1953 M37/Powerwagon

[Black max]

Does anyone know the value of an 1953 Dodge M37? Its in good shape and runs like a top but needs the master cylinder rebuilt and possibly wheel cylinders, the seats are toast as well. Hardly any rust anywhere on it.

I'll give you 2,500 right now.....
Seriosly think its worth a fair amount more than that like alot more...
Very nice

Winch is missing. $100 is the best I can do.

Sold an M37 with locked up motor 20yrs ago for $2500. In running/driving condition today, I'd guess $7-10k, maybe more. There's still a lot of them out there but no where near as pricey as the civilian Power Wagons. Big thing on the body is bad dents/wrinkles. That sheet metal is thick!

Seems like the thicker metal would be easier to fix. This one is pretty straight though.

Its mine, I acquired it in a trade. I'm going to sell or trade it. I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs. I cannot work the clutch with the door closed, lol.

In some ways, yes. But beating out a wrinkle or crease is pretty tough.

Old trucks like this one are a pleasure to look at.

That was my plan!

I’m rebuilding a ‘52 wdx powerwagon now. Prices vary pretty wildly on these, little nuances to them. Good running shape, closer to the 10k side of things. There is a Facebook group fir old PW’s. Best source of info and comparables will be

Nice old truck..

 

[elwarpo]

if you decide to sell, let me know, always wanted one...

10 to 15K depending. Awesome truck!

 

[Black max]

That would be badass if there is enough room for it to fit. Could be completely mechanical except a starter solenoid.

The engine bay is waaay tighter than it looks. After I got it my plan switched to a 4bt...

 

[AllenOne1]

My guess was $6,500

WANT

This is why you should sell it to a guy built like gimli the dwarf.
I'm that guy.
I'll give you 2 rolls of Copenhagen, a bucket of catfish, and throw a load of sand under your mobile home. Don't try to sweat me on this deal.

I can scratch out an hour or two to make this deal.

 

[Waorani]

On the off chance that anyone here ends up with it, and it has original engine, I've got a NOS head gasket I'll contribute to the cause.

 

[Jscb1b]

Think of all the pussy you will get!

 

[Hetzer]

That looks like a nice one. Most of the pics that I see of others are pretty rusty or missing a bunch of parts.

 

[SilentStalkr]

I’ve always wanted one of these!
