This 1954 Dodge M37 was purchased by the seller’s family out of Ohio 10 years ago and has been driven approximately 4k miles on their Armstrong county, Pennsylvania farm since. Power comes from a non-original Dodge small block 318ci V8 installed by a prior owner, which is paired to a factory 4-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive transfer case. The truck starts, runs, and drives, though a recent state inspection revealed several mechanical items that need attention as detailed below. 10 years of service records are included, and this Dodge is now being offered as a project with a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s father’s name.

The seller states that this M37 was stored inside a barn when not in use over the past 10 years, and the body has been sprayed with bed-liner material. Aside from an added front light bar, cosmetics have been kept largely stock down to the factory wheels, which are shod in older, dry-rotted tires that need to be replaced.

During the recent state inspection, the drum brakes were found to have good life remaining per the seller. Some of the issues found include:

The parking brake does not hold

The front lights need rewiring

The windshield wipers are inoperable

A hood safety latch is missing

Headlights need adjustment

Steering box worn out

Right-side bed bolt is loose

The seller notes that this M37 is not equipped with seat belts, a defroster, reverse lights, or windshield washers.

The cabin has also been kept largely stock and is covered by a removable canvas top. The driver’s seat is torn as shown above, and the interior shows general age-related patina throughout.

The state inspection revealed that the transmission currently will not go into third gear. The odometer shows 19k miles, with total mileage unknown.

A previous owner installed a fresh Dodge small block 318ci V8, which is paired to the factory 4-speed gearbox and transfer case. The seller notes that the truck starts, runs, and drives, and that the most recent service was completed on June 24, 2017. 10 years of service records are also included. The state inspection found that the master, front, and rear cylinders need to be replaced, as well as the right-side engine mount and battery hold-down.

Rust is present beneath the truck and on the exhaust system according to the seller. The fuel tank was rebuilt by the seller’s father, and additional undercarriage pictures can be found in the photo gallery. Videos of this M37 being driven forward and in reverse are shown below:
