Geez,
I just read this and I'm droolling over the M37 front fenders.... Straight ones are getting harder to find, and if it's got a good gas tank I'd want it as well... Got a buddy who is looking at a truck that has no bed.... If it's got a tailgate or any of the troopseat hardware...
Heck, I'd even take the wheels off the thing just to have a "spare" set for my "other" tires so that I could save the Michelins when on long road trips...
Cabell,
How bad do you want those things? I will try to help if I can. There were still 8-10? M37s there on Saturday (more of them than anything else) , but it looks like they are next in line for the ride on a" flat bed hearse "
To be honest with you, my m37 knowledge is weak. I'll do my best to describe what I saw. IMHO most of the sheet metal (fenders, tailgates, gas tanks) is rough. Maybe to others, it would be considered “restorable”. Wheels would probably be one of the easiest things to get, but you would have to take the tires also. I thought I saw some troop seat “residue” in one of the beds, . . .but I’m not sure it was correct for the M37 – the side racks and seats were integrated into one unit like a deuce. I thought the M37 seats were separate from the side racks?
If you were to decide to get any of the large items, you would have to make all the arrangements for shipping. I’m pretty that the scrap guy is not interested in shipping. He just wants to get the stuff gone, now.
If you want discuss with the scrapman directly, PM me your phone number, and I’ll have him you call him. I’d be glad to take more pictures if you need a closer look.
I’m afraid time is short, so let me know right away.
