    Ok, just trying to get my head straight and this is no easy thing to do...lol! What is the difference in these threads between a "early deuce" and "deuce"? I see different threads using the models M211, G749 and M135. What is the difference in these models, are they the same basic vehicle...

    1968 Deuce, new owner - new member

    your looks like a dream in comparison to what I am working with! But mine is going to kind of be a frankenstein when I get it done. My long range goal it to stretch the fram and put a bud body on it from the cab back. It will be a 1951 6x6 M135 school bus! I'm thinking maybe the first of...

    M135 - 1951 - Martin City Montana

    I've read all these horror stories about having to peel back layers and layers of oil and paint to try and find the vin# on the frame. Went out this morning prepared to do battle. Looked under the fender to see the frame and with a little minor brushing the flaking white paint came off and...

    M135 - 1951 - Martin City Montana

    I may get grief and boo's but I want to stretch the M135 and bus it. The ultimate bug out RV in the end. Before I do it I am trying to find out the vehicles history to make sure I'm not messing with something that has some historical significance.
