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.

M37 heater
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.

M37 canadian
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

Half inch thick foam.....
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.

M37 Canadian
I guess I was not very clear about the foam insulation in my m37. Bob and Super Dave were able to make sense of what I was trying to get across. The insulation is black in my two M37 and it covers the inside of the cab. (the top and the back of the upper part of the cab) I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what kind of foam I need to replace it with. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Cab insulation
Home Depot has a floor underlayment that mimics the origional stuff for m37 and m135 m211 it is sold in rolls 6ft by 9ft under $50 .makes for a great insulator for all types of cabs.
