What a great weekend! Thought I read somewhere that strapping a tank to a cement mixer was the trick. Let me tell you: it was. I had the boys dump about a gallon of pea-sized rocks into it and let it spin for 4 hours. See the three photos below: 1. Before 2. During 3. After!

Hi All; New to the site, thought I'd introduce my M37. My long-term goal with this truck is to make it parade-ready, so I'll update this thread as I can. Grandpa bought an M37 back in the 60's for work around his hobby farm. He also used to drive it into town just for kicks. He passed in...
