Perfectly restored M37 for sale again

[spainex]

For those of you that must have a perfect specimen, I spotted Bill W's old truck on ebay again.That truck is just beautiful. I think it safe to assume that someone will need some mighty deep pockets for that one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... =p3907.m29

Damn
She looks as good as the day I sold her....sniff!

[Lifer]

You shouldn't have sold it, Bill! Or else you should have sold it to me. It would have stayed with me until the day I croak! Unfortunately, I was skint when it became available. The one I ended up with will probably never look that good, but I'm gonna enjoy it anyway..Besides, if it ain't pretty to start with, I won't have to work so hard to keep it looking pretty,

[Mac]

wow, thats a nice M37

[greencom]

It is a looker but it ain't a Jeep!

Vey fine looking M37, however to me its too nice.......I would be afraid to drive it for fear of it getting dinged or scratched thus ruining its good looks. I could never own one that pretty because I like to use what I buy. Just like a rifle, or shotgun I own, I always buy the middle of the road items so if it gets dinged along the way I don't worry as much about it. Not trying to take away from what the truck is, its just too nice for me.....

Hey, Bill can I ask how you did your hardware in gold? Is it just paint or did you have them anodized somehow? Dipped?

[M-Thrax]

Thats yellow cadmium plating, early 37 bolts were plated with either white ( silver) or yellow ( gold) as were the douglas connectors. The company I used only charged a $1.00lb ( 50lbs min) to plate them BUT I had to strip the *%#!! paint off them first.

Hey Nickathome, I know what you mean by looking too good. Love to drive my trucks, and they do get used. Reminds me of the AR15 I bought, not a damn scratch on it. It's too perfect and I'm afraid to fire it and it just Sits in the case !

I gave the guy on Ebay a serving,,,, one for not knowing what he is selling and two for calling it a jeep.

That kind of behavoir shits me.

Oh yeah, me too. I bought an AR15 back when they didn't require a mortgage, and mine is also cherry, and looks as nice as the day I bought it. It gets fired but not all that much. Not so because I am afraid to but its a pain in the arse to clean.....

[peter e mark]

I'd rather clean my winch cable

[Lifer]

AR15...M16...same difference as far as I'm concerned. I never found them all that difficult to clean and having used them for over 20 years, I've cleaned a lot of 'em. I was on the base rifle team for 3 years and was my squadron armorer for 4 years during my last overseas assignment. I haven't touched one in 15 years, but I'd venture to guess that I can still strip one down and put it back together while blindfolded.

Well Lifer, A bit off topic, but while I only spent two years in, I consisder these two years a highlight. It all stays with me in my military vehicle , firearm colleding and reenaqcting.
