I drove a restored, milspec M37B1 for 3 years as a daily driver and it ran great at 45-50 mph, it would run 60 on a flat stretch but was in a strain. Remember they are as hard to stop as they are to get up to speed. I would expect you will need to purchase a spare transfer case and the long rear axle if you continue to let your son drive it.

Subject: [MV] M37 cruising speed?
Hi,
Question for 3/4-ton fans: What is a normal high end cruising speed for the
M37? How high is it safe to rev the flathead? My son is complaining about
how slow the truck is, when keeping the rpm (he added a tach) to about 2,000
max.
Thanks,
Bjorn
