Brian, You got a really nice looking M37 from our Louisiana friend. The trailer was a nice plus. I know u will enjoy it ... and we can swap stories and stuff about the M37 series as well. Yeah, Rondell's truck. Know him? Nice guy and his wife as well. Made the trip up, paid him, and drove back to ou...

Hey,
Congratulations on the sale. Did they take the trailer too? the parts truck? Hope you were able to make a great deal and come out where you can focus on those other projects you were telling me about.

The truck would have to be stored in a locked garage for collector coverage. I think his was stored outside to incur limb damage. My thought was that perhaps since he has had this happen, he might consider some type of comprehensive coverage. BEFORE we went with a collector insurance, we had State ...

Sorry ...... I emailed them the next day and they did not show a mail delivery error .... and I didn't get a note from you that they did not arrive, so I make an educated guess that you had them. Again, my apologies ... I guess I will require read receipts in the future ... see if that is a better o...

Do you not have vehicle insurance on the M37? If not, you might now want to consider this option. :idea: We have ours insured thru Grundy Collector Car Insurance which is a zero deductible on such damage. Our "normal" vehicles are with State Farm with a low deductible. Our collector vehicl...

Check ebay .. one sold in last few days for $5.00 + shipping. I've seen several for about $20.00 + shipping the last few weeks. It's not worth trying to fix it --- springs and copper connectors look like a fireworks display when opened, they shoot all over the surrounding area with various pings, di...

Tim,
Sent a PM to you. The email failed ... info in PM. Hopefully you'll check this thread and your PM folder.
Thanks

Ok Tom, Pictures are winging their way to you via cyberspace. The email for me so you'll know it's your pics is centurytel.net. Hope your restoration continues to go well ... trust your instincts ... and when you can't, ask questions as you've done. I've been in law enforcement and an instructor as ...

Tom,
Sounds like you are right on track
I do have some good pics of the "lacing process" for the ropes. Share an email address and I'll pop them to you as a help.

PS -- mine is also a '54 delivered Jan '54, build #336. Probably have a lot of common challenges.

By all means, I agree on posting some pics so we can all view what you've got in your set of trucks. And to echo the comment about running, it is a very often used phrase ... but pics can answer a lot of questions other than how far the trucks are from running again.

41 mpg, but has to make far more frequent stops @ convenience stores than the mileage data would indicate ha ha

I also am of the "sliderule" generation 8) . Yes, still have it and a special variation I used sr year of HS and into college ... a circular sliderule. Fit into a vinyl cover with "Physics is Phun" on the front, also fit into a shirt pocket unlike our full-size originals, and was...

Sent you an email. Give me a shout back with pics when you can. Thanks Reddman

New guy here in the forum, but not "new" by any means regarding age. All the comments on this topic are very good, especially the support for the NRA. Bottom line for the "anti-gun" politicians and supporters is that we the people are not intelligent enough to handle our own prot...
