Street-Titled 1954 Dodge M-37 'Ole Yeller' Monster Truck Roars with 440 Magnum Power

If you're looking for subtlety, look elsewhere. Nicknamed “Ole Yeller,” this 1954 Dodge M-37 monster truck defies convention—and pavement—with a professional-grade custom build and the rare distinction of being titled, registered, and insured for road use in the state of Michigan.

Far beyond a weekend garage project, this M-37 sits atop 2½-ton military axles, sports a fully boxed frame, and rides on a suspension system with a jaw-dropping 18 inches of travel. Power comes from a well-built 440 Magnum V8, paired with a 727 Stage III automatic transmission and a Dana 200 transfer case, providing the muscle and grunt to move this behemoth with surprising confidence.

Steering duties are handled by a hydraulic system, making the oversized rig maneuverable at low speeds. Inside the eight-point cage, the cab features Classic Instruments gauges, MSD electronics, an aluminum radiator, a high-quality stereo system, and power retractable steps—all blending monster truck performance with creature comforts.

Despite its wild appearance, “Ole Yeller” isn’t just for show. The builder prioritized functionality, ensuring every component was engineered for real-world use. According to the seller, the truck starts reliably, idles smoothly, and operates without leaks, smoke, or drama. Even the lighting setup is extreme, adding to the truck's unmistakable presence whether on the trail or rolling down Main Street—if legal ride height allows, that is.

Whether you're heading to a show, building a parade fleet, or just want to dominate the road and trail, this one-of-a-kind M-37 monster truck is turnkey ready and unlike anything else out there. Serious inquiries encouraged.
