Looks like its solid...good parts. But the engine will need a lot of work from the pictures, I'd say offer him $1000. I payed $1200 for mine which is a '52 with a hardtop, non-winch like this, EXCELLENT body, but bad head gasket, no brakes, still runs.

Lou, apologizes- it took me almost a month to get the pictures up! Well...here they are. This is our M817 W/w, I took a couple of how the bumper mounts, where the drive shaft goes, and one of the PTO on the side of the tranny...hope these help at least a little bit...

Yup, this means that at one point your M-37 had the M-42 command truck kit installed in it...I've heard that many were taken out as they used the trucks for other things or swapped around their jobs. The only W300's Ive heard referenced to are civilian dodge power wagons...hope this helps!

Excellent, what he said! 8)

Gents: This is the 100v rectifier that was added to the M-37 to turn it into an M-42....powered more radios like some have said. My truck had it installed but not hooked up, we also have a truck at work that has it still installed! An easy way to tell if your truck was an M-42 is by looking...

Two recent pictures of my '52 M-42 And one of what it looked like the day I got it home!

Yup thats correct! No worries about what the tag says...those trucks are so long off the books, and due to the agency not existing anymore as you say that it isn't a big deal

You didn't necessarily make a mistake here! Before the federal excess property program for fire departments/USFS; the distribution of surplus government property was administered by the Civil Defense. Vehicles were given to fire departments, police departments, and local civil defense...

Mike, looks great so far! Glad the parts worked out for ya

Yup, set of levers to the left of the drivers seat for the dump body, and another PTO control next to the transfer case for the winch control. Thats how ours is set up anyhow That is a BIG winch :driver: I could get your some basic photos tomorrow if you cannot get any before then

Got another couple pics for you guys today...

So I got together 4 friends last night, and was easily able to lift the bed off and put it on blocks for now...heres a couple pics of the truck as it is now; minus the front bumper (traded to another member on SS) before I put on the winch mount bumper, and minus the bed. As you can see, the...

On a related note...THIS truck was just taken OOS in a tiny town in my fire district, and returned to us (state forestry). It is a ex-army pumper...cool to compare to the other 68 internationals on here! Not sure where this vehicle served in the military.

The last 2 weeks I've been working on cutting bolts/taking off parts...I traded another member on here my non-winch bumper for some parts he didn't need, I'm happy I get to be a part of his restoration! I also finally got all the bolts holding the bed on cut and/or unbolted. Tomorrow's project...

GENTLEMEN: The mysterious junkyard in the Bolton area has been found; Power Wagons Parts That is the guys website, he is based in Berlin, Mass a few miles down the road, a small town off of 495 next to Clinton. I plan on making a trip out to him for a new radiator at some point soon, seems...
