The truck was purchased in 1988 after I advertised in the Selkirk paper for an M37 with a winch. At the time I owned another M37 that did not have a winch and I wanted to put a winch on that truck, as it was a very good truck. However, the new acquisition was stored in Winnipeg and the truck I wanted to put the winch on was stored out at the lake. Because of the close proximity of the new truck, I started taking it apart and eventually it was disassembled completely. After that, I had the pieces steam cleaned and then sand blasted. All the major components were painted by Frontier Toyota body shop when it was on Fort Street. The engine was rebuilt by Piston Ring and the transmission and transfer case by Central Standard Transmission. The winch was done by Prichard Engineering. I put all the pieces back together. The truck safety inspection was done by Mobile Brake and Clutch.The M37 was used by the Military up to about 1978. It is rated at 1500 lbs cross county and 3000 lbs on the highway. The Canadian military purchase these trucks from late 1951 to 1955. In the USA they acquired these trucks starting in late 1951 and continued acquisitions through 1968. Mechanical parts for the trucks are readily available from dealers in the States and many but not all body parts are still available. Tailgates, front fenders, driver’s side doors, are difficult to find NOS.
The trucks have fairly low gear ratios, 5.83, to enhance the cross-country capability, resulting in lower highway speed. Many owners that are not driving cross country have changed the differential gears to 4.89 which result in slightly higher road speeds. Most American trucks do not have a hard top and were equipped with a canvas top that can be removed. The hard top is just bolted on and could be changed to a soft top.
The military had various add-on kits to adapt these trucks to various conditions or uses. For example, there is a fording kit to allow these trucks to drive through water up to the depth of the drivers head. The fording kit is included with this truck and has extensions to extend the exhaust pipe and air breather vertically to allow operation under water. All the wiring harness connectors are individually water proof connectors. The spark plug wires, distributor, generator, voltage regulator, etc. were all sealed with water tight connectors. A hot water cab heater was a kit for cold weather. This kit is mounted on the left front fender. It is a NOS kit and is mounted on the truck. An Arctic heater kit was available to heat the engine coolant and circulate hot water through a heat exchanger in the battery box. This equipment was fired with gas from the fuel tank and electric fuel pump. One of these units is mounted at the bottom of the passenger front fender. This get is also NOS(new old stock). The arctic heater kit, because it was gas fired allowed the operator to warm up the engine anywhere without electricity.

Gas prices down, 707-hp engine production up... USA!
Tue, Jun 30 2015On Saturday, the United States of America will celebrate its 239th birthday. That means fireworks, barbecues, block parties, and, oh yeah, Hellcat engines and low fuel prices. The most American of (Mexican-built) powerplants, the big, loud, supercharged, 707-horsepower Hemi is slated for yet another production boost to match up with some serious demand, while the dino juice it runs on is cheaper than it's been in over half a decade. The Saltillo, Mexico engine factory already produces some 4,000 Hellcat engines each year – that's in addition to the Tigershark four-cylinder, the 5.7-liter Hemi, and 6.4-liter SRT Hemi V8s – and it's not entirely clear how many more might get added to that total. What we do know, though, is that Fiat Chrysler can't build the engines fast enough. "We're going to build more [Hellcats] for 2016," SRT boss Tim Kuniskis told Automotive News. "It's a small sliver of what we sell, but it really creates a halo for the rest of the lineup. For example, the next highest car, the Scat Pack Challenger, I have essentially a zero-day supply. It's sold out." This bit of good news comes on the back of something equally good – low summer gas prices. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the nationwide average for for "all formulations" of fuel in June sits at $2.885. Ignoring the remarkably low prices we saw in January and February of this year – figures that themselves hadn't been seen since May of 2009 – the national average hasn't sat that low since October 2010. So yes, it's a very a good time to be an American gearhead.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
