Dodge M37 ¾-ton 4x4 Cargo Truck
This is my representation of the Dodge M37 ¾-ton truck. The M37 was developed for service with the United States military as a replacement for the WWII-era Dodge WC-series. Entering service in 1951, the type saw extensive use in the Korean and Vietnam Wars in various configurations before being replaced by the Kaiser Jeep M715 and Dodge M880/M890 series. In total, roughly 115,000 Dodge M37-series trucks were produced between 1951 and 1968.
For this project, I tried to follow a similar design ethos to my M35 2½-ton truck, where I replicate the external appearance, scale, and proportions of the real vehicle as closely as possible while simplifying its handling characteristics (read: idiot-proof). This thing was quite the pain to make, but I’m happy with how it turned out, so hopefully you guys like this!

*On paper, the fuel capacity should be 156.25L, but the Space DLC / pressure update made things weird. As a result, the vehicle only has ~93L of fuel when spawned in.
