I picked up an M43 in a trade and its cool and all but I have an M37 and its more my speed so Im wondering what a fair sale or trade value would be for it?
The guy I got it from added the mirrors and volvo seats and tossed the originals...... There is rust on the box corners and some under the rear box angles where the steps would be but overall looks pretty solid.
It runs well around the yard, tranny is way tighter than my 37, exhaust manifold is cracked, still 24v but the wiring in the engine bay is flaking so id guess it needs a harness to be done right, passenger door is caved in on the bottom.
Thanks for any help.

Good luck on the trade on that one.....................since your "Buddy" has just dragged a equal from Marthas Vinyard, I would think you both would get em going and drive them both up to Vermont for the GMMVC show in july and camp :D
