Not mine.
There's a decent M37 at Post Exchange in Damascus, Oregon (SE of Portland) for sale for $4000.
Solid body w/o damage.
Only surface rust.
Painted white.
Said to run and stop.
Has cargo racks, wood OK, no troop seats.
Tailgate good, no pioneer rack.
Bumper off, but included.
Converted to 12v.
Carb not original.
Has turn signals added.
Has hardware for canvas top.
Canvas top is incorrect, possibly off an M211.
Windows look decent.
Has NDT tires, but I forgot to inspect them closely.
Evidence of blown seals around backing plates and knuckles on front axle. Needs new seals. Was not able to crawlunder to check the rears.
If this truck runs and stops as they say it does, and does not blow smoke, then it is worth it. There are some pieces missing, but the truck has not been hacked up, so it could be restored reasonably easy. It is a bit too much for a V-8 conversion, even if you sell the engine. You do not have to replace any sheetmetal on this truck, so that's a major plus.
I don't think this truck is going to last long. It's at a high profile army surplus supplier.
