All,
A while back, member @Gof6 posted a "free to good home" M37. I got in touch with him to ask about it and we came to an agreement about it.
It is a 1954 M37 that his father was restoring. Before I get into the recovery, let me tell you (as Paul Harvey would say)........ the rest of the...
Painting is the easiest part of it. Trust me! As far as parts go, there are a LOT of vendors and people with parts available for pretty much whatever you need!
The trucks are definitely out there and in just about any shape. It really depends on your budget and how far you're willing to travel.
I saw this truck in Seguin, TX the other day for 4k.

As far as this site and the members, they have truly been a blessing, whether it is advice...
All- I know I seem unusually attached to my 5 ton, but here's why....
In 2007, I bought my M35. It was a '69 A2 and my introduction to "big" MVs and this site. In '14, at the urging of my ex, I sold it and immediately regretted it.
Fast forward to 2016, and im just not feeling right. I go to...
OK, ECU is disconnected and I've had valve cores in since I bought the truck.
Removing the valves etc won't throw the wheel off balance? I'll need to remove the counter weight also, correct?
