Anybody live near Worcester MA that could snag a CCKW top (for a M37) and either haul it down to the Aberdeen MV Rally in May or hand it off to somebody who could get it closer to my place in NC? I've got a line on one that I would like to install on a XM708, but getting it home is the tricky...

As some of you might know, I have agreed to host the Southern Power Wagon Spring Gathering this year. Since my Dodges are all M37 (and varients), and my friends who know the trials better than I all drive M715s (and varients), it will actually be a combined Southern Power Wagon/NCMVPA event...

Guys, my EUC for a MKT85 (kitchen trailer) came though on Friday so I've not got fourteen business days to get it off the yard at PA, Cumberland, Mechanicsburg... Anyone going by that could snag it and hold it for me until I can get up from NC? Or, if that doesn't work, anybody have anything...

Does anyone know exactly what size tire and wheel is fitted to a M796A1? I'm wondering if it is the same as what is fitted to my M1061... I need a spare for my tag trailer and am trying to expand my search... :) Thanks.

Let's see if I can get a couple photos of the M817 sitting in the driveway to post.
