Yeah that's what I have heard as well, I recently talked to the shop guy at Vintage Power Wagons and he said the same. So I guess we will give that a shot. Thanks.
Get the dry lubricant spray for sails, I grew up sailing and it's the same situation, sliding that into a track. Spray it in the track and get it all over the bead of the top.
They put combat wheels on M37s in Korea, I have pictures in my collection, it was probably out of convenience not policy, but it did happen and I have them for my 52' M37. They are just better wheels, who wants to deal with split rims anyway.
But they used combat wheels in Korea, there were probably a lot more of those laying around than the M37 stock Budd wheels so they threw them on. I have a huge M37 picture collection and I have found a few examples of them wearing those wheels. I have a 1943 set myself actually.
I found this official picture not too long ago, I'm not sure what it's designation was.
This is where I keep my collection of pictures online, I buy a lot of old photos as well:

I talked to a shop guy at Vintage Power Wagons, he says they have been putting the 900r16 tubes they carry for the Super Lugs etc.. in the 1100s and they seem to be fine. I have some tubes from my old Super Lug tires that we can try as an experiment, it may not be a problem after all, I trust...
I see some people on here have some 1100r16 tires, I recently bought some XZL and I don't really see any tubes other than tractor tubes with a short nubby valve stem. All I can think to do is use valve stem extensions? Curious what you use, people have told me to use 900r16 tubes but another...
I see you have an 1100r16 tire as a spare there. I just bought some XZL and I'm wondering what tubes you use. I am having trouble finding some. The only thing I can think of is to use tractor tubes with valve stem extenders?
I own this truck now, we were delayed by covid and the fires but we are back on track. I'm doing an engine swap, probably an LS3, we were going to do a 318 but the LS is so easy and trouble free. I just got some Michelin XZL tires for her and we are restoring some combat wheels.
