M44 Deuce Question

[rumplecat]

I need a bed for a M35a2c I have that is bedless. I found a deuce gasser on a chicken farm with a honey dew tank on it, so I had to ask if he still had the original bed for it. And to my surprise he did! Unfortunately it has been sitting on the ground since 1984 full of fence post and covered in honey suckle vine as thick as my little finger. The bed looks like a M211 bed with the wheel wells in the bed and wheel well cutout on the side of the bed. If it is not completely rusted out will it fit on my M35 with out modifications?

sounds like a m34 bed, it will fit, but it is narrower than a m35 bed (if you have duals in the rear, they will stick out)

If it's not rust out bad I will trade you a m35 bed for it.

OOOH Rumplecat you may have found something there. If it has wheelwells and NO wide diagonal braces on the outside of the bed over the corners of the cutout, it is a M34 gas deuce bed. If there are the diagonal braces, it is a GMC M135 bed, which is much, much more common. The bolting arrangement is the same for the M34, M135, M211, M35, M35A2. If it is a M34 bed, not rusted out, and you do not want it, please PM me.

I will go out in a couple of weeks after we have a hard frost to cut it out of the brambles, but sitting on the ground and full of rotting fence post, I don't hold out much hope of it being intact. I will post photos next visit.

PS: The gasser has single 11X20s on it!
