Every theing looks OK, wheel bearings good and well greased :D needs some deck work but I'll get to that and have to do something about the lack of visibility of those ramps on a dark night, all black against a black night, good way to get rearended :shock: But, tags before starting on all that.

I second Warren's question because I'll be looking for one stout enough for my M, too.

Warren & Gary; yes the M37 will fit, trailer deck length is 17' (204") and the M is 184" 3/4" bumper/bumperettes.

Or decrease it Sal, might put the red M37 up for sale at the East Coast Rally, to many projects

Thanks Matt, I just put $1100 worth of new rubber on it last week along with new master cyl. rear brake lines, wheel cyl's and hub seals. It's becoming a dependable truck as I throw more $$$ at it.

Thanks Carter,
What about the weight limit? Will that carry the M legally?

Trailer has a 10,000 # capacity and with an M37 weighing in at 6050 # empty it should be OK but the dump truck is to light to pull that much safely.

So you'll have to buy a bigger/heavier dumptruck?
