It's a contagious sickness

[jrodjared]

Seeing JStinson's post about his parts truck a few months back got me thinking what an awesome idea that was. Which lead me to Craigslist. Which of course lead me to this:


1964 M37 B2 Marine variant (I think).

Found a guy named Eric who was getting out of the MV scene. He had made some nice progress, especially with the body. He had an extra cab in great shape and had already taken apart the bed/toolbox. Everything was in great shape. The best part is it runs! We drove it on to the trailer.


There you can see the extra cab I got.


My super crazy insanity face. I had to work the throttle while Eric manned the wheel and clutch.

Lining it up with the trailer


I think Eric is in his last minutes of glory here


All loaded up

One last photo before we went. That's my girlfriend and I on the left, Eric and his wife on the right. I promised him I would bring it back when I am finished so we can take a spin.

What I didn't get pictures of was all the extra parts in the back on my M-Haul. I think I have something like four hoods now, three cabs, two engines, etc etc. I'm hoping that I can build at least one truck out of everything. Maybe I will do a Frankenstein truck in the end with all the leftover parts. Hmm, I still have that Dodge 318........

Great photos! Dodges are great fun, as you discover. It is fun following your story.

WOW, great find and story/photo's.

[JStinson]

Good work!

Looks like you did pretty good. Congratulations.

There are no known cures for this particular strain of sickness. Like all sicknesses, the bank account suffers along with the patient.

Good luck, looking forward to your adventures.

The only cure is More Power Wagon

"It's a contagious sickness"
I've been sick ever since I got my first M37 in 1971, had 6 of them and still own 2 but not these. If I'm going to be sick with something this is the one to have.

Well said Carter. When you are ready let's set up a time to catch up.
