Hello everyone.
Just registered, thought I'd say hi and go back to lurking and learning. You have a great resource here and I am looking forward to enjoying it as often as time allows.
I have two M37s, both 1952s I believe. One is a Nebraska native here and the other one came from Texas.
The Neb truck runs and drives (if your into prayer before each attempt to stop) and the Texas truck is a parts truck at this point (no title hasn't run since 1974, parts missing) but it does have rust free body parts and other goodies.
Looking forward to the adventure.

What part of NE are you in? I lived in Plattsmouth during my final 2 years in the Air Force and still have a son in Omaha and an ex-son-in-law and 2 grandkids in Blair.

Welcome to the fold... it does get into the blood. Lots of experience on the board here, good to get the lowdown before attempting something new. Keeps from having to do it more than once hopefully.

Thanks Mark....
I will need plenty of help and luck I am guessing. I have learned a lot just lurking and reading...and reading....and trying to absorb it all.
This is addictive...I already own two and I found another complete running truck yesterday...wonder what the wife would say about 3 hmmmm

To your new home. I like what Mark said, avoid doing it twice.
A third one huh, your wife is going to love it, or wring your neck?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. As for my wife, she is very cool, and half the time is the reason I get into these adventures. When we bought the latest M37 she took one look at it as we pulled into his driveway and said "I will get the trailer ramps placed and the tie downs unwrapped" guess she knows me LoL

Hi Norm, welcome to the gang! Wish my wife was as understanding as yours. If so, I would still have two trucks instead of one. A lot of good, helpful info on this site.
