Even if it went up to 169/ axle, I would do it. Your vehicle, your call. Great upgrade to the braking. Put them on the FRONT axle. enjoy the stopping power. Call them.

No, for the front 4 shoes. sorry for the confusion. Back brakes are the old woven lining.

I had my M37 brake shoes relined by Porterfield in California. They bonded and riveted the linings to the shoes. Give them a shout for your rivet needs. The R4-S lining material helps my M37 stop sooo nice. Much better than the woven asbestos (or whatever) material used on these parts. Their...

I have the S10 tank that is 20 gallon. Had to make my own straps to hold the tank up. See my previous comments.

I was contacted by Fairmont Scottsdale Princess resort to show my M37 July 1-4. The event coordinator said my vehicle fit the bill for the new movie coming out next year. Nice to have the old girl become a star of the ballroom in the resort.
