Regretabally, I have to get rid of my baby

Due to personal reasons, I have to sell my 51 M37. The best way to describe it is that it's pretty close to mint. 24 volt, winch, 230 flathead with Offenhauser cam, stearite valves, balanced, blueprinted. Theres nothing more you can do to this other than keep it clean and tuned up. A lot of extras.... electronic ignition from Charles Talbert, Bryan Sages 9.00x20 NDT tires and wheels, hardened axles from Bob Stahl, extra lights, Datcon backlight gages, parallel electric fuel pump, deuce and a half alternator, plus more..... To take a look at the pictures, check out:

If you know of anybody who is interested, let me know..... Thanks guys, the years on this forum sharing ideas has been great...

excellent truck! I wish I was in a position to buy it!
One quick question about the wheels: are the M35 wheels a direct swap or were modifications required? Thanks and good luck!

There was a guy who used to be on here, Bryan Sage out of Colorado. He had a machine shop and machined the deuce wheels for the M37 bolt pattern. I got the wheels and tires from him.

Pete just heard about you selling your baby so I came over to offer my shoulder, I know how you feel buddy but ya gotta do what needs to be done besides it'll always be your truck no matter who owns it.
Best regards

I passed the info on your rig to a buddy who lives in SC (retired Marine). Hopefully, the two of you can work out a deal.
That way, your rig will be closer to me and I'll be able to keep an eye on it for you...

Bill's right. Everyone will always think of it as yours...
