I just finished cutting off the axle ends on an M101 trailer and welding on civilian hubs. I have some parts left over that I believe will fit an M37. Some parts were already gone such as both wheels and tires, one brake drum and the tongue. I have:

2 backing plates that I believe are the same as the back plates
2 pairs of brake shoes
1 right brake drum.

All parts are in new condition. I don’t have the space to store them, so I won’t keep them very long. I am in Denver, CO.

Hi Arlyn, Bryan up here near Idaho Springs. What do you want for the drum? My 6X6 is in need of some near new ones. Thanks

M376x6: I'm easy, what's it worth on the low end?

mkitchell: I have the cables that were on the trailer, but I'm going to keep them because I plan to modify the backing plate to work a parking brake.

M376x6: A 6x6 M37 I've got to see it! It that gov't built or a good after-market? Does that poor flat head have enough power to turn over that many wheels?

I built it from a picture of a 6x6 model in a book by Zenthmeyer. I put in a Dodge 360 V8. I figured a way to bolt the original transmission up to a small block mopar v8 bellhousing. She has power steering, an engine driven air compressor with a small air tank under the passenger seat. Because I used the standard B1 transmission I could keep the stock PTO and everything in its original configuration in the cab. I used a small frame section and the tandem setup from a cut up WC62 I found near Meeker many years ago. I put her together running on 16 years ago as I recall.

I've been in the shop making a run of adapter plates that let folks use the tubeless LAV wheels that the 11.00-16 tires come on to bolt up to the M37. Neat setup, it sets the wheels a little farther out giving good clearance for the wider tires. I've got the measurements and I'm going to make a set for the folks who have the M715 to adapt the LAV wheels to their trucks. I have these LAV wheels on the 6X6 right now. I posted a larger picture a while back for a fellow who wanted to look at the truck.

Regards,
Bryan Sage
