Anybody have any pros or cons on where to buy a canvas top for my M37 ? Whatever I end up with will be around for a while, want to do it right.

I installed a 6.2 with the 700R4 OD trans/married Tcase,4.89s,,,, preforms great ! I used the crossmember out of the doner truck and bolted it inbetween the M37 frame with minimal mods, the trans crossmember needs just 4 holes. Had to grind about 1/4 in off top of frame rail on one side and...

Yea, I made them myself, no matter how hard I tried, they didn't come out exactly like the originals. Memphis equip didnt have them. Thanks all

Are any dealers selling the brake lines that mount on the backing plates that connect the wheel cylinders to the tee ?

I need to ship a blazer from CA to CT, anyone recommend a shipping company ?

I was doing a search on the net, I think Utube, and there was a video of someone removing the rear armor. I have a pig and planning on installing it on a Dodge/Cummins chassis with GMC 2.5 axles for the listed reasons. My belief is that the armored portion of the vehicle is the best you can...

Wonder how bad it is when they say "but it never made it to the big screen. It did not pass the speed test". With that power to weight ratio, can it even keep up with traffic? Can it exceed 40 mph on flat ground?

And the M135 has torque rods that position the axle, the M35 uses the leaf springs. What is wrong with the stock axles? Only the ratio ?

The pig is a interesting, affordable, fairly comfortable armored vehicle. I look at it as an antique collector vehicle that will be good to have around if to much hope and change happens. Sould the SHTF I think the windshields are too large, where will you get one when once it gets shot at and...

Humber vs Peace keeper Some of my thoughts on the subject and why I went with the Humber. 1. although it was said the Peace Keeper (PK) windshield is 3 in thick and as good as the armor, it has to be replaced each time it is shot at and hit. the pig has heavy hydraulic drop down armor with a...

The peacekeeper is very desireable (=expensive). I compared it to the Humber before I bought one. The Dodge has 1/4 " single armor, the Humber has 3/8" and two layers on the sides, the windshield area is almost 1" thick. and it goes on from there...... But if you find a peacekeeper for...

I have one and think it is nice, seems to put the Dodge peace keeper to shame. Will be better with a Cummins in it

Is there anyone who has swapped the GMC axles into any other truck and changed the rotation of the front that would be willing to let me call or to call me to discuss the best routes to this process ? My cell phone is 860-301-9637, or I will call you on my dime. Areas of consern are: 1...

I am using the axles with a 89 cummins dodge and 3 speed auto. I am more concerned with the weight carrying capacity then the torque capacity. The monster truck builders swear by these as much stronger then the toploader Rockwells and they used the modified, sometimes even supercharged big...

Thanks, I am thinking of putting a set under a Humber pig, guess it will be within capacity if I don't go off road
