Another M37 Recovery

With a borrowed truck and borrowed trailer and massive preparation and a 450 mile round trip with no incidents. I know, I know, just another M37 that has seen better days but ahh, all the parts are there and there is potential. The seller was generous with an abundance of spare parts and... a clear title! I have not yet determined to resto or part the poor thing and me the hopeless romantic, wants to save her, ( late 1951) ...the worse are the doors and the best are the troop seats and canvas. Princess out a sow's ear???? maybe.... Thankful for a safe trip and another one safe from the scrapper for now....and the best she is mine now...I shall be welding and grinding in my sleep...

Did the Gnome assist in recovery?

I was the po 4 people back! have fun with it!

No gnome ...man ..I know I forgot something.....

Ted..I see a M37 1951 in your list...hmmmmm..I'll have to dust it for prints..hopefully the buck (buyer/seller) stops here.

The M37 thanks you, good save

Getting harder to find in any restorable condition, what you have looks like a keeper to me. I started with one in similar condition but you are already ahead of where I was since you have a title. I had no paper at all, just a truck and I even had to put a front axle under it before I could move it. Carter

looks like fun nice save

nice save man. Alert me of any in the SE with a good bed!

Maxim, you do like a challenge don't you! If you need parts, I know Pierre Jalving in Holland has a few depending on what you need. I have to head down there on Monday to pick up some parts for my deuce. Otherwise look north and bug Lane. He has a stash of 37 parts that I got some pieces from for my M37 I just finished.

Tell PJ hi and tell him what I have gone and done...I may need his magic wand..He is getting pretty sticky with his M-37 parts and has a Ambulance settin there for his next project. I talked to Lane and he showed me what he has. I may stop by you some day on the way to the Tulip Patch and look at yours for inspiration.

I'd save it, don't part it out. The sheet metal on the cab and bed looks very nice. I've seen worse come back from the dead.

Stop in, I'm always around. Here is a recent pic to help you get some inspiration!

How much $$$ if you don’t mind my asking

About .10 a pound...

Rod,

You can stop by my place next time you're up at Lane's. I've got some stuff and a couple parts trucks left. The one is a pretty decent box.
