No rust at all.
Very nice truck with original paint and markings. (I think)
I don’t know why anyone would start with a project when they can save time and money and buy one that runs and drives like this one. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive this anywhere. ( I do) It just made a 250 mile trip loaded with tools pulling a loaded M101 trailer. Got 10 mpg and used no oil running 55 mph. (checked with GPS) It’s the strongest running M37 I have been around. I hate to sell it but the family has expanded to 4 and this great truck needs to go to someone that will enjoy it as much as my family has. It’s an honest truck with no issues, and there’s not too many of them you can drive without worries.
This M37 is a great example and will be missed.
No mechanical issues. Ready to drive home anywhere.
