Continued priming and painting... storing the finished pieces in my basement (wife is not happy).

I don't know what was used as a seam sealer on these trucks originally, but there was nothing left on the outside of the cab. On some of the seams inside the cab there was a hard material that I can break off in pieces. Looks like it was originally installed by hand (like putty).
I used seam sealer on every seam on my M38A1, and will do the same on this truck to keep the water from getting between the layers of metal.

That seam sealer stuff is a great choice to upgrade the old iron before painting! That will definitely help in keeping the water out.

If anyone is looking to replace the end plugs for the top rails of the M37 cargo box, I found some standard plugs at Home Depot that fit rather nicely. I tacked them in with small welds just to keep them from popping out. Sandpaper or sandblasting will remove the shiny coating so paint will stick.
My cargo box sides are almost ready for primer.
