OBX Road trip! M-37 from Carova to Ocracoke, NC

[USMC4302]

Thought you guys might enjoy some pics from my recent roadtrip to the Outerbanks of North Carolina a couple of weekends ago. The truck, with its new HEI ignition, did pretty well driving NC12 from Corova to Orgeon Inlet across the bridge to Hatteras Island and then to the ferry to Ocracoke. And then all the way back to Nag's Head. Did about 15 miles on the beach. Wingman was a '51 Power Wagon. Other than a vapor lock episode (it was HOT!!) and a plugged fuel filter, the truck ran great. Did good on the sand. Lots of waves and thumbs up from all the modern beach vehicles -- we were like rock stars out there

Fun times!

The 37 looks great and it looks like a blast to be in the beach sand like that! That 51 Power Wagon is Beautiful as it gets! I saw one just like this last year around Duluth MN and it was flawless inside and out and under. After seeing that I really figured I needed one of these, that is until I saw the prices, in decent shape but some rust maybe runs, 25K the one I was looking at was probably near 45 to 50K, I can buy a whole lot of M37s for that!
