factories and were then touched up or repainted by our military, I don’t have a bit of documentation for.
I’m looking for anyone out there that may know of any documentation, photos, websites w /photos, etc... I would also welcome any comments (good or bad). I’m also posting a site that has way too many photos but, please take a look.

Thanks,
