Re: M37 wheels help

No there's no issues with steel wheels at all. Both options are costly. Also the weight of the tires and the wheels will be very heavy. If I have a choice I would like something aluminum and a bit more more modern looking. The disc conversion is almost 3k from what I have read. If I try and swap out...

Re: M37 front and rear axel swap from donee truck

It's a 1953 and you can just say it's not there anymore. You will also have to do so many mods just cut out the frame numbers on the ford. I'm sure it will need to be shortened. Have you done any measurements on the 2010 ford? I would be very interested to know.

Re: M37 wheels help

I was looking at the mrw wheels. They are all steel. I'm looking to do disc brakes also. Changing axles to ford or dodge is looking much better now.

Re: M37 front and rear axel swap from donee truck

I found some f250-350 in the the 2004-2010 range. Also most at scrap prices. Was thinking since I'm using larger wheels they could stick out and it would just add to the look. Even using duels in the rear would be nice.c some dab work and it would be really nice.

Re: M37 front and rear axel swap from donee truck

That's even a idea. Doing a body swap would be much better. So many great ideas on this site. I'll have to measure to see what comes close to the body dimmension.

Re: M37 wheels help

Thank you.c those wheels are $375 each. A custom wheel is much cheaper. I was considering changing everything out. The both axel housings with disc brakes on there already. Seems like it would save a ton of costs in the long run. Disc conversion was $745 each.

M37 front and rear axel swap from donee truck

M37 swap complete running gear. Housing and brakes. I was looking for wheels but all these strange hubb bolt pattens and custom wheels. Then I though why not get a doner truck and swap everything including brakes. New drive lines and brake lines. Seems to fix the problem. Just as along as they are o...

M37 wheels help

Hi all.

I'm a new owner of a M37. I need some help finding wheels and tires. I would like to use a tubless tire. I rather not have to use a custom wheel from MRW. What options do I have. Please help.
