Well the M37 is here and getting painted, a few things like the tailgate needs an adjustment, nothing crazy.

But there are plans on the horizon, how I do them is still the question. It looks like the steering knuckle rebuild would have to be done here or I would have to ship the axle. But if M Series Rebuild did the gears and disks on the front, then shipping the axle might be easier, then we just pop the stuff back in the rear ourselves and the front is all done. Not sure if that makes sense yet.

It was hard to steer turning around in a parking lot, I’ve heard putting fancy new bearings and races in, instead of old cones or something makes it twice as good. If it does end up being pretty good I won’t put power steering in, maybe in a few years.

I think my friend and I could handle the knuckle rebuild with some good instructions like these:

We also have the military diagram above.

Ha thanks, we’ll that link isn’t even good enough, there are important details in the manual, he is very emphatic about that! I may or may not ship the whole axle and have the gears, disks and knuckles done on that axle in a shop used to doing it. We can pop the stuff back in the rear after they swap that gear as well. Might make more sense... I’m going over the options.
