I know fellers other than me on the board watch videos on youtube from a channel called logcabinlooms. He has one of the neatest old trucks I have ever seen that shows up in some of his videos, but for the life of me I have never caught what it is. Anybody know?

Thanks I appreciate it. Now the downside. Since getting the info I have found around 50 of them for sale, and can't afford any of them. Someday!

Just looked it up. Yeah, definitely has some cool factor.

The best automotive deal I ever made, a 1953 M-37 with the PTO winch, (only 30% got them), with the grand total of 4,143 miles on the clock for the princely sum of $1,500 from a local fire department sale. They are not easy to drive, under powered in 2WD mode, but still super cool. I love mine. :)

Best thing I had close to that was a 1958 Willys Utility Wagon, someone had put in a ford 289 and under/over drive. In 4 wheel low under it crawled at 2mph, in over it could do 60 tops. Had 4 shift levers in it! Engine had issues with starting, brakes were bad so I traded it off for a 4wd pickup that ran decent. Never should have done it.
