    Wc/m37 brakes

    Guys, Has anyone found a crossover number or local supply for the brake shoes on a WC or M37? I started looking and I can't believe the prices of 28-35 dollars a shoe. Maybe I am reading it wrong but I was pretty sure that's what was listed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jim
