When I flipped my hubs recently I did not fine cork in and of the hubs and only one was leaking. I used silicone and new seals. No problems so far.

The rims were about $330 plus shipping. I think they are now more. If you don't want bead locks or stronger pressed center a 1 piece rim might be the way to go. You do save by being able to mount the tires with out a tire changer.

I have michelin 1100r16 xls on the stock m37 and on wc62 combat rims. They go on pretty easy but a wider tire might be tough to squeeze because of the side wall stiffness. A rim minimum width 70-75% of tire width is the most common recommendation I have seen.

RE: 395s VS 1300s I really like the way that looks. The front view has great proportions, in my opinion. You will have better flotation in soft soil, and much better traction on ice than with any of the alternatives. They may not clean as well, but how many of these trucks can get enough...

RE: 395s VS 1300s WOW!!! Your truck looks really good!!! do you have any photo's at full turn? What kind of clearance?? It looks like you have alot of room?? maybe 16.00x 20's could fit? Thanks Vinny _________________ 1968 Kaiser/Jeep M35A2 w/turbo 1987 M105A2 Vinny, The 1600r20's would...

In Colorado CDOT has notified several wheel builders that they need to use a dot rim like the Dayton. They have also told them that rock rings are not street legal and people will be pulled over for running them on the road. I got this from a wheel builder in Golden. Don't know how they...

RE: 395s VS 1300s Finally got the lugs on the daullies loose with a new 3/4 impact and a flame wrench Here are the pics of the Hollywood side.

Maybe I could use it to open and close the door. Off topic--I don't have an exhaust brake, but do have big hills. Right now the m35 seems to provide some engine braking. Comments on engine brake ?

The Goodyear or General 170 11r20's look like a good tread. I saw quiet a few for under $200 90% or better when I was looking for the 395/85r20's

I noticed there are 3 air lock switches. Is one for the front air shift and the other 2 for rear lockers? I like the very clean dash. Are the data plates in Norwegian? Are there any of these for sale in the US? I know White Owl used to have the axles.

It's looking great. In another post about Allisons did you say the m757 does not have a 2 speed transfer case?

Cold weather starts seem like the best reason for the 4 pack. This is probably not problem in Virginia, but further north the extra juice really helps. I run dual 12 volts in my pickups mainly for better starting but also for the plow. I believe your amps are reduced about 40-50% at 0...

The bed looks great! Did it come with the A-frame? Not that you need it. The knuckleboom is the handiest thing I've seen on a Duece.

RE: 395s VS 1300s Ethan, I ran into some problems getting the dually lugs off so went and bought one of the budd dually sockets last night. Between that and the torque multiplier from Harbor Freight I should be able to get them off. Then it snowed! I've had enough snow for this year. Hope...

I decided to use Tru Goo to balance them. It cost $39 a gallon and they recommended 32 oz per tire. Staz recommended putting it on the bead also to help slide the tires on and seal the bead. The Tru Goo guy said not to soap the bead (it must react with the Tru Goo). I guess alot of rock...

Even though I just got a set of wheels I am still interested in yours. I would like to put the ones I have on a tractor and get a set of yours for the m35.

There are alot of ambulances turned into campers out here. Some with slide out kitchens and fold up bunks. I understand the mv problem. The last time I sold an m37 I immediately started looking for another even though the plan was to use the money for m35 parts!

The wheels do have about 1.5-2 inch pressed centers and a 7 inch offset. I wanted them to look close to original and be stronger. They have oring seals. I ordered them in November and was told they were backed up and could not start on them till after the new year. Still did not get them...

They seemed like they would work better in the snow.

I finally got the 395/85r20's mounted on the rims and got the fronts mounted. Will try to get the rears done today. Tools: 1/2 inch impact, 4 ft. pry bar, 20 inch pry bar, rachet strap to colapse the bead lock, 2 bottle jacks, 2 gallons of true goo, torque wrench, silicone, 5 gallon bucket to...
