1953 Dodge M-37 Military Truck
Owner - Carl Reinemann, Chardon, Ohio
Carl states:
"My first vehicle restoration project, a 1953 Dodge M-37 Military truck. Purchased in 2004, and restored within 18 months. The full restoration, including a video of the restoration can be found at: http://m37.crwdesigns.com.
The particular truck I purchased came from Pennsylvania. I am attempting to track down its service record in the US Army. At the time of purchase the truck was about 80% original, the electrical system had been converted from 24 volts to 12 volts, there were no troop seats or racks in the bed, and the front fenders and rear fenders had significant rust through. The engine, which is original would turn over, but not run.
My goal is to restore the truck as complete as possible, representative of the USAAF, as a reminder to the public of the sacrifices our service men and women have made over the years to protect the values that we Americans hold dearly, and as a tribute to the veterans".
