I need your help for a project.
I would like to see if there is a correlation between the hood numbers and the serial numbers of M37's.
What I need is to have M37 serial numbers and hood numbers emailed to me. Also need to know if they are absolutely known to be original, or if that is unknown.
I am compiling a serial number list of different changes, dates, etc., into one chart. I'd like to add to hood numbers to it. Then, if someone wanted to figure out if their M37 was in orignal condition for features, or figure out what a likely hood number would be, this chart would tell them. It would be helpful to get all the info off the data plate for contract number, delivery date, etc., as well, if you have the plate. It need not match your truck - data is data and it will suffice.
The real serial number is located on the left frame side immediately behind the steering lever (on the frame above the front of the front left spring, if that makes it more clear).
I will not release anyone's name, and I will purge the email and only keep the s/n and hood number, etc. It may be tempting to post here anon if you feel there is a security issue, but I thought emailing would save space on this site.
