Too small to be deuces, so they must be M37s

Looks like a gold mine, IIRC, you're in Greece? (Assuming the M37s are as well)

Yea I don't doubt it. My friend Kosta was in the service in Greece back in the day...he said they had m-37s all over the place.

All are M37s except the one in the first picture on the far left hand side. That is an M715.

DITTO THAT, THE ONE FAR LEFT AT THE FIRST PICTURE IS AN M715 5/4 TON. ALL THE REST ARE M37 3/4 TON. IT IS WHAT THEY USED TO CALL "KANATHEZA" IN THE GREEK ARMY WHEN THEY WERE STILL IN SERVICE. IF THEY HAVE THE SPARE TIRE MOUNTED ON THE DOOR THEN CHANCES ARE IT IS AN M37 B1, WHILE THE M37 EARLY PRODUCTION HAD THE SPARE IN THE BED. THEY MIGHT SEEM SMALL VEHICLES NEXT TO EACH OTHER PARKED THERE, BUT IF YOU DRIVE IT OUT IN THE GREEK STREETS, TRUST ME ALL OTHER DRIVERS STEER CLEAR AWAY FROM YOU LOL

Could that be an original spotlight on one of the trucks pictured in the background? I wonder if theyre getting sold or scrapped.

Hey, when were those pics taken????? Just asking cause I know SARAFAN went to greece and shipped a ton of M37 stuff home a few years ago. A treasure trove of stuff is still there I bet. I bought a tailgate that came from there.

When i was stationed in Greece in the very early 70's, the m37's were all over the place, as well as the venerable m715's ........our Detachments only had the IH Travelall and CJ 3/5 JEEPS .......What a beautiful country !!!!!!!good beer and food.....souvlaki,tzatziki,mousaka ...memories

This is only one yard that has military items!!!Thare are plenty of them here in Greece and all of them has a lot of M37s!!The reason that someone is hesitating to buy is because of the price of fuel and those trucks burns aLOT of fuel!!!!!!

THOSE AR VEHICLES THAT THE GREEK ARMY SELLS AT AUCTIONS. MOST OF THEM CARRY A PAPERWORK THAT ALLOWS FOR THE BUYER TO REBUILT AND USE. OTHERS ARE SOLD FOR SCRAP, AND REGARDLESS HOW GOOD THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE IS, YOU CAN NOT LEGALLY REBUILT IT AND GET PLATES FOR IT. EVEN THOUGH GAS PRICES IN GREECE ARE ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH AND PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE TOYS THEY WANT, THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO OWN M37 AND HAVE THEM. THERE IS A MAN IN THE ATHENS AREA NAMED DOUKERIS, WHO WAS A MEMBER IN THE BIG ELECTRIC SITE, HE HAS STARTED WITH AN M37 15 YEARS AGO AND HE HAS CURRENTLY TRANFORMED IT INTO A MONSTEROUS VEHICLE WITH A 350 CHEVY, A SIX SPEED TVR SERIAL TRANNY 14 BOLT REAR AND 42 INCH TIRES. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO OWNS 3 M37 IN TOP SHAPE ALL OF THEM. THREE MORE OTHERS THAT OWN ONE EACH, AND A FRIEND IN PREVEZA WHO HAS AN M43 STOCK. AND AN M37 IN WHICH HE INSTALLED A 4CYL MERCEDES BENZ DIESEL. THE MILAGE ECONOMY ON THAT THING IS PHENOMENAL!!!. IT IS NOT AS MUCH THE FUEL CONCERN THAT PEOPLE IN GREECE CONSIDER FOR NOT GETTING AN M37. IT IS THEIR BELIEF THAT PARTS WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, AND THE FACT THAT ONCE THEY GET THE REBUILT DONE, THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE GOVERNMENTAL HYDRA, AND GO THROUGH THE DMV PROCESS TO GET PLATES AND REGISTRATION FOR THEIR VEHICLES. AND TRUST ME, IT IS NOT A PLEASANT SITUATION TO DEAL WITH BURAUCRACY IN GREECE. THE DEALER FROM WHOM I GOT MY M 37, HAD SHIPPED SEVERAL OF THEM TO FLORIDA BACK IN THE 90'S. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO MIGHT HAVE BOUGHT THEM THOUGH.
