Looking for a copy of TM 9-1819AC

[Vicril]

I'm looking to get my hands on a copy of TM 9-1819AC which is the power train manual for the GMC M135/M211 line of trucks so that I can scan it in to a digital format and submit it to the Technical Manual section of the website so that anyone who needs it can have access to it whenever they may need it.

Ideally, I'd like to buy a copy, but, if someone out there has a copy that they are willing to loan to me for this project I'm more than willing to send them a security deposit so they know I'm not going to run off with it.

If someone has a copy that they are willing to scan in themselves, I'd gladly chip in 20 bucks for their trouble and others may be willing to do the same.

In order not to conflict with Steel Soldiers policy the manual to be scanned cannot be marked Restricted.

However it may be accomplished, I'm hoping we can expand our knowledge base as a community by making it available to everyone.

Hi Logan,

I would be interested in that manual myself. I dont have the money to purchase one, but this site will probably have it.

I'll keep my eyes open for one. If I find it I'll get it scanned and posted up for everyone.

By the way, is it just me or does anyone else think of RAMBO in First Blood ramming the cop cars everytime they see an M135? I love watching that part over and over again.

Hi Ron, I had noticed that Portrayal Press & Boyce Equipment are offering reproductions of TM 9-1819AC but since I'm unsure about the legality of scanning a reproduction for free distribution I'm really trying to get a hold of an original.

Halftrack, the best pictures I have of my truck are from its auction. As soon as I got it back home I went to work removing and disassembling the soft top and windshield to start doing some detailing of the cab.

My long term goal is to have her back in olive drab with the correct markings, pick up a radio set, maybe a ring mount for shows and parades.

As for Rambo, you just can't beat an airborne M135.
