Glad to have found this site on the suggestion of a friend. Just bought this M-37 last week. HMMV wheels with 37 inch tires. Flathead 6 is gone. Was replaced with a 300ci Ford straight 6 and a SM465 4 speed manual, 5.83 gears. Looks to be fairly solid so far with a few fluid leaks and whatever other surprises crop up.
Not looking to do anything too radical. Would like to go with 4.88 gears,M-Series disc kit, LED lighting and when cash permits fuel injection/Gear Vendors OD. Hope to pick the hive mind on here for knowledge and lessons learned for a successful build. Thank you all for having me.
