Hi Guys,

You too can own this perfect example of the M37 for the low low price of $15000!

I think that price includes the boulder and the horse trailer in the back.

Something odd about the tires, like the outside diameter is too small. Different rims on the Budd centers, maybe?

The tires are not NDTs.....they're civies. You can see that in one of the other pics on eBay showing the front of the vehicle.

regards,

they look like 245/75/16's or so, definitely right rims but those size tires are going to make the top speed like 35.....

The tires are marked 7.50-16 and the wheels have the narrow beads (look at the split rings) of the 5.5 inch, 1/2 ton wheels.

Civilian Power Wagon rims?

I would hope that the property that the truck is parked on, is included at that price.

My error. I usually put on my steel pot when I go to one of the military Dodge web sites. It helps me remember that we are discussing all the fine Dodge military trucks that served to preserve the American way of lie. I still had my "pot" on when I posted. And I was looking at a photo of a military truck.

The 1/2 ton I referred to was the miliary Dodge WC. I have bought several M37's which came with the 1/2 ton truck rims. I am aware they are not correct and I found out how difficult it can be to swap out those wrong wheels.

I need to loosen my steel pot and be sure I make it clear that I'm thinking "military" when I'm on a military web site. To be accurate, the only 1/2 ton Power Wagon was the W100 starting with the 1957 Power Giant. Standard for the W100 were 7 x 17.5 six ply tubeless tires with eight ply tires optional.
