I have finally decided to put up my 52' M37 and it's matching trailer M101 for sale. The truck has had the body taken off and the frame completely sandblasted and primed and painted. The truck has new gas lines , brake lines, flex hoses, wheel cylinders , master cylinder and shoes. The wheel bearings and seals are all new. The front axle has new seals and bushings as well as new roller bearings top and bottom in the knuckle. The front has locking hubs by Superwinch. The engine is the 251 CDN and is completely rebuilt. It now has 4700 miles on it and it runs great. Vacuum is 20 inches ,oil pressure is 50 psi. The truck is 24 volts and has a NOS wiring harness front and back. The steering has new tie rods and the steering box is rebuilt with new seals and bushings. The cab was sandblasted inside and out and is primed and painted in semi gloss olive drab. The bed has been taken apart and sandblasted and primed and painted as well. The truck runs super swamper boggers 38.5 X 11 X 16 tires. The truck has a new canvas top from the original maker John Johnson company. The truck has the canadian transmission ( ACME) and comes with a spare tranny. The tranny has been tore down and inspected. New oil seal installed and syncros are in great shape. The transfer case has had all new oil seals and speedi sleeves installed and has no leaks. Bearings were inspected and all were in great shape.The truck originally had 23,768 miles on it when I got it 6 years ago. The gas tank has been sent out and cleaned and coated. The body and frame have no rust anywhere on them as I store it inside during rain or snow. The truck has a battery cutoff switch and runs aircraft ignition wires. The ignition and charging systems are stock but is has an electronic voltage regulator on it instead of the stock coil unit. The wiring is all correct using the wire numbers and switches and gauges. I have pictures to prove the complete teardown and rebuilding from the frame up. The trailer comes with it as well and is a 53 M101 3/4 ton version. The canadian trailers had a winching jack up front, a spare tire carrier, a map pocket and an anti tip drop down leg at the rear to prevent tipping when loading or unloading. The bed has been taken off and sandblasted and primed and painted. The frame has had the same. The parking brakes work great and the wheel bearings and seals are all new as well. All this work has taken about 2.5 years to do ( 3 years ago) but now I have picked up a 56 C3 power wagon and i'm in the process of tearing this down and rebuilding it. The misses says we can't start our own car lot so the m37 and trailer must go ... I'm asking $ 10,000 or best offer. I can send pictures if requested .... Terry
