Difference between original M35 and M135?

[Like a boss]

Well, I've got a 1951 military truck. I'm trying figure out if it's an M35 or M135. I have books saying it's an M135, but they were printed much later than 1951 so they're not exactly reliable. I'm just looking for some key differences that I can look at to determine, for sure, which it is. Thanks guys.

Manual transmission = M35
Automatic Transmission = M135

Does it look like the truck in my avitar? M135

Same thing with dual rear tires, M211.

Post a picture or look on the data plate in your cab, if it's still there.

The rounded hood and distictive cab will give it away.

The one on the left is a M35A2 , on the right is a M135 which style do you have?

Here's the M135 with an M105 trailer. Notice the rounded edges of the hood.
The M35 series are much more squared off.

Here is a picture of my M34. My truck has single rear tires like a M135 and the cargo beds are of a similar design. My truck is also a 1951. I hope this helps
