During the winter I bought this truck from my friend, Ralph. It was disassembled when I got it, the cab and the bed were off of the frame which had been cleaned and painted. Ralph had planned to do a complete restoration on the truck but ended up buying another running and restored one. We are putting this one back together so that we can move it to my garage where I intend to rebuild it and put it back on the road. So far the engine, radiator, transfer and transmission have been replaced along with the sheetmetal you see in this shot and yesterday we bolted the hard top back on it, installed the running boards and got some tires and the winch kit out of his barn. Once we tow it to my place I will remount the winch after I have gone through it and checked it out. I've started a Webshots album and will continue to add photos as work progresses.

You sir have the fever, M-Thrax Fever!
Congrats,

Yes I have Bruce, I got the fever when I was 13 yrs. old and saw my first M37 churning through 2 1/2 ' of a late March snow while nothing else was able to move at all. This is the 8th. one I have owned, with luck and if I live long enough, 9 and 10 are just over the horizon. :-D
