  • 41" Continental MPT's

    Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and new to the M37 scene. I have always loved civilian Power Wagons and recently picked up an M37 because, being a military guy myself, have a spot in my heart for vintage military dodges. I have a build plan in my head for the truck, and need some help putting some ideas together.

    First: Dose anyone out there have a m37 with a set of Continental MPT's? Looking for a good reference for my upcoming build. I want to use the same wheel and tire combo as the Legacy Power Wagon at SEMA this year.

    Second: I am looking for some pictures of non-traditional M's with a civilian power wagon take on it. (I.e.-paint scheme, engine, tire/wheel combo, etc)

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Ohh WOW! Yes! Thats the wheel and tire combination I would LOVE to run on my WC53 when it is completed. The downside to the MPT tires is that they are very high load rated and are very harsh. We've run them on our 4wd bucket trucks at work and wow are they are they a hard tire. However, in a lighter vehicle, a lower air pressure may be used and would hopefully soften things up some. The 20" wheel also will help reduce sidewall wander and sway while driving.

    Man is that ever a pretty truck!
