I found this M-37 over a year ago and finally I have paid for it and going to get it next Tuesday. It is extremely solid and all the pieces parts seem to be there.

Here are a few pictures, I will give an update after I pick it up.

Congratulations! It looks like you got a good solid truck there!

I did notice that the distributor vent tubes have been disconnected from the carburetor u-pipe. You might want to reconnect those (make sure they are not plugged first) before you run the engine/drive the truck. If you don't, you risk overheating the coil and killing it. It is expensive to replace and and a PITA to fix.

Just a suggestion.

Enjoy your new truck!

Recovery completed, fairly uneventful. Thanks to Steve Bank and my daughter Ann for all their help. Got it home and proceeded to clean out the cab. Lots of old dirt and grunge, plus one mouse. All cleaned out and no rust!
then cleaned all the nesting material out of the engine compartment, anti-freeze was good and oil looked good too.

Next comes dropping the gas tank, empty then boiled and sealed. Then,then, then........
Pictures tomorrow.

It's the "then, then, then," part that gets you into the body off, frame up restoration. Got to be very careful whenever you get to the "then, then, then," on any list.

Ask me how I know.....
