What is a descent price for a truck in this cond.

I know that this thread is 4 years old but....... I just bought a m135 for the axles it had 5 flats was missing the bed but the guy said it ran when they parked it. I gave 300 for it. We couldnt load it onto trailer so we cut the axles off and the air compressor and tanks and left him with the rest. Keep an eye on north mississippi craigslist if you need parts he may repost it for the parts. I found it by searching 6x6.

There's a guy out west here who has one listed for $25K . If your interested let me know

$25K for an M135.....is it plated gold? I would like to see some pics.

Sounds like someone who does not want to part with it anytime soon.

It has been completely re-done but still waaaaay too much $$$

IF it has the right parts then its a good deal.

Most large antique MVs are missing the bed. So having a good, complete bed is sometimes the only reason to buy a truck. For others its the doors, or rims, or electrical bits....

So you should feel around and look at other M135 projects on the web and see where they are at. If they are all looking for X, and this truck has X, then you are ahead of the game.

My rule is a parts truck is not worth anything more than $1500. Unless it runs and drives and is complete (but may need body work). If it 'needs brake work' or 'engine cranks but will not start' or the best: "drove 5 years ago" then its still a parts truck. The owner is telling you what he KNOWS is wrong. Assume that this is a START, not a complete list.

There was a VERY NICE fully restored M211 on eBay a few weeks back for just $5K -$6K (I don't remember exactly...)

Yes, it might cost you $25K to completely restore a large MV, but that doesn't mean it is now WORTH $25K!!

I'm looking to pick up a '55 M135 with everything there, winch, good bed, minimal rust for $1000- Canadian, so about $900 green backs. However, the block is cracked, but it runs.

Planning a repower and bob, so the bed may be available soon fyi
