Glad that you mentioned being a vegetarian... I had forgotten that... I'll tweak my menues a bit this your so that we don't leave you out in the cold... Once we get a bit closer, I'll scratch my head and will post up the menu and costs...

It's no harder on the tires than using one of the duckbill wedges, or some of the other bead breakers (mechanical). It's a lot easier to hit them and miss the lockring than with a duckbill. They tend to slide and tuck under the ring so they don't gauge the tire or cut it. If you want to try a...

I'm in Raleigh about four miles from the GSA yard, and am there about once a week... I can grab and snag (even if they don't run, but they do... I have seen them...). Two is not an issue either as I can grab one of the Sargents at the office to help out.

I'll add some photos from my website from where I had to replaced a bad tube last fall (1100r16, but same principle...). You don't get the captions for each photo, but you can get the idea...

There is a thread on here (or perhaps the old site) that shows the method that "Scounger" showed me a couple of years ago that I use almost exclusively to break down these tires... Use three large (four inch or so) pieces of angle iron, and a standard sledge. Much easier to hit a piece of...

Just spotted this thread.. Be a good patient Nick... :) Take the time to recover fully... Get well soon... I found some parts for you (that I will drag up to Aberdeen...).

I've been trading emails with BC about this.... Since I am in Raleigh and can get the items up to Aberdeen for him to pickup (or have relayed), it looks like I will be doing the pickup... If I run into any snags, we'll let everyone know...

That's not the actual procedure for measuring a five bolt pattern. For a five lug pattern, you measure from the back of one hole to the center of the second bolt hole (skip one). This is done as it's easier (and just as correct) as trying to measure from the center of the stud to the point on...

Somebody has been working on your truck... The dataplate that you show in the picture is not from a M37.... When you get a chance, take a photo from outside the door looking in that shows the seeting arrangement. It will be a lot easier to see what you have going on.

A quick check of the tire/rim data on my website shows that the pattern is 5 on 6-7/8". It's a hard one to measure... :) The data on my page comes from Budd, the supplier of the wheels... See: Semi Drop Center Rim Contours Enjoy.

Sign up for the East Coast Convoy on the Convoy website: http://www.eastcoastconvoy.com/ On the left side navigation tabs, there is one marked "register". This gets you registered for the Convoy and lets us (well, me actually) see where you are so that you can get assigned to a Serial Unit and...

Yep, you would need the length of the stretched truck, M36, just for a non winch model...

Never even thought of haulling one of my M37's in the back of the duece or five ton. Way too easy for me to slap the towbar on, drop a driveshaft, and ensure that the front manual hubs are unlocked...especially when compared to loading and securing a truck in the bed of the other truck (I have...

How far are you going? I've pulled them accross town without pulling the driveshafts without any problems, and (I will admit it) a couple of times have towed one accross the state (240 miles) without pulling them. In the case of the cross town drive, I knew that everything was in really top...

I've towed many a M37 behind a M35A2C and a XM813... for long distances (GA to NC, NC to MD, etc...) Never have had any issues with them following the larger truck, or with the steering misbehaving. Just pull the driveshafts, hook up the towbar, slap the tow lights on, and go. A duece will...

Congratulations!! The dataplates are reproduction (or later stock) replacements (one can tell from the screws used to attach them, ones from the factory had brass rivets...). The VIN number assigned at the factory was stamped on both the dash dataplate and on the driver's frame rail right in...

Until you get it fixed correctly: bungee cord... :)

The bold type on the homepage for the website has: "The 2010 East Coast Convoy arrives at East Coast Rally on Thursday, May 20th, 2010" If you go to the route info pages, you see the timing for each leg. So far, the only legs that run earlier than Thursday, May 20th are the ones from Canada...

If we have folks that want to meet up at Millersville (and it looks like we do, we'll make sure that the Serial goes that way. As far as a route/schedule through West Virginia, that all depends on who is comming and from where... Sign up and we'll figure it out (collectively)... :) Thanks,

Very nice. Looks just like it came from the factory that way. :) What transmission are you using?
