M37 Restoration (53-41242)

Nice job Wayne. Were you able to spot the hand-stamped serial number on the outer left frame rail near the forward rear spring hanger? Faintly stamped and should match the glove box door serial number.

Hi Brian. Yes the s/n was clearly visible and does match my data plates.

Isn’t the tire supposed to go in the cage ? Lol
Cage isn’t going to protect the guy taking the picture....

Sorry to be critical, but I can't say I am a fan of using those Michelin radials on a restoration that is at this level.

I am sorry Wayne but I agree with Rob. Bar Grips are so easily available (at least here in the UK) and in keeping with the truck. I do grant you though that the Michelins will last longer, give you more grip on the road and probably be quieter too but having done this nice a job so far......

I don't disagree gentlemen. I expected to draw some fire with those tires... I would also prefer to have some new bar-grips on the truck, but its really an economic decision at the moment. The new condition Michelin's fell into my hands at a price I couldn't refuse. Ill be watching for the opportunity to change them out when I recharge the hobby funding pool.

That sounds like a convincing argument !
