"Best Truck" at eBay Summer Nights 2018!
Hello All,
I parked my truck as a static display at the eBay Summer Nights concert on 7/19, the first time I've shown it. There were over 50 cars, trucks, and motorcycles on display and open for judging. I just learned today that my M37 landed the "Crawlers and Haulers" prize as voted online by the attendees. I am humbled, appreciative and grateful for the award (TBD on what I got-trophy, plaque, etc.) but should know tomorrow.
Here's a picture

Thanks Guys! I found out I'll be getting a trophy-totally unexpected but a great feeling that we M37 guys can compete with all the modern rides! I'll post a trophy picture once I get it.

Hey All, reviving this old post because I finally received my trophy, and took a couple of pictures over the Holiday weekend.

Only us owners understand how much effort and sometimes cost it takes to keep these vintage relics on the road, and participating in parades and shows and such. Congratulations from UpState SC. Hal
Re: "Best Truck" at eBay Summer Nights 2018!
Thanks Hal!
That's the only time I've had it judged, as I've never gone looking for parades and such since having been turned down at a Ft Ord base remembrance celebration years ago. You would have thought they'd have appreciated a Ft Ord M37 and a Ft Ord G.I. (my truck and me) for the remembrance activity. They said "...perhaps next year...' and I said "...not a hope in Hell..."

What I like about your truck is it doesn’t look new but it looks very cool. It looks like it means business on steroids! The trophy is the exclamation mark of all of that. Congratulations!!
