over the weekend my buddy steve (who I have already bought 2 m37s off of ) tried selling me his m152. its not a bad truck and is very complete a little rust in the back corners, fenders and everything will need's a good going through. it would be a fun project but I already have a m37 waiting on restoration and a 52 PW after that not to mention the datsuns in between. if it still had a flathead i would be more inclined but its got this V shaped 318ci thing in it .
.............................. use it ...............
RMS, Thats too cool. I had my eye on one over here, but the boss said I had enough trucks already, so no go. Your buddies M152 isn't too bad looking. The worst areas for rust are the roof drip edges but flat panels can be done pretty easy. I'd rather a 4bt or the original 251 but thats a personal thing. They're heavy, so a V8 would help if you had to go somehwere fast. That one looks like its in prairie cam, so probably was once in Alberta. I've got a bunch of pictures of them in convoy somewhere in the wilds of the foothills, from once upon a time long forgotten...
I saw that truck when I stopped and talked to your friends a couple years ago. They will probably remember me as the Yank driving the CUCV. I was hoping to buy a deuce air horn, but no luck.
