Then when specialty tire manufacturer Denman went under, specialty tires were hard to find even at twice the price :( I fig...

Re: Detroit Locker in M37 ??

The "Detroit Locker Style" locker I saw on Ebay looked like a plain old Lock Right in a factory case/differential to me. Function is very similar between the two, but Detroits are usually a full case locker, and L.R.s just replace the spider gears. I don't believe Detroit actually even mak...

Re: My first M37, its not pretty but it pushes snow

No wood back there at all.
Aluminum excrusions are attached to the fiberglass at the B pillar, behind the door glass,
but no wood.

Thanks Bruce,

Re: My first M37, its not pretty but it pushes snow

Thanks Ed, I'll take some better pics when I get a chance. The top is fiberglass, with raised mounts for running lights on top, and its mounted by rivets to a metal band attached to the cab. The back window is rectangular, with rounded corners. Regular glass (one corner is cracked, taped in place fo...

Re: My first M37, its not pretty but it pushes snow

Well I am happy with it, so I'm glad no one got to it first ;) I do have a question though, NH requires VIN verification since there is no title. I found the ID number on the glove box data plate, is it also frame stamped somewhere? I saw a pic in another thread, but it didn't say where the frame st...

Re: My first M37, its not pretty but it pushes snow

Thanks Rich! I think the price was based on scrap value more than anything else :( It runs great, in the spring I'm planning to pull the bed off, and wirebrushing the rust off the frame to see how good/bad it really is. If its not too far gone, I'll see how far I can get it on a shoe string budget. ...
