Hi Dave,
It sounds like a beautiful truck but...............
unless you're going to stick it in a museum, the minute you drive it off road it ceases to remain in such pristine condition .
If I were to budget $15,000 for an m37 project,
I would buy 2 trucks w/winches in good condition
for $4500 to $5500 each. I would then take the balance and put it into 4.89 gearing ,tires and little details that are missing such as data plates ,canvas winch covers etc.
I think if I spent $15,000 on a single m37 I would spend more time looking at it and admiring it than actually driving, experiencing and enjoying it on the road!
In closing , I would only buy it if I was going to put it on display and if I still had another m37 to drive.
Good Luck,
