I have both the original paperback 686 page manual AND all 6 parts of the TM from the site on my PC. One must never depend solely on modern technology to find information. A book does not require electricity and can fit neatly inside the map box. At $30 plus postage PLUS the fact it's an original October 1955 dated Army manual I will be ordering another one for safe keeping. The one in the map box gets a little dirty sometimes.
A crew cab m135 has been done before, but I agree on not butchering up the nice truck. I bet you could make a new 4 door out of the parts truck though. If it's gutted then a turbo 400 transmission and 6.2GM diesel will fit right in without too much work at all. Personally, mine has a Olds 455 V8 and turbo 400. Not exactly mil-spec but most don't know the difference when they see it going down the road. Lots of power and it still technically has "hydramatic" in it.
