Re: Brakes on M-37

I found four lines that run up the frame now I know one is fuel and one is brakes to the rear and one to the front brakes. I have two that are cut off towards the front on the...

Re: Split rims what a pain.....

I paid $140 shipping for two tires from Akron, Ohio, to Redding California. Hope to have the tire arrive and mounted on the M-37 next week.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/M37-M715-Tires-Denman-9-00-16-LT-8-Ply-Military-Non-directional-Set-2-/180803022545?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr...
