1954 Dodge M37 3,300 miles. I have to repaint interior as truck was a orange color (county truck). /// Had mine delivered last weekend! I love it. Everything works....needs a few things but what fun to drive. I took it out today....Great day for a drive. Wisconsin
- Needs Top...but at least something to work with!

Welcome to the site, I see you mentioned WI. What part of WI are you in?
Nice looking truck to start with.

That is a very nice truck, Kilroy! It looks like the county kept it away from "Bubba".
You are very close (comparatively) to two excellent suppliers, Midwest Military and New Life Canvas. If you are looking for a top, try Mona at New Life Canvas. She does superb work and they are the best fitting tops you'll find.
Good Luck with your truck!

Thanks! The truck tires are "Super Swamper" TSL Bogger 38.5x11.00 16 lt on split rim beadlocks. They were on it when I purchased the vehicle. I live near Marshfield Wisconsin and I will be checking out New Life Canvas. Took it to town today...probably sucked up 20 gallons
I will be picking up the kids today from school!! Can't wait. They have been wanting a ride in it. Love this forum. Lots of info here....the build forum is where I spend most of my time. Thanks again for the welcome. Look forward to being here!

Make sure to never trust your gas gauge. Know how many miles you have left with a little safety factor or a spare 5 gallon can with you.

My new plates
I just changed the pinion seal this weekend. It went good...I suggest using the seal removal tool by craftsman. Took about 5 minutes to remove old seal. Now to get fluids back in it. So far no major issues with my purchase. I am lovin my M37!
