deuce dump truck bed

[tobyS]

What is the model for a M35 size dump truck and does anyone have a spare dump bed just setting around (worthy of restoration)?

M342

Try asking Gimpyrobb.

M342 is the regular wheel base version. I had one of the short wheel base versions, but it was trashed so it got scrapped.

Thanks guys! That's what i needed.

Chris, does the short base have a model number that you recall? It didn't happen to be a 4 x 4 did it?

If memory serves, M59. It was still a 6x6.

Yea, that is what I was after. The guys with models have some good photo's for proportions. I found the M59 dump and it is small, not tall on the sides. Thanks

I have seen the same bed on a 61 chevy C-60.

So, Id say it was a "standard" bed from the time period.

They look a lot like Daybrook dump bodies of that era .
It also looks like they were a military supplier in WWII.

The M47 was also a deuce dump. It had a narrower bed with taller sides. The M47, M59 and M342A2 all were classified as the same yardage beds.

M215 had the same dump bed as the M59.

I would tend to agree. My old IHC had the same dump bed on it too.

Are you looking for a bed or a whole truck?

Hi Larry.

I would consider either way. I freed up some PM space.

Thanks, Toby
