Another New Guy...

Post by Master Yota »

Hello all, I've been lurking around here, and a few other places gathering information for my 53 M37 buildup, and finally figured I might as well sign up and be counted!

I'm looking forward to some excellent bench racing sessions about our favorite rigs.

Here is a shot of my M37 as it sits currently in the shop. Its waiting for an engine and driveline transplant. I'm just waiting on parts in the mail. Then the ball will really start rolling!

Welcome!!

Wow, that is some truck you have there! Duallies in the rear.... :shock:

Don't you post on Power Wagon Advertiser?

We will await a list of your mods so we may be impressed further. :)

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I do also post on the PWA, but this site has more M37 related info, which is very handly when building one; hence the sign-up... :wink:

No Duals on the back on the truck. That was the tire I was planning on running, but the other set came up for such a good price that I couldn't pass them up. I had to pose them under the fenders just to get some inspiration for the build. I like the look. Not too many trucks out there can rock a set of 44's and still look proportional! 8)

I'll start a build thread in the tech section, and with any luck the truck will leave the shop in the spring. Most of my pieces are here already, its just a matter of putting everything together...

Haha....looked like duals!

We all like to see other's progress so we can pretend we are making progress too. LOL!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys...

Chris - I can't wait to see what you do with your M37, the flat fender you built was truly inspirational.

Bruce - your package should be in the mail in a day or so. All the connectors are pulled, I'm just trying to remove the fender clips. They are screwed on and being stubborn.

That's some good news, if it a big deal, drill 'em out? I am getting ready for an inguinal hernia op, so I'm out of commission for 3 or 4 weeks! :cry:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
