This is the M37 when it came from the Morehead City [North Carolina] Fire Department in 1987. It wasn’t until it was back at our farm in Georgia when I discovered the early serial number.

This Mule has a ‘Kick’

(ABOVE) Harold Wohlfert converted the M37 into the local fire department’s “Brush Buggy” in his pole barn back in the early 1970s. He had not seen the truck in more than 30 years when I caught up with him at a local show. He had several stories to share about the build. He was happy to see it all fixed up and back on the road again.

Restoring a WWII Canadian Dodge D15 of the Royal Army Service Corps

When operating historic military vehicles, you may not always have the luxury of doing repairs in a well-appointed shop. Sometimes, you have to be prepared to do “in-the-field” repairs as was the case with an M37 that needed a brake job during the MVPA’s Route 66 Convoy.

In-the-Field Brake Job

Our brand new Dodge! It had been painted orange by a volunteer fire department. My wife and I had planned to paint it olive drab, replace the canvas, and enjoy driving it. We didn’t get to that last part until about five years later.

Tales from the Field

The trailer sat for several years until Stephen decided the best home for it might be with the Air Defense Museum at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. A buddy showed up to help Stephen load the M10 on a trailer. The friend’s father tagged along — he had been a “cannon cocker” back in the 1950s and was very familiar with the M10.
