My 52 M37 project

[m37_power]

Here are a few pics of my M37. I picked it up 6 months ago along with a parts truck that is far far beyond repair body wise. Its all stock with 46000 miles on it. It also runs and drives. I am starting to tear into mine now that they weather is nicer and i have my garage cleaned out. I plan to take it offroad, nothing crazy, but have some fun on the trails and also drive it around town, parades...etc. I will post pics of my build as I go. I haven't taken any pics lately, but i will get some updated ones this weekend. I started sanding and found the OD green and the numbers on the hood. The best part is remarkably there isnt must rust at all underneath it, just surface rust on the body. I plan on sandblasting the entire truck and repainting OD green with the correct stencils on the hood...etc. Thanks again for all the help so far.

"Restoration" ( res te;ra shun; ) (1) To commit SLOW SUICIDE!!! (2)To empty ones savings account (3) To barter, i.e. Wife gets house and kids you get the truck and/or child support payments

Truck looks like a excellent candidate for a restro

When I got done with my 54, M-37 my wife would refer to it as "The other woman"

Nice Catch

It's really an aggressive infestation or even an infection, maybe an affliction? Bill has it bad, the dreaded "M-Thrax" no known cure yet, just lots of od for medicinal purposes!
