$1300
Every theing looks OK, wheel bearings good and well greased

needs some deck work but I'll get to that and have to do something about the lack of visibility of those ramps on a dark night, all black against a black night, good way to get rearended

But, tags before starting on all that.

I second Warren's question because I'll be looking for one stout enough for my M, too.

Warren & Gary; yes the M37 will fit, trailer deck length is 17' (204") and the M is 184" 3/4" bumper/bumperettes.
Or decrease it Sal, might put the red M37 up for sale at the East Coast Rally, to many projects
Thanks Matt, I just put $1100 worth of new rubber on it last week along with new master cyl. rear brake lines, wheel cyl's and hub seals. It's becoming a dependable truck as I throw more $$$ at it.

Thanks Carter,
What about the weight limit? Will that carry the M legally?

Trailer has a 10,000 # capacity and with an M37 weighing in at 6050 # empty it should be OK but the dump truck is to light to pull that much safely.

So you'll have to buy a bigger/heavier dumptruck?
