Buy a Mack truck with a headache rack, real brakes(air) tires 10x20 mudgrips, and at least a tulsa 34 or braden 44 winch for logging. Unless you want to grease the tail hook with your brains stay away from these killer trucks, M37 has no top and you want to winch and load logs that weigh more than the truck, go to a logging truck dealer and ask pros, not the wantabe excuses for work/play trucks that masquerade here. Comon, anybody dumb enough to try to tell you anything else has never ran a winch truck, you need air brakes on the winch to keep from killing somebody. Ever try to drive with a load with a ffpw or m37 on poles, it will be the only time the steering will turn easy, no brakes are normal without a load, how will you stop it with a load? Macks, paystars, go for $5000 all day with winches, go to an auction and get a cdl! Or you can buy a forum queen and spend your time with the front end up in the air or turned over, might be a lot of fun betting where the tailhook will fly next! It is your brain, buy a mack with a guard on window and solid headache rack to keep hook away from you!
