Jim, Do you still want the hubs for the disk brake conversion, or can you machine the front ones from your truck? We are supposed to get 5-8" Saturday. Nuce truck by the way. Glad you got it home! [thumbzup]

This summer I took the family to visit Maccus in Custer SD. He has an awesome 6x6 military 5 ton he converted to a camper. I thought it was the best thing ever, and expressed the desire to git me one. About a week ago Maccus emailed me a lead on this truck in western South Dakota. The seller got...

Nice truck! I cannot tell, but is that a heater in picture #4?

Are you going to have the room with the NP205 T case? Will you have to slide the 211 T case back? 3rd gear is 1:1 ratio, no overdrive. May be easier to get a Th400 out of a chev 2wd pick up that would have the chev bolt pattern, Maybe 700r4? I would not worry about the "built or hi perf" in a...

Where can you find the wheel cylinder rebuild kits? (Obviously if your source only has 12 left, don't tell me)

Did you get the trailer too? What did the county use the truck for? Was it a civil defense truck or wildland fire truck?

Does it look like this? bestofall.jpg

Interesting gear ratio, I cannot figure that out.

Welcome! Pics, Pics, Pics... Where did it come from? What has it been doing for the last 58 years? Do you know any of its history? Dan

Thanks for the offer, but dont send anything. I was cleaning shop before winter. The book was from one of my refresher classes. We get new ones every 2 years. There is some good stuff every one should know a little about there. Bad thinks happen to good people some times. Most of the info is...

It looks great! I cannot wait for the video, I need to hear it run!

I hear ya on the steam thing. Rember the speed limit is 45 in your town so you should turn 2500rpm. If I were you, I'd keep going on the path you are taking. Keep the TH 400 for now. Run it for a year.

Gunfreak, I FINALLY got my parts storage trailer cleaned out Friday. A package will go out Monday with some goodies that were left over from my other cab. Gauge panel looked ok, but glove compartment doors are weak. Maybe you can skin the outside of one and the inside of the other. I sent some...

Stan Leshert posted this on a thread earlier this week. I found it helpful. "The TMs live here! MilitaryTrucks.ca Website - M135" I downloaded the "Installation of the personnell heater kit (hot water)" It is interesting. Shows the hot water heater mounted on the inside of the engine...

Great truck and good quality workmanship Oldfart. Thank you for the pictures. What is mounted to the front bumper on the passenger's side?

It was mounted in a cab when I got it. It has only one coat of primer and 1 coat of white paint that matches the back window panel of the top. I assume it may be from an aftermarket winter kit???? Mine is a little different than yours.

MWMULES, thanks for turning the light on for me too! I just peeled the same hard stuff out of my cab.

Here is a picture of a home made hard top. It is a standard ragtop frame with some 1x oak cleats screwed to the front and side panels with a center rib running front to back. The back and top are 1/4" plywood. The entire exterior is covered with glass mat and resin. It was very strong. I could...

I believe the the M133 may have been a Canadian kitchen truck or a US single wheel cab and chassis much like the M135 only without a bed. Does it have a bed or any angle iron brackets to mount one? Is it US or canadian? Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

Thanks for the picures Jasonjc. What material is the roof made of? It looks kind of thick in the pictures. Is this on a M135 or 211?
