Find a second set of rims and mount bar grips on those. One set for travel and one for show.

A tire I would recommend for the M37, if you must go the radial route, is the 8.25-16 Michelen from the G-wagon. Very close to the original size, and they have a nice mud and snow tread pattern on them. They also don't have the balloonish look of the LSVW tires.
The entire fleet has had those tires replaced in the last year, so lots on the market. Toronto has been putting them up for sale on CADC a pallet at a time, still with their rims. While the first palletloads went for $1500 or so, the price has crept down to under $400 for a pallet of 5. I have put those tires on the limbers and some other pieces around the museum.

Those do look to be a nice fitting tire Rob. My next move will be to get the proper 9.00 - 16 bar grips though. The current Michelin tires will get me through until the truck is complete and on the road. Once the border opens up, Ill be able to make a run to the US to avoid the expensive shipping in to Canada. Also it would be nice if our dollar strengthens a bit. The exchange rate adds a further sting.

Rob, if you get a chance post a few more photos of that M37 with the shelter. I have the same shelter.

A few hours of progress today. A larger workspace would be nice.

Cab tub progress... Well the hard part of painting the tub is complete. There are some very hard to get areas on these tubs. Mostly due to the seat boxes creating some narrow spaces and difficult angles to shoot paint. Having one of the small paint guns sure helps.
