:?:I am hoping someone can measure the small angle bracket that holds the 2 mounts away from the dash. Width, height, length, angles and may be a few pics. Or if someone has one for sale? Thanks

After looking at my bed this evening, I think I will be doing the same. Looks like you could remove the spotwelds on the rear stake...
HotRodDeuce added 4' to his truck I believe, 8' - 10' is going to make for one mighty long driveshaft. How about starting with a school bus and swaping out the cab, axles, and transfercase? It would be like doing a cummins swap only backwards.
I can't seem to find the pics, however I am going there in a couple of weeks and will look at the trucks. Or check out his Youtube video. M36's start at 1 min 44 seconds, 11 of them WO/W

It does not say, however the M34 or the M135 bed w/o the diagonal straps are the only beds I know of with a square wheel opening. What bed was in use during 1955 when the Data sheet was created?
I am thinking along the lines of this. Sorry to Maccus and CCEquipment for chopping up their trucks.
Yeah, now I need some to modify the sheet and the Data plate for my dash.
I was thinking more along the lines of building a bed similar in style. Sure the M105 bed or a cut down M35 bed would be cheaper and faster, but I have a tendency to do everything the hard way so.... As far as starting with a gasser, I have no intention of that. I am about half way through my...
