This is an old U.S. Army Dodge M37 3/4 ton truck. They used them as troop transport and ammo carriers. Saw action in Korea and Vietnam wars. Not sure if any of the 3 I own was overseas or not but they are still really cool. The winch is out of action right now but it’s rated for 7,500 pounds. I’ve pulled logs and vehicles with it several times and worked great then. it’s a Braden winch that is driven by a PTO straight from the transmission that is a 4 speed. I’d like to Re-power it with a 4BT Cummins sometime for more power. The price to overhaul a flathead 6 cylinder is really high also. My 1948 Willy’s 4 cylinder flathead was $3,000 several years ago.
