YelloW M37's

[cletrac (RIP)]

All the equipment used on the runways in Canada seemed to be painted yellow for visibility reasons. My Cletrac M2 was yellow with BCATP markings.

This web page http://bathead.com/wc51blue.html lists a number of "MV's in Yellow (officially & otherwise)".

It includes M37's and other trucks, some of which were in US Navy use (which surpised me as I thought these were either OD or gray).

Speaking of which, here's an M37 in Navy livery. Doesn't it look very smart?!?

Last week I was in Saskatoon and could not find the truck. There was however a Kijiji ad for a Yellow M37 in Saskatoon for $3,900.00. It must have sold as before I could link the ad here it was removed. I did however get some photos from the ad prior to it being removed and here they are.

That's it. I clearly remember the white paint over the RCAF door decals. Is $3900 a good deal?

Interesting to note that the truck does not show any signs of olive green other than the tailgate which may have been replaced at some point.

Value of a Dodge? That will always be in the eyes of the buyer.

Reviving an ancient thread, I know... But... I have been carefully removing paint on my M37CDN, and on the original factory paint I have found a yellow triangle and there is a RCAC emblem on the hood, and also a red rectangle that I am still uncovering on the other side of the hood. Also remnants of a Mobile Command decal and a Canadian flag with MANY coats of OD and 1 or two coats of camo. ANYWAY... over the original factory paint and the “A” squadron marking, the door was painted entirely yellow. With several coats of OD and camo on top. The yellow is really stretchy almost like latex house paint and you can peel large sections of it off. I haven’t attacked the rest of the truck yet, but I assume the rest of the vehicle was probably yellow at one time, too. Can’t see just the doors being yellow???
