Another M37
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2021 7:24 pm
Just returned home to Jacksonville, FL from collecting another M37. This one is a 1953 M37 with PTO winch from Daytona Beach.
It was brought down to Florida from New Jersey by “Bob”. It’s pretty nice and came with literally a ton of parts, mostly NOS and some used. Bob was in the process of converting it back to bone stock. Somewhere along the line it was converted to 12 volt ignition, everything else is 24 volts. A 24 volt distributor came with the kit so I have to decide whether to use it or not. Also included was a driver’s side heater (I think), a military tow bar kit, lots of brake and engine maintenance parts, new brake lines, troop seats, top bows and four new never-mounted NDT tires. The truck will need some elbow grease, wire wheeling and paint.
In one of the boxes I came across a new set of Gama Goat tail lights which I thought they were pretty nice.
The motor seems to run fine so I might have gotten lucky there.
Sorry the photos are not very good. That is Bob in one of the images in case anyone knows him from New Jersey meet-ups. A great guy and super knowledgeable about these trucks.
Cheers,
Jerry
