My Unfortunate Financial Demise

by Mr. Original
I've hit rock bottom, :cry: now it's time to crawl back out of the hole I dug myself in. My poor financial planning will end up somebody elses gain.
I have a rather eclectic collection of M37 Parts (In an Army transport container), Tools, Diagnostic equipment, Manuals (complete set, all but one are original mint) Bed bows (including wood and cross bow with tail gate canvas) The list is long. I can deliver up to 50 miles from ELGIN ILLINOIS. I'm looking to bail on all I have left. There is easily $2800.00 or better in this lot. I'll let it all go for $1000.00 cash. Email me for a detailed list of everything included.
Best Regards

Here's most of what I have to offer so far.
I'll try to be as accurate and as honest as possible. Though I know this as fact, whoever buys this package will not be disappointed.

(1) Spanner wrench for removing the cables on the generator and voltage regulator without damage.
(2) Specialty 1/2" drive deep well sockets for removing the nuts on the int/ext axle shaft assemblies.
(2) Spark Plug Sockets, one DOD supplied, the other a quality aftermarket HD.

This is factory made for the M37, a crank handle that goes through the front bumper, through that hole in the lower radiator and slides into the crankshaft pulley. I've only seen two of these in twenty years of collecting, so whoever gets it will have quite the conversation starter.
