After many yars of waiting, I am finally going to start on the M37.
I will be having the brakes ungraded to a dual cylinder setup, what have yall found to be a reliable set up that does not make much cutting into the basics of the body/frame. Thank you.

I changed mine over to a NAPA 39075 which is the same bore,1 1/4", as the original. It was for a 1978-1980 K 20 Chevy pickup. I had to put a couple holes in the frame for the lines to go through but it was an easy replacement. Joe

Did you have to "bend" the input shaft slightly per the Ugly Truckling instructions?

It's been a long time since I did it but I went and looked at mine and I didn't have to bend the shaft. Joe

In over a half-century of driving M37's, I've never had a MC fail, just get a bit mushy.
However, I have had the metal ends of NOS brake hoses blow off for a real pucker-factor experience.
