    My first power wagon

    Ok thanks for the info Bruce! I'll check out midwest military and see what they have as far as lights go. I did contact them and ABlinn about a bed. neither of them have any bed parts available right now. Found a bed online in New Orleans but i can't get a hold of the guy. So i guess thats out.

    My first power wagon

    My top was not well made at all. It looks like a 2 year old with a hammer and some sheet metal and bondo made it. They "molded" it all in with about 3 inches of bondo. and screw the back window in with drywall screws and the window isn't even straight! Its bad bad bad. But i'm gonna leave my...

    Opinions please. So i'm buying this other m37. A lot better shape, its a winch truck as well. Its a better foundation to start from than the other one i already bought. So my question is. And i know its horrible to even say, but should i part out the one i bought? Or try and sell it whole. I see...

    My first power wagon

    i have it on uship right now. All the bids have been close to $1,000. I got a quote from a company called new way auto transport. They were $795. Which is still a lot, but it has me worried why they are so much cheaper. I read some reviews and a lot of people were happy with them and some...

    My first power wagon

    Thanks guys. Yes ed there is a winch behind the bumper. The cable is frayed, and does not look very safe. It will most likely need a new cable. I did find me another m37. Its in west virginia. It is a very nice truck, just needs to be put back together. It is a lot more solid than the one i just...

    My first power wagon

    Well the truck rolled when I put it in neutral to pull out of the woods. So that was a good sign the brakes weren't locked up. I was thinking the same thing about the marvels mystery oil. It woks wonders! But I did find a complete truck today with all of the parts I need. So I'm trying to find...

    My first power wagon

    Thanks again for the help guys. Y'all have been so nice and helpful! Very glad I found the site. I've had an old car problem for a while. I have a 65 cadillac that I did pretty much a nut and bolt restoration on. And now I'm done with it. So I was ready for another project. I've always loved...

    My first power wagon

    Thanks again guys. I look forward to the project, and getting it back original for my grandfather. It will be a lot of work i know. It appears fairly simple compared to the cars i have restored. I have done frame off restorations on cars and they were an incredible task. I know the m37 wont be...

    My first power wagon

    I did see the replacement bottom. The bad part is the sides are bad as well. There's prob not even enough left of the sides to make a good weld with a new bottom. The back where the tailgate bar is, is pretty bad off to. I'm a pretty good ways away from needing another bed. So I can just be...

    My first power wagon

    Yes i am going to be extremely careful. I'll take my time with it. And you are right they did weld it to the roof bow. And i guess the window frames as well. I wasn't sure how they worked. Thanks for the help.

    My first power wagon

    thanks guys i appreciate the help. Any help is good help at this point. I'm not sure if the motor is free. Haven't really had time to check it yet. I paid 500 bucks for the truck. So i wasn't to worried about the motor. The bed is my biggest concern. I dont know if i'll ever run across an entire...

    My first power wagon

    Hey guys. I'm brand new to this site. And to the power wagons. Been wanting one for a while. And my grandpaw ran across this one at a friend of his house. He was going to send it to scrap metal but i couldnt let that happen. I picked it up for cheap but. Its pretty rough. The bed is completely...
