1953. I'll post my pics in here and as I work on it.

Looking good! From what I can see so far, it is pretty much unmolested. That puts you miles ahead on doing an original truck. Even the instruments are correct originals. The remannants of the side spare carrier are there. Did you get the rest with the truck?

I did not get the swing out spare carrier with it. I have seen them available, but people say it's awfully inconvenient!

 

[mdainsd]

They are.

Nice rig! Welcome from Mid TN. I bet it drives better with the modern tires!

Thanks guys! Here are the ID plates on the glove box. Comments welcomed.

My truck was stuck in 4WD, with the rear shift lever unable to move forward:



I got advice from the Facebook group, jacked up one front wheel and it came unstuck immediately. Driveable now!

"Frank" always rides in my current project. He seems very much at home in the M37.

Skinny people usually find these old trucks more comfortable than thick folks.

I drove it around the block a couple of times (not registered yet). OOH THAT WAS FUN. LOVE IT.
