Who's Got the Most M37's ??
Hi Guys,
There's a big farm just down the block from me that has two huge equipment auctions every year. I don't go because I'll just bring home more stuff that I don't need. But I was talking to a buddy at work who usually goes and he mentioned that there's usually a few of "those Army trucks you like" at the auction and they only go for a few hundred bucks each. So I got thinking......that's just what I need......a slew of parts trucks in my driveway to really give the neighborhood some "pizzaz". But then I thought......having 4 M37's would be kinda cool.......but there's probably guys on the forum who have twice that amount or more.
Hence my question............so who's got the most M37's decorating their landscape? Parts trucks count too. C'mon....fess up.....it's a passion....no shame in that! So I'll start.......I got 2. Your turn.
regards,
bob

Only two: the 53 Air Force and 53 USMC. I think that I'll be lucky if I get the AF truck done.

I've got two as well, but my parts truck should really only count for about a half.

Technically speaking I've only got 1 M37, but an M152 also has residence in the yard...

I have my one only-hope to have a WWII era vehicle next, once I consider my M37 "finished".

I have 4 running M-37. 2 good trucks and 2 yard beaters. I have parted out at least 6 more over the years for spare parts. Time to down size.
