Well final post for me on this thread.
After sustaining a lower back injury in the spring and not fully recovering i let the M135 gobto a new home.
I made a trade deal with a fellow steel soldier out in my stretch of the world.
He took everything, M135, 12v cummins with spicer 5 speed, parts truck and other new and used parts.
In trade i received a 1953 M37 pickup with two extra motors, so three total since one is still in the M37, and brand new TM books for everything on these models.
It was a long hard decision this year to actually let the M135 go but after more than a few times of trying to work on it my back wouldn't let me.
The M37 is smaller and will hopefully be a little easier to work on.
All in all i am happy the M135 is being kept in the steel soldier family and will do my best to do proud by the M37.
Thank you all who gave input over the years and encouragement.
Look for me in the M37 forums if you wanna keep ip on my shenanigans.
