2000...just 2 cents, should give it to somebody who has one for parts, the effort to get it is what its worth, sorry, Randy

 

[citizensoldier]

Is there a engine and trans in it? Looks pretty bad.. I would pull all the misc brackets,axle shafts and bumper off it.. Pull the rims and tires and off to the scrapper.. She has had it.. If it has a motor I would give you $200 for it.. That is only worth scrap value.

$2000.00?!?

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Agreed! Way too much , way way too much. id give 250, let the bids start haha

 

[citizensoldier]

He could pay me 2k and I will come drag it out of his place..

 

[BigJay]

I never understood selling like this... and you see it pretty often..

"Give me $2000 or it's going in the trash can."

????

Shouldn't it be more like "It's going in the trash unless someone comes and gets it before ..."

[Greensteel37]

Wow, that is bad. And a shame is has been left to get that way.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Id actually buy it , for the 250 I offered , I have a spot for it to sit, better than the threat of tearing it up!!! Gimme money or ill tear up history(threat)

What a shame. Looks like it settled down on the frame in the firewall/cowl area. Did the roof rust away or somebodys idea of starting rust repair. If you have to leave this model outside, the roof better be tarped or this will be the result. The m43 is a rust magnet that starts in the roof seams. Hey but the grill looks straight and the motor looks to be there. Hey Lane being close to Canada it might be a Canadian model...251 parts.

i could use the headlight buckets,if you want to take them off and sell them .steve

 

[citizensoldier]

Thats why I asked if it had a motor in it Zak... There are some good parts on it and it should be saved if someone close can do it. But not for 2K... I will buy a deuce for that much money..

 

[ida34]

I thought I saw a fan through the grill. That would imply an engine at least.

 

[maddawg308]

Might be worth $600 to $700 in parts. The rust got the rest of the body bad. The mechanicals look to be in rebuildable condition at best.

 

[citizensoldier]

If he does scrap it.. Maybe send the numbers to Garbee.. So we can document what happened to that truck.. They keep a good registery of them on the G741 site..

It's so sad to see one of our fine veteran vehicles reach this point in life. Too often we also see veterans from war of the human variety at this point as well ... forgotten ... and left to the elements. Hopefully this ol' M37 war horse can at least be a donor for the survival of another of its kind.
And I agree that the # should be shared with g741.org so that the history of this old truck at least will not be lost to history.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Ill buy it , how much seriously?? You guys are right

I hear that - up at Coleman's in PA, there is a very rare M37 radio truck (no, not a standard M37 or M42, it's a MRC-* type rig) that has been sitting there so long the body is rotted through. Long gone, but some of the running gear is salvagable. Wants $700 for it. I am tempted to take some of my tax refund and pick it up just to save the parts, but its a shame the whole rig is lost from history.

Is he kidding two grand for that? I really can see why the city is after him.

 

[maddawg308]

Why doesn't he just put it on eBay and be done with it? M37s and their variants have been getting good money there. It might not get the $2K he wants, but I doubt he's going to get more elsewhere. Plus, it will be gone in about a week.
