1954 Dodge M37 Power Wagon

VERY AUTHENTIC EARLY M37 POWER WAGON! STILL FITTED WITH TAILGATE TOOLS AND AUXILIARY GAS TANK! SUPERB DRIVER!

Introduced in January of 1951. the Dodge M37 and its many variants replaced the then-antiquated WC series with a more modernized truck that was tougher and cheaper to build than its predecessor. It was a 112-inch wheelbase. ¾ ton 4×4 that saw significant use by US troops in the Korean War. The 230ci Inline Flathead 6 was essentially a fortified 1930s Dodge passenger car motor; it made only 78 hp but 180 lb-ft at only 1800 rpm. Mated to a New Process NP420 4-speed manual transmission. it had a top speed around 55 mph in theory but soldiers found out quickly that the motor would quickly toast itself over 45 mph while trying to move its portly 5. 87 pound chassis. Production continued through 1968 and 115. 38 M37s were built. They remain collectible today because many found their way into surplus auctions and various other militaries still in active duty.

We are very excited to offer this 1954 Dodge M37 Power Wagon! Fitted with its original T245 Inline 6 motor. this truck is quite the brute on and off road! These trucks were the essence of simplicity and didn't have anything that wasn't required. Features of this truck include folding windshield. removable doors and top. auxiliary fuel tank mounted on the passenger front fender. dual rear-view mirrors. folding canvas top. spare tire. tailgate mounted pick / axe / shovel and defroster. Instrumentation is limited to the vitals: battery-generator indicator. water temp. speed. fuel level and oil pressure. The truck rides on beefy 9. 00 x 16 Mohawk Chief tires.

This truck has seen very little modification since being retired and still bears its original Army green paint. Army property numbers. and the 40 psi tire pressure recommendations stenciled onto the wheel arches. This truck appears to have lived a fairly easy life since retiring from military duty and was partially restored about 10 years ago. This included rebuilding the Ball & Ball carburetor. reupholstering the canvas seats and top. and replacing the brakes. The truck was in storage for eight of the last ten years and has seen duty as a military museum shop truck for the last few. The interior data tag indicates that the truck was built in January 1954 and delivered on February 26th. The truck survives today with a nifty (and very expensive) 24 Volt deep cycle AOG Aircraft battery that is guaranteed through 6/19/17 and new driver and passenger window glass. In addition. the truck comes with two different versions of the Department of the Army Technical Manual. one dated November 1973. Those into relics of American military will be very happy behind the wheel of this truck. It is recently serviced and runs as good as it did when new! We would be more than happy to answer any additional questions on this awesome bruiser of a truck! Thanks for looking!
