I don't believe I'll be needing it. Appreciate you remembering me though.Originally posted by Bruce View Post
General question: the layers of paint on this truck tell some story. The the earliest coat I can find seems to be blue, and a yellow on top of that. Ideas anyone?Leave a comment:

I know the guy that had the truck before me. I think he had aspirations of using it for a quail hunting truck, but that never came about. It mostly sat.Originally posted by Matthew Ziegler View Post
This is not the first time I've ventured into this truck. I restored it from a pile of nothing after I got it in 2007. That build can be found here http://www.myspace.com/1953m37
It was as decent of a job that I could do at the time. However, it ended up being a project whose goal was to keep the beast out of the grave. Now, it's going to be done right. I've been living in Virginia for the last year and a half, and am happy to be back in GA where I can work on the truck. Along the way, we have worked on it as I came back to GA for visits a few times a year. Here are a few pictures of the sporadic work:

My M37 Restoration Thread
Well, it looks like I'm finally doing it. After a year and a half of being away from the project, I'm starting back to work on it. This thread is to document my restoration as it comes along. My plan is to make the truck mechanically original while keeping the body a no frills utilitarian unit. Here's the start:
