Hello Doug.

Not sure if Shilo has a 3.7 or not. I do know a set of towing axles for one showed up at a local surplus dealer's yard about 40 years ago and I was told they came from the Shilo Museum when a Base 'Higher-Up' of the time ordered a cleanup of "junk" sitting about in several buildings on the base. The dealer acquired the axels, a 17-pounder with cut up barrel, a 6-pounder with cut up barrel and a German quad 20-mm Trailer AA-gun that was complete. Three of the guns were totally missing but the fourth receiver assy was still alive and well, missing just the barrel.

The axles were eventually sold, so my guess is if Shilo still has the 3.7, it hasn't moved very far over the years.
