The M42 “just faded away”. Radio equipment became more sophisticated and required aural security zone not afforded by M42 canvas sidewalls. The spare tire was moved to the driver’s door on M37B1s so they could accommodate a “Signal Hut” if required. Apparently there were enough other mission requirements to justify this modification. Electric power for the huts on our M37B1s was supplied by a pair of trailer-mounted, 5KW generators to assure uninterrupted performance of our mission.
Yes, I have the tailgate ladder for my M37B1.
The COLD WAR IS NOT OVER!
