Hi Toby, What is the saying, Your mileage will vary? Before I pulled the trigger on my build I researched the heck out of all the Bobber and singling threads I could find for well over a year. What I found is that if they did not make their own perches they added 4 to 4 1/2 inch spacers to bring...

Hi Toby, It's Behr over Tractor Supply Valspar Iron Oxide.

Mine so far in Satin, was meant for the 1943 G7123...paint match from the back side of the cabs wiper color and a little spit! LOL! I chose satin as to cut down on the flat maintainess.

4.28.18 Update 4.28.18 Update: Also shooting new video to be in it's own section on my channel (If I can figure it out) Tips, Techniques and Tools! I figured if the work on the M135 seems slow I will have these cool little fillers. The first one is Harbor Fright Spray Guns Buy or RUN and...

Almooosssssttttttt Dangit Almost got primer on it!!!! I still to this day wonder what bed this truck had they cut something off awhile ago .......did they make a bomb or wrecker 7 set for these trucks? Ground them smooth ..we don't need stress riser that lead to cracks now do we? Just a...

You know I have been so engrossed in the 2 speed transfer case details the I didn't even see the forest for the trees...how about a yard tour?!? I see so many interesting things!

Merle look up Peashooters's brake line sticky in the Deuce forum for a good reference/starting point on the brake lines...as for me, MORE sanding (arrrgghhhh) on the rear frame...and hopefully red oxide primer today.

Here is the last video: https://youtu.be/2S6XkoXEJIU I am happy with the 5 inches. I had also deliberated with mounting underneath the frame and using aftermarket RockCrawler hangers...but in the end, I chose stability over a little more flex. I touched on the thought process as I posted...

​After soaking mine for almost 2 months and taking the head off. I recommended for you anyway...if its that stuck if it gets unstuck it still needs boring...or just use it to take care of mosquitos.....if they can even survive up there! But mine was still stuck it was the lifters 3 were frozen...

Thanks for the clarification TrailBoss, I am a pessimist and erred on the wrong side!

I went with 5 as all the research I did showed the guys putting 4 plus inch spacers when they mounted them to the frame. If you went 3 you always have the option of adding a spacer (1-2 inches much better than 4+) under the springs or rearching (which is what I will do when I get rid of my...

As I see it ALOT of victories and only 2 losses...WAY TO GO GUYZ n Gal !!! Kind of disconcerting Senator Hewwitt left...If the bill gets tied up in committee any chance Senator Smith could introduce the Montana wording? Edit TrailBoss explained it was to have a sidebar for futher...

If there is a supplier for small orders (read one campers worth) get the information for me please! iIts far, far far in the future (planning a slide out mobile cabin sort of thing) but I haven't found a supplier for small quantities...yea I over plan...but less sticker shock when the time comes...

Nice work! edit: going for something a little robust (read lighter..trying for the featherlight title of m135/211s!) for my spare tire..but that cab roof WOW! I would love to have CAD drawings of that. Maybe in the future we could have a CAD drawings sticky...I am working on the M135 bed...

Here is my take on it, If you had left it with the patina, rust and flakes as you probably got it in...no I would not fix it..your XM215 probably had the character of a battleworn bulldog...very cool. As you have painted it, I would fix it as my eye would be drawn to that ugly dent and not...

Look guys and Gal, The OMV did a preemptive strike with the 52 letters sent out about registration, so they came out slugging as to not have the wonderful bill passed that Montana did. We need to form a united front and get a senator or representative to change the onerous first sentence...
