December M-37 Recovery

[colbanister]

I don't believe the market is down that much and most of us that are restoring M-37's are not planning on selling them in the end.

Colbanister,
I stand corrected. Just looked on the Power Wagon Page site on trucks sold and many sold for Between 6500 and 11000.

Anyone looking for a M37 in good to great shape should be prepared to pay a good chunk of change. For whatever reason, people seem to be buying up or holding onto the best trucks. I don't see many for sale these days....

I sold mine for $15,000 back in 2002...which is about what I had into it ( not including labor )

We just got back, it went well. We tow bared it with my deuce and it pulled great. It looks good, alittle rust but a nice running M-37.

Very nice M-37. Minor rust on the left front fender, Right one is MINT, cab corners, one is SWEET and the other is just starting to bubble. even has a MINTY tail gate!!! Still 24 volt and started right up and runs. Its stuck in 2nd gear but it moves.

Love the avitar BTW!!!!! HEHEHE

Will post my pics after dinner.

Good tailgate and front fenders, two of the hardest items $$ to come by, nice score

Made some progress on the truck tonight. It's 13 degrees outside and dark, but we removed all the racks and the tank from the back. There was a lot of steel back there. I also removed the passenger west coast mirror as the glass is broken, and the soft top frame. Here's some more pictures.

I like those mirrors

Tried sending you a e mail today. Now that all that stuff is off, pull the transmission pan and see if its the early or late.

 

[vtdeucedriver]

You know, you can red fender your Avitar pic and you can fold down your windshield on your M-37 but your still not cool until you can do both I will teach you.

I will be looking at the transmission next, as well as cleaning all of the vintage trash from under the seat and in the bed. I didn't get an email Jeff.

 

[vtdeucedriver]

hahahah, its yellow now!!!!! Personally I liked the red fendered one!

What exactly do you look for to determine an early or late trans? Is one more desireable than the other? Im new to the M37 so sorry for the noobish question!

Parts for the late style seem to be more readily available.
