Hello everyone. I just picked up a clean M-37 here locally. Repowered with a 1969 300ci Ford straight 6 and SM465 manual. Has HMMV wheels and 37 inch tires. Was over at "SteelSoldiers" and decided to register here also to further along this mild build. '

Don't want to go overboard at all. Just going to fix some typical leaks,4.88 gears, LED lighting all around, M-Series or equivalent disc brake kit, and when the cash situation is right fuel injection along with a Gear Vendors over drive unit if applicable. Thank you all for keeping the hobby going and having me here.

Nice rims, they have adapters for those or do they bolt up stock?

That's a good looking truck! I love the patina. I've never been into the "cowboy cadillac" pick ups around here. How did you convert to automatic? I'm in the city of Boston a lot and have a crappy time shifting every second haha!

1969 300ci six. Ordering a DUI ignition today. Prepping for winter duty. Not to mention adding a heater to this sucker. If I can find something appropiate. My file size is too large for a pic of the engine.

They bolt up stock HMMV wheels and tires with runflat inserts. Looking for some used surplus winter specific stuff for later in the season.

it had it when I got it,the t-case slid back and all of the stock drive shafts were utilized.

I'll try to get some pics asap :)
