Re: Leaf Spring Rebuild

I used International Travelall/Scout and front Jeep CJ7 springs to rebuild and lift my M37. M101 trailer springs are also useful.

Re: Converting M37 to D60 and 14ff axles

Re: M101 springs in a M37

Re: Hardtop, Canvas or Topless?

I had a CCKW top on.my 1st M37. It made the interior more noisy, fit poorly, and I think I had to roll the windows down slightly to open the doors. I have used canvas for last decade and plan to keep using it in summer/parades. I like the look and ease to go topless. However, I picked up an artic to...

Re: Drive train upgrade

Dave at Midnight Engineering in New Castle, DE used to swap M37 bodies on Chevy 1 ton truck frames. He beliived it was easier to swap the M37 body onto a shortened frame b/c everything driveline-wise is pre-engineered by GM. I swapped 1 ton GM narrowed front Dana 60 and 14 bolt pickup width rear int...

Re: Electric 24V wiper and fuel pump upgrade

Buy American Bosch wipers to replace the Trico vacuum wipers. They show up on Ebay regularly. They are often used in marine applications. They had no problem with snow on my trucks.

And yes, that link is to the American Bosch wiper you want.

Re: WTB two 9.00-16 tires

Coleman's Surplus in Millersville has some. My son and I spotted in them weeds walking between M35 and CUCV mantainance truck in October. They are off M101 trailers. Lots of ND tread w/o much weather checking.
Office didn't know they existed on lot.
