New Project! Picked up a new project, with a friend yesterday, a 1955 Dodge M37 Military truck. It's a beast, and we're keeping it on the farm until we get some minor repairs completed, and get her roadworthy.

Okay for you wise guy!!!Doug, Isn't that the same truck you took your drivers test on?
I'll have you know that the poor old Dougster™ (actually, young Dougster™ at the time!) learned to drive and passed his drivers test in a blue '66 Chevy Nova!!!
One just like this:
It was a great car for a 16 year old kid to learn on.

The old Dodge looks pretty straight for it's age. Hope you 'll keep us informed of the progress.
The pic reminds me of many yrs ago when I would be driving to work, I'd see an old power wagon heading down the road and the owner had the rear third member removed and how funny it looked when following. Being high off the ground you would be staring right at the rear axle and everything was missing from the center. Would give you pause for a few seconds as to how the truck was being run with no center section.
Practice makes perfect: After many decade of hard work and practice, it now takes almost no effort to get tired.

hehe.so interesting!
Gunmaker, you had better tack something (like 1/4" hardware cloth or something) across that 2 X 4 "step" on that there 4 X 4 truck. That plank by itself will be some "slippery when wet" and might give somebody a real surprise. But wow! is that a nice "platform" to start a restoration from. It takes me back to my youth years too. There was a power line utility construction company in the same county I grew up in that had about a dozen "early '60s" Dodge Power Wagons in several configurations (Pick UP, Crew Cab Pick UP, and enclosed panel van bodies) for sale. They were all lined up in a fenced compound at the company's headquarters. All us guys would stop and lust for them, but none of us could even come up with a "down payment", let alone the rest of the price they wanted. I recall they each featured a transmission PTO powered winch up front.
That's a nice old Military truck!.. It looks like a beast.
I'd like to have something like that for hauling firewood.
Keep us posted with the work you do to it.
Thanks for the picture!
Good advice, we'll address that!

She is quite the beast, and 'the beast' is so far the favorite nickname of all who've stopped to look her over!That's a nice old Military truck!.. It looks like a beast.

We've got her running for the first time in 20 years, and we're running her through the fields under her own power.
One of her future duties, along with goodtimes with buddies,will be to haul firewood and various other local jaunts!
