Yeah, I have a homemade top too. It looks like a very good fabricator started it and then when it was 90% done a chimpanzee with an angle grinder got a hold of it. Its expertly welded, all the sheet metal is done perfectly with a shrinker/stretcher, english wheel etc. Then someone ground off...

Can't wait to see some pictures of your progress. I got my first M-37 back in September. After several months of cutting and grinding away, I am finally at the point of being able to put new/restored parts back on. My truck is probably in as bad a shape as yours. Glad to see I'm not the only...

Haven't posted in a while... some progress: I have been sticking to my plan and going up mostly on the weekends and working on the truck. For the greater part of the entire winter, the only tool I needed was a grinder. I cut off the heads of every bolt on the chassis, cut out a lot of scaly...

Bill W, Thank you for that information! I haven't done a full-on restoration before, but I do a lot of metal fabrication and deal with rusty broken old stuff a lot. This is rusty, broken, old and was just calling out to me. I go upstate every weekend. My strategy is going to be to take apart...

Hello everybody, I am new here. I picked up a M-37 from a truck graveyard recently. It was in service as a welding truck at an asphalt plant until about 10 years ago. Pretty fair amount of rust, but nothing that can't be fixed with a little ambition. Frame is solid, Body rust is not horrible...
