1962 M37 Newbie in Maryland

[jrodjared]

Hey guys, just got started trying to bring an old 1962 M37 back to life. It's been a long journey to this point. We bought the truck for my dad back in 2006 or so off of E-bay. It came from Texas (49th Armor, Texas National Guard I think?) Had it shipped to NJ, where it sat for another few years. My dad tinkered around with it, but I decided it was time to get serious, so we brought it down to Maryland.

Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello! Here are a few pics and videos. I will try to post more as I make progress.

Yah i tried that with the code, it doesn't seem to work with Google Picasa images, that's what I was getting at. Probably going to upgrade to the Premium membership, but just wanted to post what I had so far.

Questions

I forgot to ask, are you still on active-duty and working at Ft. Meade.
I remember the Motor Pools at different Duty Assignments, they were great! It's raining like CRAZY right now, I just did a second coat of od this morning, it had already did the skin thing so no fish-eye thank-goodness!

Yup, still active duty, I was thinking of taking a ride over to the motor pool on post. What do you think the chances of them having any parts for the M37 could be? I think it's a pretty far fetched shot, but why not? Wouldn't it be funny if I asked them, and they were like "funny you should say that..." and lead me to the 'Ye Old Parts Room"! Hahaha

Now that I have a premium subscription, let me share some photos :-) This is the M37 on the trailer from NJ and then its arrival at Fort Meade, drawing a crowd on the very first day.

Taking inventory, and found a mouse living in the box with new parts in it. Grrrr.
