Hello. Young guy here who just got a 1951 M37

Post by CowboyTrucker »

Wanted to say hi and thanks for such a great site. Knowing I could find lots of info here is one of the things that convinced me to get one of these trucks. This will be my first full rebuild and my first manual truck so I hope to learn a lot as I work on it.

cowboy, Welcome aboard. Your truck looks like a great place to start and will give you hours of fun and entertainment while working on it. Many on here have been around since before this current forum and were members of the now defunct BigE forum way back. There aren't many questions that haven't already been asked and there are no dumb questions. We all rely on each others experiences to keep our trucks going. We are also fortunate to have members support each other with bits and pieces and have a number of vendors who can supply most required parts and a lot of experience if you ask them. Its been mentioned before that we all like pictures, so feel free to show us what you are up to. Above all, have fun with your truck and enjoy the ride...

Welcome to the site, it looks like you have a great candidate for restoration. I think that has to be one of the straightest front bumpers that I have seen on a new project truck. :mrgreen:
