Is that a M211 or a M135? I only see one set of rear tires on there, not duals...
Looks to be a 211 running singles since there are no wheel-wells in the bed.

Keep up the good work pa.rich!

It is a XM211 . I painted it green today but the color is too light. Going to try a darker one tomorow. The green is simular to the color in the backround of these posts.No good. Rattle cans, dont have a sprayer yet. I will get it right eventually. It sure looks better than it did in the avatar though.

Looking good!

I have wondered why the gods requested that the M135 bed be lower and require wheel wells compared to the seemingly cheaper to make M211 bed? Narrow I can understand, but why go to the expense of wheel wells?

Do you have the missing bits like the exhaust pipes and the passenger side step?

Yes they were taken off to straighten and sand and paint each piece. The exhaust is being painted with high heat paint . This truck is complete and original except for the M35 fuel tank and the roof. I shall replace both if I can come across the parts. I would also like to replace the drivers side fender that was hit one time.I am almost finished with the brakes and then shall start work on the inside. Parts I need are passenger side wiper air motor, Drivers side fender, M211 or simular fuel tank, hard top roof and cab back, but for now she looks pretty good for a 1952 M211. I would like to sell it in case someone is interested.
