Buy it!

I think you need a bigger can of WD-40. [thumbzup]

Most importantly.. What size is the large center (or gland) castle nut that connects the e-brake drum to the transfer case? My socket set gets spotty at about 1"+....... Any tips on removal of the e-brake drum and band? On inspection of mine, I found it cracked and missing a piece, and the band...

Nice truck! Glad to see I wasn't the only one with a... um... 'custom' front bumper like that..

Well, we shall see what I get with the good ol' Balkamp number. Ordered a NAPA socket, cheapest out of the ones I could find. Couple days UPS, and we shall see.

Can I have it?

What size is the front axle nut on a 1954 M37? I am now fully aware that it is an 8 point nut... for which none of my local HD truck shops have a socket for. It measures 2 1/2" across, from 'flat-to-flat', but is this the correct way to measure it? I see that VPW has them listed in their catalog...

I saw that truck some time ago, on ePay. I just wonder what the air-cooled engine mounted on the D/S front fender does??

Would you ship? Let me know. PM also sent.

Mike_L, thanks for the pic. That's just what I needed to know I wan't going insane. It's hard to tell what sadistic things the previous users of this truck did to it. I think I will just get a different backer plate, and try that out. The adjusters seemed run out all the way too, as opposed to...

Everything matched. Feel free to tell me I have the wrong one, that would be welcomed at this point.

On my 1954 M37, I seem to have a problem with my left front brake. I stripped all 4 drums off, and replaced all 4 wheel cylinders. Upon closer inspection of the left front, it appeared that the wheel cylinder was 'bent out' from the way it sealed against the backer plate. (it seems like they...

Are you really in Warren, PA? I have an M715 for sale in Pittsfield, PA, if you are. Let me know if you have any interest.

Allright, glad to see there's something to this. I kept looking at the diagram and removal/install instructions and thinking, 'there has to be more to this, with all those locks and keys..' I have been to the g741, but its been a while. Thanks for all your help!:-D

Yes.. and I now have the 3 replacement flathead screws, to replace the 3 I had to drill the heads off. That fiasco has a lot to do with why I'm asking this question... Anyhow, how does that hub come off? After I pull the axle shaft, what is there to do?

Anything I should do while I'm in here? Swapping out the wheel cylinder and rear brake line.. Seemed to be a little oil 'splash' in the drum, but overall, not too bad for a '54, in my opinion. Brake lining was in great shape, spring was great, all hardware moved freely, wheel cylinder was in...

Any pics of the M37 from PA??

where do you guys keep finding these things? very cool.... complete or not.

If they have any more for $1.00, please put me in for all they have.
