M37 project photos (Joe's truck)
It was asked if I still had the photo albums of the work that Bill W and I and many others did on Joe's truck before he passed away. If I remember correct (old age thing) we did all the work in about a weeks time. Here are the links to the photos.

Re: M37 project photos (Joe's truck)
Looks good! You guys did a lot of work in short order.
I'm wondering though who's Joe?

Re: M37 project photos (Joe's truck)
Joe passed away a while back, his dying wish was to have his truck finished for his funeral, Joe didn't finish it, wasn't close either, somehow his family contacted Big Electric, The two Bill's stepped up, the board chipped in lots (or some) dough, (some dealer's gave/donated parts I think?)A couple of other Southern Boys donated trailer rides for the truck & it all happened real quick. The family came back with some tasteful pics of Joe's last ride as I recall.

Re: M37 project photos (Joe's truck)
hello there. I know that my post here is too late and I do apologize for that. I'm looking for a pickup and truck loader project and fortunately I saw this thread. As I take a look on the photos, I can say that it is really a great truck project. I'm planning to refurnish my truck next week. And also, condolence to Joe, this will serve as his masterpiece.

Re: M37 project photos (Joe's truck)
It's projects such as Joes that always remind me that the folks on here are truly caring and giving types, it's easy in life to just say that somebody else will do that or oh - I don't know them or I just don't care. I have personally been helped by many on here with either top advice, hard to get parts I just can't get here or just a bit of moral support when needed, as I have said before, I am proud to count you all as my friends.....

It sort of reminded me of Monster Garage.

I'd like to see our crew on Monster garage, Say, the 2 Bills, Carter, Bryan, Bruce and Charles plus a few others. I think if we gave them an M37 and the project was to rat-rod it then it's be an awesome result
