Been over ten years since I last posted

So I thought I'd check in.
I've got a 53 M37 that my brother gave me in 1962, and a 54 XM708 that I aquired in the late 60s or early 70s.

Both desparately need a total restoration. I think maybe it is about time to bring them back to life and give them to my grandkids.

Yup, now's the time, Jim. Let us know how we can help!

Well, is there still a source for the 5.83 ring and pinion?
I should have bought several when they were more readily available. Need one for the XM708.

Stock ratio is plentiful. Just find someone who axle swapped their resto mod. Often they will give you the axles. Only work you need to do is swap center sections. (I've got several sets here for spares as needed. Less than $400 in them and 2 were fully restored, including brakes, and then not used.)
MWM and VPW sell the gears and parts. VPW has highway ratio gears also
