I had to put 2" (two inch) tall blocks in mine to help clear the oil pan. Just make sure that you make a new indexing pin to go through the block that contacts both the hole in the spring pad and in the shortest spring so that things stay aligned. I know some folks who then weld the blocks...

Thanks, I had a feeling something like that was happening... So, I've gone to "plan B" which really should have been "plan A", and if it all works out will be a long term solution... News will be posted here soon...

Not yet... I am having trouble getting in touch with Mike Popovitch, the convoy website webmaster... I am looking for volunteers to help run the convoy (especially the northern serials). I have asked Kenny Engle to be Southern Serial Commander this year (will coordinate routes, meeting...

Neither of my trucks have a zerk on the ebrake cable, and they work fine... Of course, I'd rather have something with a grease fitting, but what I have is what Saturn sells, only mine came that way from Uncle Sugar...

You are correct about the MT1 rating being the additional bit to ensure that it is yellow metal safe... GL5/MT1 is good...

Ouch, that hurts... PM me an address and I'll send the shoe down to you. I've got some stuff to ship this weekend anyway...

Just saw this post.. I can pull some tape for you in the morning... Hang tight.

Kenny, If you can't find a reliner down your way, I have a guy accross town that did mine for $20 using the new friction material and rivets that I got from Memphis. Said he had to finesse the machine a bit since the shoes are so much smaller than service brake ones, but he did a really nice...

Great news. Would love to see performance and fitment data (and photos) if possible.

Sidewall flex in a radial tire generates more heat than a bias ply tire and, since the sidwall flexes more that tube gets more "squeezing" as well. Radial tubes are manufactured and rated for this but bias ply ones are not. So, bias ply tube for bias tire only while radial tube can take the...

Actually, if you are talking about M38 tires (or M38A1), they are single piece wheels, so even though you do have tubes to worry about, you don't need the cage for inflation and a "regular" shop could handle them. You do want to go to a shop that is used to working on truck or...

You can get larger images (these are MUCH smaller than the originals...) by going to the www.rangerup.com website. There are photos of the M38 (and the models) sprinkled around the site in the woman's apparel section, and of course, in the "models of RangerUp" section... They are adding a...

You've got it... :)

And, yes, that is my M51 Field Jacket...

A couple weeks ago I was contracted to supply my '51 M38 and some assorted props for use by a clothing company in a catalog/calendar shoot. They have started to put the photos up on thier website... The company is RangerUp, and they market a line of Politically Incorrect clothing for...

The tube valve number is a standard nomenclature used to describe length, fitment, material, etc. for a valve assembly in a tube so that you can ensure that it is long enough, bendable (if needed), etc. to fit into your application. Nothing bites more than to have a tire assembly mounted than...

Call me. I have a line on one in North Raleigh that I don't want for my yard (too many projects) but which I have helped the current owner with... Know of another one down in Norfolk, VA as well...

One thing that I have on my site are several pages concerning tires, mostly info for folks running 900x16 or 1100x16 (or radials of that size) for M37/M715/Power Wagons, but some of it crosses over to other M series stuff as well... I have a link to a site that lists all the DOT codes and...

Yeah, I heard that one pair of spaces that was offered up are ones beside me that actually belong to a buddy from SC, who was going to offer them to a buddy from FL, both of whom are on this site and whom I would like to have nextdoor to me anyway... :) And, I'm working on the convoy, and...

It's a shame that you are so far away... I keep running across really nice five ton tractors but I want a dump... We could trade, but the shipping cost would be killer...
