I have owned several Binders and I am finishing up getting my M-5H-6 on the road.
these trucks played a very large roll in the pacific theater with the USMC.

Good luck

I have seen alot of M37's running the WW2 dodge combats with the bolt on lock ring and the 11x16 michelins. Is there a reason these are poping up more often in use on the M37?
