John Eplin was looking for a unique vehicle when he discovered a 1956 Dodge M37 Army truck for sale on eBay. However the project really took a turn when purchased a 1991 Dodge 4WD diesel truck. He decided to swap the Dodge 4WD powertrain into the M37 truck. The classic Army truck is now powered by a 5.9 L Cummins 6BT turbodiesel inline-six. Behind that is a Getrag G360 five-speed manual transmission and transfer case. Torque is split between a Dana 60 front axle and Dana 70 rear axle with 4.11 ratios. The truck still rides on the factory M37 chassis with 37-inch tires. Listen to John explain the project at Holley MoParty.

Brought the M37 into the modern era. Best restomod I’ve seen of this model. Didn’t think the six would fit. Had a M35A2 original. Wasn’t good as an every day driver. Great for plowing roads. A bit big.
