M37 for sale

[alphadeltaromeo]

Just down the road from me is an M37 that is for sale. The individual is asking $1000.00 presently. I've attached some pictures for your review (sorry for the poor quality). If you would like more pictures or any additional information, I can certainly go ask for you or I can get the phone number so that you can have the freedom to call yourself. The number in the pics isn't too clear.

Andy,
Thanks for all your help with this truck. It is good to meet others close by that have like interests. I got the truck home safely and will be returning your trailer tomorrow after my son and I get it unloaded. Once again thanks for all your help and if you ever need mine... I owe you.

Hope you have a good weekend,

Mark

The M37 you have is a Marine truck. It has the "Paper Clips on the front bumper and the lifting brackets on the back (look at your tail lights). You did good.
One of the few, Frank

what are the paperclips for?

It was a pleasure assisting. Hopefully you really enjoy the new addition to the family! Always good to meet great folk as well.

Glad the M37 went to a good home.

The paperclips, I think, are just an improv way to get additional tie-down points and tow points as well.

Frank, yes I am aware it is a Marine truck. I had been looking for the fittings to make my truck a Marine truck (since I am a Marine) and thought it would make a good beater for my 17yr old son. I hope to be able to spend time with him getting it running but will rob the bumper and rear lifting shackles for my truck.

Good to hear from you.

RE: Hey Frank!

Mark,
Great news, especially since I don't have to ship you my spare set of brackets... Also good to know that this one went to a good home (your son is going to have all his friends green with envy...).

Others:
The "paperclips" and rear lifting shackle relocation brackets are all standard on USMC M37's for use in slinging and tie down on ships... The Navy really hates it when things start to slide around...

It's alive!!

Well... I hadn't had much time to mess with this truck but my son came over today and I put a set of plugs in it and put some tranny fluid in the cylinders.... motored it over till I got good oil pressure and then lit it off... the exhaust manifold is cracked right behind the bypass tube rubber hose so that will need fixing but with a gravity feed of fuel... it runs!! Needs lot's of TLC for sure but it is good to get it running.

Thanks Andy for posting about this truck... I hope to have some good times with my son working on it.

WOOHOO! Congrats Mark...can't wait to see pics of your son driving it. You'll need to start taking pics of the process so that you can keep us all better informed with visuals *wink*.
