I am in NW Arkansas anything within 300 miles would be great, I would like to see a restored PW or M37 in the flesh before I take mine down to the frame.

Check out this club... www.mvpa.org and look under their upcoming events... scroll down to arkansas..... its a military vechile site. there might be a M37 show up over there... I have a 1942 WC-52 I am gonna tear apart before to long. I hope to see one so I can look here and there on the inside to see how they did theirs.

If you go to www.dodgepowerwagon.com, you can find more events listed in the links and in the forum discussions. I know there are at least 2 Texas events scheduled this Spring.

I have a late war 52(kinda rough) to restore as well! But it has a M37 and '48 PW in line ahead of it, so take a lot of pic as you go!

thats a very close resemblance (sp) of mine. My father in law bought it from an electric company in the 60's, then let a fella use it at his airport over in Scranton,AR. After a while they just left it sitting on the side of the hanger and it became over grown with honey suckle vines. I could even see the truck and I was stanging 5 feet from it.... took two tractors two get that thing out of there. I hope to start on it this summer. I have a 3 year old son that I would like to get to help me...

We live around Fayettville Area. Not to far from Clarksville about a one and a half hour drive unless you go the speed limit. It is growing so fast up here it is getting kind of crowded. With Wal Mart, Tyson, JB Hunt and all of the other businesses. But it is still ok for the time being. But is nice to actually have some hills for a change Greenville was just to flat. The delta is nice but was looking for change.
