We had insulation in the cabs of M37s?
From what I recall, it was all sheet metal...floor, sides, roof. No in-cab heater at all. Brrrrr.

We had female drivers in the militia. Never noticed the cold when they were driving...

M37 heater, do you want hot water or gas fired? Brian Asbury might still have NOS. the in cab defroster is what the big hole is for, also it is built like a tank

As Rob Clarke noted above, some distractions did raise the cabin heat level!!
However, I never came across an M37 Cargo with a heater. Mind you, we were Militia then and all kit were issued MFU (Minimum for use). Austerity was the watchword. Trudeau, you know. In our Signals M152s though, we had the advantage of heat being forced into the cabin from the operator's compartment via the Southwind gas fired heater.

The m37 canadian hard top "Arctic Kit" was used by Western Command, North West Highway system. (NWHS). Besides the fender mounted heater, it had grill cover and hood blanket. I did not drive one on the Alcan highway but hope to have both my F15a gs and the f15a WT if the 2012 alaska run goes and if 2012 is not the end of the world

What Tom is referring to is the 1/2 foam that the Winterized M37 had inside the cab roof...... sure made the cab a lot quieter and cooler in the Summer.
The Foam had a semi smooth external surface and was glued.... heavily glued onto the sheet metal..... do not remember seeing it applied to the back lower portion of the cab... just the roof area. One of the surplus M 37 I drove in the late 70s when I belonged to the Outaouais 4x4 club had such an arrangement. Have no clue what would be available now in the marketplace.... BooB

Depending on the year the m37 was made as the early ones (51-53) had the metal cover with the pink insulation between the metal cover and the roof and the later ones 54ish had the black foam insulation. As Bob stated it is around the 1/2 inch in thickness and was also used the the M135 cabs as well.
