Ok, whoa whoa whoa! First off, welcome to the site, second, you can't just post 2 pics and say hi. You are leaving us hanging here.

That is a great looking truck. Tell us about the project: how long did it take? what had to be done? how did you go about it? what do you do with it? Is it your only truck?

Thanks for posting, now explain please. Oh, and we will need some more pictures.

Wow! Paint and workmanship look best-of-show perfect. The stenciling and star applications are perfect. Thanks for posting!

 

[JerseyHick]

sorry bout that, still learning this computer stuff.
Thanks. its mine. picked it up about a year ago, cheap! Was sitting for 10yrs, never ran. New oil, batteries & fresh gas, fired rite up.
Purchased another cab off a guy in north jersey. Told him what it was for, he looked at me like i was crazy.
Fab work on cab & bed took about a month. Painted it last spring.

Oh, a beautiful M135 butchered. I am sure my brother will be on soon to defend it.....

That may be one of the only trucks of that series to ever be "butchered" into a crew cab.

LOL... im rebuilding a Big Block Chevy & Th400 as we speak. Have it in by spring

WOW that truck is beautiful! Nice work!!

Certainly better to see it as a well-cared-for crew cab than rusting away in a field somewhere.

Good job!

 

[JerseyHick]

Thank you. I agree with you. It may not be all original, but i drive it almost every weekend

Awe Man! Who would do something like that! I cannot believe it! What the...

It is almost like the cabs were designed to do that. They have all the seams and joints in the right places. The only thing is the 2 support channels under the floor take a small re-work.

You, Sir, have done great work. I like what you did with the seats and interior. Your softtop is perfect. I'm going with a hardtop and a heater. The gas tank step idea; well, consider it stolen. (thank you) Ahem, Would you post more pictures?

Forgot: My cab is 39" longer than original, and I just got a 4' chunk of frame....

How stable is the center door post without the top? It looks like you filled in the backside?

I can't stop looking at it.

 

[JerseyHick]

NICE!! You could actually bolt them together using the existing holes. but cab would be to long, for my needs. Had to gusset the door pillars. weight of the rear doors would cause them to flex outward. With a hardtop you may not have that problem.

 

[hendersond]

You really did a nice job. I think they look much better proportionally than the M35 series. They usually end up with big spaces between the doors. Good job on the rear seat.

I can't stop looking at it.

I used 2''x4''x1/16'' rectangular tubing. Mounted it up as hi as i could, without it looking to cheezy. Verry little movement when u open & close the doors.

Looks like I got a new screensaver.

...And the guy shares his secrets!

Welcome to the SS Early Deuce forum and thanks for bringing the Limo. Simply breathtaking.

You made it look easy so more pictures of all those floor mods and home
made panel solutions would be greatly appreciated.

It's been a G-749 Christmas around here and you just took it over the top. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the ride.

Thanks Man. Your gonna love yours when its done. You can go to 100 car shows and never see another like it. Only problem is you have to hear people say you ''ruined'' it.

That is why I did not post pictures of mine.

Plowboy, Don't you think Canada needs one too?
