i write:

way back when i was in the scouts one of the leaders had an m-152 which
is basically the
same thing as an m-37 and it had a stock engine in it and only went 50
on the highway.but
none of that really mattered to any of us at the time. we we're just
glad to get out in the mountains
and do some four wheeling in the mud and the snow.we'd sleep in the back
at night and explore
old logging roads in the day.since none of the other leaders had a truck
as rugged as this we
were able to extend our trips a little further into the backwoods.so
more time was spent crawling
at low speed in the mountains then high speed on the highway. we did
this for years until
we threw a piston rod through the oil pan on a return camping trip.this
all must of left an impression
on me because now i own an m-43. so the moral of the story is: if
you live near the mountains
buy an m-37. if you live in the prairies buy a winnebago.

best of luck
