David,

The trailer looks nice. I had to chuckle when I read about the 8' lamps. :lol:

Thanks Bert. Needless to say all that glass and dust on my new paint job fouled the mood :lol:

Hi, I have a question, I'm about to purchase a M101A2 trailer for my M37B1, I have choose that for the hydraulic brakes, however the rims are not the same with the M37 (9.00X16). Is it possible with out any major modification to replace the A2 rims with the A1 in order to much with the rest of the vehicle??
Thanks Theo

As folks have stated in your other post, an axle swap would be the way to go. I have never come across adaptors and they probably would not be a good idea.
I suppose if one wanted to do the work you could use the truck backing plates to allow for a wheel cylinder and still in corporate the surge brakes.
