    My M135 Quad cab

    For your comfort, blow out the box seats and put Air Ride in. Such a difference. Done right, the purists look at the truck I drive and don't notice the mod. I think the even the civvies might notice your mod!

    Call me on a weekend, I'll drag you up to the compound, see the trucks, sink a pint.... I think that I can answer a few of your questions. Some things are best done in the mess, and not on a forum. Wouldn't want everyone to know!

    New from Vancouver, BC

    We will be taking the M135 and an M37 out for a toy drive tomorrow in North Vancouver. If you are near the Royal Canadian Legion (123 West 15th St. North Vancouver) around 2 PM, you can meet a couple of us. PM me your phone # and we can try to hook up. There are 2 active clubs in the area...

    My GMC, a little update

    How can we miss you, if you won't go away? Seriously, when the care package reaches you, back to work!

    My first heavy truck xm215

    It's not the stock winch. That one was what they had on hand. A s long as it works, who cares?

    My GMC, a little update

    Do NOT try to drink Ron under the table! You will end up with an empty wallet and a world class hangover! Seriously, Ron is a good troop, and I'm glad that you will get to meet him.

    has anyone used a M931/M932 to take a CDL test?

    You are about to deal with the Department of Moving Violations. What I have found, with dealing with them in the past, is that they don't like new challenges. If you get tested on a type of truck that they know, you will have less problems. Things that make them think, give them more reason...

    M135 line truck

    Rob, where did you find this Gold? Let us know which one will be your next Prime Mover!

    Any old M113A1 mechanics out there? Just curious about a bus engine that might fit..

    Post this request on Mapleleafup.net Rob is a carrier mech and is frequently on that site. He's the best one to answer.

    G749 preservation

    Rear facing PTO? Think dumper, tanker or firetruck. As for the Data Plate, Yes Please! Nice heater. I assume you will be using that thing!

    Shift lever for the sprag

    Where Sean lives, things are prone to freezing. Right now they are covered in white stuff. Not as bad as Alaska, but rubber doesn't last long. Unless your air dryer is up to standards, and the truck is ran frequently, you have problems. I wouldn't do the manual bypass, but that's just me.

    building CTIS system

    Don't do it. If you really can't put on a parka ... cool toys are NOT always the best! Military CTIS worked ... sometimes. You will spend a lot of $$$ to try to re-create an iffy system. I have pulled out a bunch of my hair, trying to get something out of the CTIS on a newer M36A3. I...

    2012 vin info thread

    I need some help with an M36A3. To get collectors plates, I need either the original date of manufacture, or the total number of these unit built. I have enclosed a pic of the data plate. If needed, I can send a snap of the supluss tag c/w bar code. Any help would be appreciated, Stan

    1953 M135 Rebuild Project.

    Now would be the time! These pigs are too big to push home! Wires are not free, unless you can raid a good junk yard. Not having to call a Wrecker to drag your butt back home is rewarding. I know how tough it is to push these buggers, I am trying not to get caught again. And NO, That...

    In cab heater install

    If you can get the original heater .... Do It. The 5 ton heater works, but it isn't the best match. BUT WARM is Good. Failing that, your local truck wrecking yard will have a bunch of school bus heaters. Just put in a 24 V fan and you are warm for the Freezin Season. I took 2 heaters from...

    Great White North to the Deep Deep South.

    There are many OMVPA members on Mapleleafup.net Why don't you get a preview? I'm on the other side of the country, so I can't help you. A locally restored one with the wrong paint job just sold for about $12K. There is a rather nice on in Manitoba for a good price too, but shipping would...

    My GMC, a little update

    Nice Isuzu. I have one almost exactly like it (Rodeo). It lost a vent window today, due to a break in, but the only thing that the crack head cost me was the window. Some of our crew caused him to bolt. Guys with guns seem to be a deterrent. He left before our crew had a reason to fill...

    My GMC, a little update

    Regimental Sargeant Major Ron Snellgrove, and his wife Gail,are almost on the road to Mesa. He has your contact info and the "Goodie Bag". There is an extra in there for you! Once he has the RV set up, he says that he will be doing some travelling. Your home base will probably be on his route...
