M37 Restoration (53-41242)

[Ed Storey]

Wayne, CFR plates came into use about 1970 or 1971, you need provincial plates for the period you are depicting with your markings. You have to watch the CF marking guides as they changed and evolved over the years. In this case your M37CDN is marked correctly for a Black Watch vehicle in Germany circa 1960 and as a bonus you will not require any plates.

Wayne: Note the tables and racks in Ed's above photo are the line laying stuff we were looking at in the surplus yard last week.

Yes, I was thinking about that stuff when I saw the photo. Ill put it on my Christmas wish list.

Hey Wayne, I don’t have much to add except to say your truck is really coming along! The hand painted markings look great I think, and it fits with the character of these trucks.
Cheers

Thanks Rob. That bit of color on these trucks does give a more complete look to things.
Other than a bit more green left to go on the doors and many nuts & bolts, I’m pretty much done with all the painting. Looking forward to bolting things back together.

The engine is back in the frame and next will be the transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, rear wiring harness and the radiator. Just when I thought I was going to be done with painting, I had a bit of a paint malfunction on my doors yesterday, so they need to be sanded down and redone...

A bit more progress tonight...
